There are several hockey fans on here. Not sure how long some of you have followed the game, but when NBA players rest frequently instead of playing, or your favorite baseball player can't play because of a hang nail...remember Clint Malarchuck...one of the most frightening injuries I've ever seen happened on March 22, 1989....he played 6 games later. Makes Joe Theismans leg look like Sunday School.
I don't know if the footage of the injury plays in the video linked in the article...the damn thing wouldn't load for me. I'm not going to embed/link it though if it doesn't...if you want to see it, go find it. Pretty good read though from Clints point of view.
