Still one of the freakiest things you’ll ever see during a sporting event. If I remember right, the other teams staff had a guy who was able to do a tracheotomy right on the ice so he at least had oxygen. Pure luck that they were playing someone with a staff member with that ability. Edit: I read up on it, I guess that was urban legend. The Sabres athletic trainer Steve Pizzutelli saved his life by physically pinching off the blood vessel.

I went to two different sporting events where a player had to have his neck stabilized before he could be taken off on a stretcher...Petr Svoboda was one of them. That was this game: FLYERS' SVOBODA IS RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL AN ELBOW TO THE HEAD BY MONTREAL'S MARC BUREAU CAUSED THE PHILLY DEFENSEMAN TO SUFFER A CONCUSSION AND LACERATIONS. - The Morning Call (mcall.com) A bud of mine who was a Flyer fan had an extra ticket, and I hadn't yet been to the Flyers' "new" (back then) building. It was a little scary...Svoboda wasn't moving at all for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read that if he hadn't had the power to skate himself to the bench as fast as he did he likely would have died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The one that sticks out for me was in 99-00 season when Trent McCleary of the Canadiens took a slap shot right to the throat. They had to do an emergency tracheotomy in the halls of the arena to save his life. He never played another game after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 Just found this chart on Reddit. Supposedly it shows that we are doing much better with Johnsson on the ice, and he’s just unlucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off the top of my head but I think he was back playing again within a couple of weeks. There is a really good documentary from 2015 on his story Goalie: Life and Death in the crease. Talks about his attempted suicide due to the PTSD and issues with his OCD. Really glad he has come through it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Similar to Damien Brunner, he had a good team prop him up but he can't make it happen on a much less talented team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is New Jersey working towards an extension with Tom Fitzgerald as general manager? Sounds like it. He has term on his contract, but only this season as GM. The last couple of weeks were very hard — especially that late collapse Sunday against Philadelphia — but, generally, the team is moving in the right direction. Just imagine if they get the No. 1 pick for the third time in five years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would enjoy the reaction around the league as much as the player the Devils would get. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
