DaGreatGazoo Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 **Warning** The impact on this hit is beyond brutal...as the father of a defenseman..this is really hard to watch.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EYcvkybOzbw#t=0s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 That was a rough hit to watch. To me it looks like he was trying to push him off the puck and it ended tragically. I really think they need to go with the Olympic rules on icing. Very sad indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) He was moving his hands and feet right at the end of the clip around the :43 second mark. News articles said the injury happened at the 4th thoracic vertebrae. If there is anything positive to take away from this at least he will have the use of his arms & hands.Very unfortunate.

Polaris922 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 We all know it's a dangerous sport. It's a shame to see a guy get hurt like that. Hope he heals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 @DaGreatGazoo Absolute worst case scenario there, off balance, quite a way from the boards so lots of room for flying impact....prayers for the kid and his family, who must be hurting emotionally right now.
