A Hockey Game Accident

Not at all. I've never had a card in hockey in my life, and I've been playing 17 years - to say nothing of the fact you don't get a 2 minute penalty in field hockey.

The keeper's job is to stop me from scoring - generally by stopping my shot, but occasionally removing the ball from me (though removing me from the ball often works just as well). My job is to get the ball past him, or stop him from taking the ball off me so I can slip it past him to score or pass to someone else who can. If his intention is to flatten me in the execution of his job, he will generally find himself airborne.

I saw the aftermath of the Zednik incident on some sports highlights last night, him rushing off the ice. I instantly felt the colour drain from my face and two minutes later I was bent over a toilet watching my supper come back up. :yuck: I didn't actually see him get sliced open, but I got a quick glimpse of a lot of blood, and when I couldn't shake the imagery from my head I got faint and sick. Even reviewing this thread and thinking abut it again gets me kinda light headed.
(and I absolutely will not watch those linked vids for fear of making a mess all over my desk)

Some people just can't deal with it.


edit: this makes a good case for always wearing a neck guard when playing hockey. I've never understood why more professionals don't.

I guess, as ive been lieing on a bed in hospital and had doctors cut open my week old scar down my chest from my recent open heart surgery to remove puss and infection with a scaple, and due to the antibiotics they were pumping into my viens i couldnt have barly anything in the way of painkillers, blood just doesnt seem to affect me.

That's why they never jump at players to take the puck/ball off them, they dive at their ankles. But it would take a very gritty goalie to do that in field hockey.

In ice hockey, there is a problem, because the goalie also adopts a crouching position, and he is lean muscle mass, not a blob! *coughs, points to picture of himself* The physics actually turn out quite differently, from experience.

On topic, small_fryz, should you have been unconscious for an operation like that?
 
well they didnt cut into the bone, but more cut the top few layers of skin to "burst" it then used wipes and stuff to clean it up.
