It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's scary as hell...And that's just me speaking as a viewer....How the hell did Vitaly Sitnikov feel when he was bleeding from the Throat!?!
In a KHL game, Sitnikov's neck caught a skate from a falling Ladislav Nagy, and here's how it went down...
Sitnikov is okay...He needed some stitches, but nothing major got cut...Unlike the first time I saw something like this happen...
Yep, Clint Malarchuk...
Malarchuk had his jugular sliced...It was so severe that if it was another period, if he was at the opposite end of the ice, he would have most likely died...The trainer literally had his fingers in there pinching it off as mush as possible while they got Malarchuk to a stretcher...
A smart man, the next day was buying stock in Vaughn and Brown and Itech neck protectors...
If you have time...Checkout the ESPN short 30 for 30 they did on Malarchuk...He recovered, and played again....But like Herb Score taking a line drive to the eye, he was never the same again...
