Clint Malarchuk

Recommended Posts

SportsCenter just ran a retrospective on Clint Malarchuk...very good piece.

I remember exactly where I was when that happened...watched it on SC that day, and they were like "If you just ate breakfast, you might want to leave the room."

I damn near threw up a few minutes ago when I saw the video again.

*he's the Sabres' goalie whose carotic artery was sliced open by a skate blade. However, the story goes into much more than just that.

I don't feel like throwing up today so I'm glad I didn't see it. I've never seen or heard of this before though. Does anyone have a link to the story?

EDIT: Just googled and found a paragraph on it. sounds pretty gross... :mellow: don't want to see it though.

What makes all that more amazing is that he had to fight OCD and depression as well. Tough mucker fother right there.

I remember watching that maybe a month or so ago. I hadn't seen it since I was little, found it very disturbing. I believe there was someone who tried to make skates sharpened with a u shape bottom as opposed to a point. I remember seeing the "inventor" rubbing his freshly sharpened skates against his neck (Ya freaked me out too) and this was a clip he kept showing to help back-up how it was needed. He said it would hold an edge just as well and all bunch of other stuff, but I never heard anything else.

If anyone here really wants to see the clip that bad, on the website broadstreetbully.com theres a a hockey highlight video on there and thats on there. I was pretty shocked when i saw it, i didnt know what happened. Clicking on that pic ties it together though, a forward slipped and went skate first into him. The ice below him was instatntly red w/ blood.

I have seen the video many times when it first happened and dont want to see it again. By far it was the worst thing I have ever seen on a ice rink.

Clint was actually a very good goalie and was never the same after this happened. Luckily there was a doctor in the stands that night how jumped on the ice and saved this guys life.
