Richard Zednik hit by a skate, Rare Close up footage

[dfontaine38]

Was that scary for you? (unsuspected answer he'd like to here as an interviewer) .... "no of course not and why would it be? .. i was just wondering when the game was going to continue"

[IDRISMUTA]

We've got a bleeder!!!!

[curtp17]

That has gotta hurt like crazy

[2135468799]

id be this guy

OH FUCK, my neck is bleeding everywhere *skate off the ice rink*

[matthewvanderlee]

@2135468799 shut the fuck up, if that ever happened you you while you were playing hockey you would never play the game ever again. These guys are savage men, they take a beating and come back fighting after they heal form their injury.

[mbbs5000]

lol at the idiots saying it was a dumb question. clearly you people have NO IDEA how to interview people. i am a medical professional, and when you interview someone (in the case of a medical interview) you ask OPEN QUESTIONS. "what do you think?" is an open question that lets the person tell it from their perspective. you're not meant to take the question literally and just say "it was scary", you're meant to ELABORATE. don't go attacking the interviewer. it was a perfectly fair question.

[makaveli25]

the only fatality to result from an on-ice injury in NHL history was Bill Masterton

[thisnameistotallybad]

clint malarchucks was definitely worse

[lesztat18]

oh god holy sh*t!!!!!

[Tripper4420]

thats fucking crazy

[kjv2286]

jokinen fuckin snapped holy shit!

[xtheguyx1]

I don't blame him, that really was a stupid ass question to ask. "Was that scary for you?" No shit, I nearly killed someone completely by accident and watched him start bleeding out, duh moron.

[yayayak]

lol i was holding on to my neck the whole time and i didnt even kno it until the end of the video hahahha

[mrkash5]

if you think soccer has the most deaths then you should watch the isrealie olympics when terrorist's kill like 20 of them

[SolidCactus27]

You guys shouldn't be argueing over which sport has more deaths. That's just in-human to argue that your favorite sport has more people killed & you think it's cool.

[Doum92]

@SolidCactus27 Since people love to watch death and extreme things (Think about Saw..), I would say it's normal for this to be argue as if it was the weather... still...well..

[DrPhilMusic]

"What do you think? What kind of Fuckin' question is that?"

Richard zednik, guy sure has taken a lot of hits in his career.

[crossover3479]

thats what neck protecters are for lol and zedniks wasnt nearly as bad as malarchuk... the jugular vein wasnt even touched while malarchuk's was cut all the way through

[mardgn81]

Actually, supposedly Milarchuk only survived because it WAS his jugular that was slit. If it has been his carotid artery that had been cut, they claim he wouldn't have made it. Zednik was lucky (and smart) that he immediately got up and found help. He may have saved his own life.

[RSBeachs]

by the way 7 people have died onfield with soccer - someone got studded in the chest, went crazy had a seizure and then died and feher died on the field. and if you havent noticed, everytime i see hockey i only see canada and america vsing and soccer has every one playing..

[RSBeachs]

what the fuck dude? im leb\aus\ita and i like soccer, im not a fucking pussy i kick your ass anyday

[trfccurt07]

It is a proven fact that there have been ALOT more fatalities in Soccer than in hockey

In Hockey there has only been 1 proffesional fatality ever

There have been 3 in soccer just this year!

[WPNiseveryonesGOD]

Soccer is for pussies and brazilians.

[midgetyman567]

Who was the guy at 0:56?

[caravanov]

Clint Malarchuk (search on youtube), Buffalo Sabres goalkeeper.

[STLandy]

what kind of fucking question is that. lol haha.that was funny........dumb news reporters

[nathkidx0darkx0]

Lol 10th feb is my bday :D

[UchihaKina]

Zednik had a pretty good season this year, too. I'm so happy he's alive. D: I was watching that game on the T.V. and just went 'Oh Fuck.'

[Josh218512]

Danglesaucemusta, it's in French and that was off of a newscast in Canada. Not that difficult to figure out.

[burnienik]

LMFAO!!

"what do you think?

what kind of fucking question is that."

[danglesaucemusta]

Haha, it's uncensored in uh...China? Japan? Idk what language but you gotta have your big dudes show them whos boss.

[NuSyntax]

Its one of the European countries. Fin, Swede, Swiss...... They dont censor profanity too much. Especially in other languages....

[nikolatesla08]

the epedra doesnt help

[Surfermalibubarbie]

thats teribble.

GO PREDS!

[wilerman]

did the goalie live cuz i know Zednik did?

[a2thegoodwin]

yeah he lived too

[ClarZLarson]

dang that sucks so bad for the goalie i feel so bad haha

he got his throat cut any no one knows it for the first couple seconds and theres blood everywhere

[TJxxCHA13]

what kind of fucking question is that?! hahahah what the hell!

[doobiest420]

oh man i remember seeing this on tv. brutal. Good thing he got up and out of there asap

[20tyson20]

haha so true

[nichonr95]

i dont think your analyse is right it is many divers in football and they dont have all that protection geaR

[Danniskaterr]

thats because the aren't running SUPER fast and pushing each other really hard into a wall and playing with a ball made out of really hard material.

hockey is hardcore and i bet you wouldn't dare getting hit in hockey, and the fights in football are such pussy shit they kick each other and they never punch.

[nichonr95]

well I play hockey and yes I hit and are getting hit so just shut the fuck up

[Danniskaterr]

STFU u bitch i play hockey and i bet you suck at it

[spauthenticbreaks]

DID HE SAY NIGGER AT 1:37?

[spadedsrhkmk420]

i think he did...HAHAHAHAHA racist

[crazyperson3245]

haahahahahahahaha

[trfccurt07]

Haha

[spauthenticbreaks]

ahha that musta hurt then hes like what kinda fuckin question it that!?!?~!? ahh

[boxingsuperstar79]

fucking french!!!

[vicegrip37]

Lol " What kind of fucking question is that?" XDD

[NHLfreak87]

that thing with the sabres goalie is horrible 2 watch

[OB1KXB]

it's time te make neckguards mandatory for all players i think. athlete's safety has to be a priority in every game.

[Phifly130]

you want to make checks and fighting illegal, too? They get paid millions of dollars to play hockey and accept the risk, neck guards would be extremely uncomfortable and limit their playing ability.

[PolarManki]

I have played hockey my self and neck guards arent that uncomfortable and it doesnt limit their playing ability. If you want confort go play back on your sofa. I rather use neck guard than die on ice.

[vicegrip37]

Dude I agree with you so much. I really want to know why the pussy ass plugs are trying to like, take one of the best parts of hockey, out of Hockey, it's such bullshit! (Im referring to the fights)

[massefeect18]

did the caller say i wish that nigger died?

[austind710]

haha i heard the same thing at 1:35

[massefeect18]

no he said that nigga is retarded i think

[mawriz]

Jesus the goalie's blood was rushing... Horrbile.

[abortbort]

you'd better hope goalies don't play out there without pads on

[falconshitman1020]

wow the sabres are a cursed team first clint gets cut then zednick while they are playing the sabres.

[hellno123567]

how can u say that its not like they were like " ok ya lets get his throut cut this way and that and it will would "

[blazehand187]

he said they are cursed man.......he didnt say they planned it bro

[Charles1101]

ya right they went on the ice everything perfectly calculated so that jokinen fells while zednik is behind and they knew for sure that the skate would go right through his neck

[ChainGuN2]

DAMN That must hurt!!!!!!!!!! :O

[AE86turbo632]

wow NHL gives the players wut they call helmets and this vid tells us that they can keep halfasses helmets but they really need protection for their vitals when blades and projectiles are traveling at a constant speed that is sooo fast

[twelvehaha]

the helmets are actually reallly good. its the players faults for not wearing neck gaurds. there are certain peices of equipment that is optional for the player. these 2 chose not to wear one.

[binaryterror]

Holy shit what happened to that goalie? blood was spilling everywhere

[Ihavetopushmycar]

same as this poor bastard. Skate to the throat. Watch how the black jersey falls to the right and his skate catchers the goalie leaning in

[banditontherun104]

it was a past injury that happened like 20 years ago. The guy's name was clint malarchuk.

[Rosvolainen]

Respect to Olli for standing up to the stupid question. Reporters always ask the obivious and completely stupid things. You would think that they would put at least a little thought and effort into it at a time like that.

[jeffyRulez24]

i had a game friday the 13th of febuary 2009 i have a mark on my neck gaurd from my friends skate that hit my neck gaurd in teh third period so it can happen if your no careful, i was lucky i was weariing my neck gaurd or i might not be here today, friday the thirteenth almost got my neck cut go figure, the date reigns true, lol

[AE86turbo632]

yeah and this is u playin hockey (jason wore a hockey mask on every fri the 13th)

[mickiew4]

not every one, he wore a pillowcase in the second one

[RunescapeFreakAddict]

owch the blade just flew right up at his neck

[nappyboi55]

did he live

[MigetKidProductions]

yes

[lolwtfCATS]

I like how it's in French.

[XxMaDsPaCexXV2]

yea

[lalagurl4eva]

thats alot of blood.

[fullnelson9999]

idiot

[mallianimal]

"What kid of fucking question is that?" Olli's comment is as real as it gets.

Good reply though to a dumb question.

[adambarker96]

1:37 lol the n word

[sammybhoy101]

lol

its onyl funny cos u spotted it out lol

[lalagurl4eva]

lmaoo; wooow.

[dgregina]

lol um matt hes been ok for many many monthss

[matt11708]

wow thats sad hope his ok

[kaster222]

o yeah he is doing good

[KyleKilla1029]

i dont think anyone would dude! He should have worn a neck guard but that would suck to watch for the people right there by the glass watching a dude get there neck cut. by a skate

[terroriste]

ur dumb? or ur joiking?

[ForbiddenMeat08]

zednik didnt die...

[max432156]

stupid journalist ! of course jokinen was scared after cutting his teammate neck. That dumbass guy just trying to make Olli guilty

[fallout64]

he lived because the blade went 3cm in so it didn't kill him

[JacSPierce]

Crazy Canadians eh?

[mmusser19]

This broadcast was in French so they didn't have to beep him when he said "What kind of fucking question is that?" LOL

[huangbros]

so much blood

[jungleballs13]

did the announcer say " that nigger" at 1:37 ? or is that just me?

[Alkahaulin]

i think he did..

[Nikel75]

u 2 r slow its  A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE they prolly got a word that sounds like it like the color blak in spanish is negro

[nfignewton]

hah.. .I heard that too

[ruddy16123]

haha maybe... damn french

[NewYorkRangers9394]

i think its just a french word that sounds like nigger lol

[tripmmm41290]

good catch! haha thats EXACTLY what he said lol.

[shuteye8]

He says Zednik, which is the name of the player in the video you are watching... "that nigger" man you guys are dumb... pay attention.

[stopbeingcowards]

oo my god it looked like movie blood, i hope he's ok

[wwcduck]

0:44

it is a stupid question. I think everybody would be shit scared and feel guilty if you kicked our own teammate with your skate right on his throat.

[troidltroidltroidl]

i was there and it was fucking intense.. the blood just squirted out of his neck and the whole building went silent

[Predsfan14]

why the HELL do they show the goalie getting cut by the skate?

i mean its bad enough that they put zednik getting cut by someones skate but the other one was like 20 years ago....

[Krazydude95]

the other one wuz a lot worse it wuz a goalie named clint malarchuck

[ev3nflow]

His and malarchuk are utter freak accidents. Im 39 and played in the mid 80's for a local team here in the uk, nothing even remotely like the level of these guys. not even close.

But looking back , i trained and played at times without a lid(helmet)..

Crazy really.

But at the end of the day, just glad they were ok, and respect to the medics i guess. Zednik has a daughter and i have 2 and its more important they have their dad to grow up with...

[connorsk8erdude127]

haha wow.

haha Jokinen what kind of fucking question is that?

[colaforme1337]

1:00 fucking shit its flowing

[rbatlg]

hes the unlukiest man in the world, aswell as the other one, 2 in billions of chances, yet hes lukiest from surviving a slit throat, both of them.. dayum thats really bad on them two

[Vybes16]

guys you have to understand.. the NHLers are invincible hockey gods. theres no need for neck guards.

[LOLERSAUCE]

watch by his left hand as hes falling onto the ice.... thats blood

[vanhalen3399]

the neck guard doesnt even cover your whole neck

[ohiost824]

youre all fucking idiots learn something about hockey they should wear cages too??? beaverdammer youre a clown

[beaverdammer]

yes infact they should wear cages. I play hockey you fucking dick sucker. and we are made to wear them. when people in the big leagues dont wear them, that sets a bad example.

[govern4]

sure ur all tuff guys but rly u could dy its unfortanant but like wear some protection around ur neck and face

[pimenjavi]

mola la leche pero pobre poro tiene pelotas k sigue jugando xau

[tags714]

god bless

[jogsport]

what the hell at 1:10

[Hv71fan]

That's blood you moron.

[jogsport]

i thought if was vomitting

[ExactDarkness51]

Uhm..are you a retard?

[DTA71]

These Guys aint week after one week Clint Melarchuk WAS BACK IN!!!!!!! you hjave to be tough to play in the NHL

[a7xrox8]

i feel soooooo bad for him:S i love zednick

[dinobillington]

poor guy man thats enough to put someone off playing, do they not have neck guards or anything???

[Arnevet]

they have, since this accident

[beaverdammer]

they should have neck guards. they could have neck guards. but they wont wear them in the NHL because they seem to think its cooler not to. they should have to put cages on their helmits too, but noooo... of course they won't. it sets a bad example for kids too. if kids have to wear that stuff, they should too.

[dinobillington]

it's crazy to think that people would sacrifice their health just to get that extra bit of coverage. if that fozen biscuit is flying towards your face from a 105mph + shot then the last thing you should be thinking is "i hope ESPN castch this" it's more likely to be "wish i'd worn a visor or a cage".

as for the throat guard that should be common knowledge after the two incidents with the throat slashes

[hateyoualready567]

two freak occurrences in thousands upon thousands of games, give me a break.

[cornholio481]

k well im a goalie and i havent worn one in years and some pros do but you just never see em

[polskajuzbezkradcy]

you retard, a skate can cut through a neckgaurd easy, especially at that speed

[beaverdammer]

i think your a retard. atleast if it hit the neckguard, it could have helped a bit

[polskajuzbezkradcy]

lol, it wouldnt do shit, its been proven over and over again. skates just cut right through

[beaverdammer]

not always you faggot. why do you think they were invented?? shut the hell up

[TrinaLynn13]

Clint Malarchuk's accident was more scary than this one but they r all pretty damn scary.

[freetoken4u]

i havent heard anything about him for a while, how is he recovering?

[Codysb]

which player the goalie or Zednick? Cause Zednicks already back in and has been playing for awhile since the injury

[StiLLFLyStL]

It's always with Buffalo.

[blondie1028]

ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow man that rly must have sucked like hell!

[allstarRB1029]

i remeber this...scary shit...but not a scary as clint maulachucks

[tiedomi10]

Jokinens a bad-ass.

[Leiona90]

Finns say how things are, no soft talk... (Jokinen's reply on the reporters stupid question)

[k4de7]

so much blood came pooring out of that rioght away! ridiculous

[TheNextNabokov]

Its called the THROAT dumbshit

[Wh33lzZzZ]

NO WAY... what gives you that idea?

[TheNextNabokov]

all im saying is that you sounded surprised when its the throat that got cut

[Wh33lzZzZ]

Oh.. I didn't say that.. that was somebody else. I was just replying to what you had said. =P

[Antonrosengren]

no

he did not

[lj8qb]

did he die

[retaux]

malarchuk's incident was the worst..

[anobar]

"What the fuck kinda question is that??" Awesome response to an idiot reporter. Kudos.

[BostonmAn08]

next time people should think about getting their skates sharpened... lol jk but just goes to show how sharp they really are.

[5woktuy]

ANY GUYS UP?

want to chat with singles Fi

[Nikel75]

yeah the first one it wasnt realy a cut it was the corner of the skate stabbing it but i think the goalie one the old one was so much worse

[sunnygill1995]

it looks like the skate just touched it

[FANG262]

That shows you how sharp those skates are

[thewolfkiba]

This is scary... glad they were ok

[BigfreshJ]

what you talking about? i'm from germany and cant speak good english

[misterme05]

go to hell

[cabillionare]

he was stabalized in the amblance on his way to the hospital. the skate caught his cartroid artery.

[uffersann]

dude what happened to him in the end did he die was he ok?

[poplicker4]

lmfao, they just interviewd him in THIS video you commented on AFTER he got cut..

[uffersann]

o yer! lol

[BigfreshJ]

at m3lborun30wnsydney
