Former Buffalo Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk apparently accidentally shot himself in the chin Tuesday with a .22-caliber rifle at his Fish Springs residence, according to the Record-Courier of Nevada.

If he still has nightmares from the First incident like has been stated before...Imagine the shit he'll be dreaming now.

Forget Potvin, this guy should have been nicknames "The Cat". 2 lives down, 7 to go.

Best of luck, hoping for a speedy recovery! God, that's awful.

RDS just said that apparently it was a suicide attempt and not accidental, now I'm in shock.

Normally a good bet when someone shoots themselves in the head, especially with a rifle. My only reason for thinking it may not be is the caliber.

Could be all that he had.

Kind of like trying to OD on 6 Flintstone vitamins... at any rate, hope he can get his head straight- he's been through enough.

Hmm, i kinda thought something strange was going on. The report i read said the gun "accidentally" went off when he was holding it between his legs. I don't think too many people hold a gun barrel up between their legs.

I've heard of things like this happening before. He could have been putting the gun down like was reported and it fired. I knew of a former Flyer's prospect who's father was killed in a similar situation. If Clint wanted to kill himself he could have done so with the .22 caliber, but he'd have had to rest his throat on the barrel. I honestly think this was just a freak accident.

Hopefully it was an accident.

Clint has had mental issues over the years. Not sure if they were related to his skate blade incident. But there was a special on TSN a few years about his battle with OCD, and panic attacks.

Well he had been drinking on the day of the incident and apparently it's a big no no when you take the same medication he has the last couple of years.

Bumping an old thread. This is a great article on Clint & his struggles:
