I know someone who was at that game, 5 rows from where it happened. They had to use buckets of water to wash the blood off the pitch. He said Schmeical was leaning on the post trying not to be sick.Originally Posted by The Blind King of Bohemia
The worst one ever has to be Clint Malarchuk, goalie for the Buffalo Sabres, he got hit in the throat by a skate, cut an artery, blood everywhere.
It happened in the 80s, but I saw a video of it last year, oh man it was horrible. The blood is just pumping out of his throat, spurting through the air and you're thinking "good Lord, I'm watching a man die". Unbelievably they kept him alive, and he survived, eventually returning as a pro. But he suffered severe mental problems for years afterwards, only seeking treatment a couple of years ago.
WARNING! DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE SIGHT OF BLOOD!
