  1. Don’t they make hockey players wear guards after that one guy got his throat cut? Or did the kinetic energy of the puck transfer through the guard?

  2. Scary sight to see initially. The refs suspended the first period with time left on the clock for Holloway's injury; you almost never see that in the NHL.

    A puck-to-the-neck situation happened tonight with Stolarz, too.

  3. Blues fan watching live in STL, you are prolific and timely with your analysis.

    Initially thought puck hit collar bone or bottom of shoulder pad as it went straight down. Your slow-mo shows it did hit higher up on side of neck.

    He initially seemed unfazed and carried puck other way with his usual speed. I was thinking with the delayed reaction it was probably vascular, maybe a damaged jugular that started leaking and blood started pooling. Then he gave the stinger or pinched nerve type of head motion which I didn’t think was possible in this situation. Your skeletal man 2:45 illustrated exactly what prob happened.

  4. Finally a hockey video!! Lots of injuries in the NHL that Doc never covers

    Sergachev, Doughty, McDavid, Laine. Could even discuss and explain Demko’s rare and unique knee injury

  5. I saw this live and it was scary af watching him get carted out on a stretcher, everyone said neck and they thought he was really bad because the announcers said due to the "serious" injury.
