what happeend there busted neck??
Looks like he got hit in the throat? Who was the golie for the oilers back then? Anyone know what happened??
I saw the same clip on tv during a hockey review show they do like once a year, and they were talking about the worst incidents. The guy clipped the goalies throat with his skate. This was like tha incident that prompted the invention of safer skates that wont cut skin.

was he okay? What ended up happening to him??
His throat was slit on another player's ice skate. He was out for only three weeks before coming back.
His name is Clint Marlarchuck (spelling) he used to play fo the Capitals. He credits the trainers with saving his life. The skate cut his artery. They said another few minutes and he would have died. I believe he was out cold by the time they got him on the helicopter.
He lived as he was very lucky, damn it was gross!
Yea, that was ruthless.
DAMN thats crazy.
hockey is gonna need some thrills like that to bring the fans out... i'm a fan though myself, growin up in Detroit... but now the wings arent deep... fcukin strike...
it looked like an artery...looked like he would have died w/o immediate attention
Throat slit on hockey blades used to happen a lot before neck-guards became mandatory for kid leagues.
A 12 or 13 year old kid had his jugular slit (goalie) many years ago - before neck guard rules - at the local arena. One of my friends (fellow FF-EMT who moonlight as a Hockey Medic) saved the kid. It bled so much he couldn't even reach for a hemostat to clamp the jugular, he just pinched in with his fingers and waited the the paramedics to arrive.
Good thing hockey gear protects you better now.
