At 9:00 the dallas stars player on the bench callapsed and died he was brought back to life in the hallway and the first thing he said was can I play the next shift
Dude in the first clip only survived because the Sabres trainer Jim Pizzutelli, was a medic in the Vietnam war. He grabbed Malarchuck's carotid artery and pinch the bleeding off until they got to Doctors who gave him 300 stitches. It was a horrific scene that actually gave two fans in the stands heart attacks. Clint Malarchuck believed he was about to die and it's followed him his entire life, he suffered severe depression and actually tried to commit suicide in 2008 but survived shooting himself in the head. Luckily, he seems to be doing better these days now that he's opened up about his mental illness. He's one tough SOB
Remember watching that game as a little girl with my dad, we're from Buffalo. My dad had to walk away from the tv and when my mom found out what happened, she turned it off and sent me up to bed. Front page of the news the next day showing him skating off the ice w/ the pool of blood behind him (I know, morally wrong to use that photo). Scariest thing I've ever seen in sports. Should be mandatory for players to wear neck guards these days. Recently a player had his radial artery in his arm sliced open by a skate too.....
@Derek Charette I think we missed the point of his comment. He was saying he attempted suicide (twice I believe) and went through quite a bit after that incident, got treatment and is a better person today because he survived everything. That makes him a tough SOB. I'm sorry you're going through what you posted and I really hope you can find strength and support that you need to get through it. I have been there a couple times in life but I always try to remember if I did it, those who made me feel like that are the winners, not me. Stay Strong Derek.
The Dallas player at 9:00 was Rich Peverley. His heart stopped on the bench and he collapsed on the bench. He had a irregular heartbeat that he received surgery to correct earlier in the year and they needed a defibrillator to revive him. The game was actually postponed because no one really could, or wanted to continue play. Everyone involved was terrified, players were visibly emotional and crying, Alex Chiasson actually had to go to the hospital because he had an anxiety attack.
The first one, the skate cut one of the arteries in his neck. The trainer/physio saved his life. So now when you watch hockey the mask extends down to cover the neck. Because of that.
8:43 Dallas Stars player Rich Peverley had a surgery to correct an irregular heartbeat and he collapsed on the bench, clinically dead. They managed to save him and he's still alive today though is retired.
Yeah, I met Rich many times when he was an ECHL player, and he is incredibly nice. I was horrified when I saw that it was him that collapsed but was glad they did manage to save him, just really has to serve as a lesson the players really need to listen to their bodies.
btw this incredibly serious injuries in this video RARELY HAPPEN just so your not nervous to watch more LOL by far the most common ice hockey injury is probably concussions which are not pretty, but sure not as hard to look at
The thing is concussions are just as scary if not more so than broken bones. They might seem harmless at first but then you get guys like Derek Boogard who suffer from CTE and wind up killing themselves in their 40s because the concussions have turned their brain to mush
The game between Dallas and Columbus, Rich Peverley had a cardiac arrest, his heart stopped on the bench. He was revived but never played again. He's now a spokesperson for the National Heart Association and the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
John Smith no it’s not 😂 speed and intelligence wins it. Look up Wayne Gretzky. Not the biggest guy not the hardest shot but has the most points in nhl history by quite the margin.
@@JohnSmith-jd7hy Why are you throughout this comment section hating so much? You have the slightest clue what it takes to be a hockey player or how much passion these players have for the sport. Go back to watching diving soccer players cry about getting kicked in the shin too hard lmao
Alec Backy ok Ik he being stupid but don’t take it out on another sport we could make fun of hockey but we don’t know about it so why are you doing it to us without knowledge of our sport
You ought to take a look at footage of The Miracle at Lake Placid. In the 1980 winter Olympics, the American hockey team defeated the Soviets in shocking fashion. The Soviet team was easily the best in the world, had won 4 straight Olympic gold medals, and destroyed the best the NHL had to offer in numerous exhibition matches. The Americans were entirely amateur college players and had been assembled less than 12 months prior to the opening ceremonies. For perspective, it would be like a 4th division team beating Brazil on the largest stage of world football. The American coach, Herb Brooks, is a sporting legend in this country, even to non hockey fans. The Miracle at Lake Placid is considered by historians to be the single greatest moment in American sports history. Whenever I see footage of the event, I cannot choke back tears (I watched the game first run as a child).
Glad you gritted through this, it’s all uphill from here lol. You might want to watch “the beauty of hockey” next it gives a good summary of all the different parts of the game. And of course, a best fights vid. Welcome to hockey!! 🙌🏻
That's too bad Bertuzzi was an awesome person too, not that I can blame ya if you were from the opposing team. That fucked with Bertuzzi for life emotionally too, just a heat of the moment thing and he was a big guy.
@@johnjohnnston3498 Didn't help that Marc Crawford put a hit out on Moore. Both should have gone to jail. Pre-meditated assault causing major injuries.
The NHL isn't really as brutal today as it used to be. The league really cracked down on hits to the head (basically a zero tolerance policy) and a lot of the hitting and fighting is gone.
Eh, open ice hitting is still there and fights are getting stopped more often but if they take the gloves off right away, they let them fight. But you definitely have a point
Some NHL players can reach 30 miles per hour, though there is not enough rink to get to full speed. Pacioretty hit that stanchion at about 15-20 miles an hour. The Player who hit him was Zdeno Chara who stand 6'9" 250 lbs. Pacioretty is close to average size in the NHL at 6'2" 206 lbs(he's about ten pounds light of average). Conner McDavid has been clocked at 25.59 on an Ice Hockey Sheet. If he and Usain Bolt were able to race side by side McDavid on skates might beat him by half a second (9.0-9.1 hundred meter)
@@nochannel1q2321 clint malarchuck. youre correct but he struggled with symptoms for the rest of his life. blood loss caused some type of brain malfunction. he had terrible OCD. afterwords. he described in interviews after his career of every bump he ever felt in his car he had to pull off and be sure he didnt hit a person. en route to a practice or wherever else, he would drive all the way back home (several times) because he was sure he left the oven on. he was never the same
@@nothingtoseehere7608 If you guys are talking about the Pacioretty/Chara incident, Max played after that and what Chara did was not a dirty hit, it was the just a bad location
I remember you mentioning how shootouts are cool, well, you may wanna check out Best Shootout Goals by Delta Highlights 👍 edit: Also Clint Malarchuk, the first guy, survived. The trainer who went to him was a vietnam vet and pinched his artery closed. However, he got severe depression and tried to kill himself twice if I'm not mistaken.
The chap who had his throat slit in the 1st clip actually asked the medics on route to the emergency room if they could get him back for the 2nd period, bless him. He actually returned after only 3 months of recuperation 👍
That one when the player gets his throat cut is sooo fucking hard to watch. I feel for him every time. On a happy note, congratulations on your channel getting more and more attention. Not even a month ago you were like at 400 or somewhere around there. And now you are well over 2k in just a couple weeks. I love your vids and your interest in our sports culture!
Both of those videos where players throats get slit, both happened in Buffalo NY where the Buffalo Sabres play. Which is the ONLY arena in the NHL where the hospital is right across the street. That is the reason both men lived. They got to the hospital across the street immediately. At most other NHL arenas they wouldn’t have gotten to the hospital in time
Not just a neck cut, a very bad neck cut. It sliced his carotid artery and he literally was on the edge of death as he skated off the ice. I also remember hearing about fans passing out and players who had to turn away to hold their lunch.
4:50 There was history there, previously Steve Moore a rookie playing his first season in the NHL landed a dirty hit on Vancouver's captain Markus Naslund causing him to break his wrist. Vancouver was in playoff contention at the time, but without their captain they struggled and fell out of contention. During this particular game, several players challenged him to fight but he kept refusing, which breaks a "code of honor" amongst players, Bertuzzi got frustrated and POW! Bertuzzi apologized at a press conference and in tears said "I didn't mean to hurt him". (Well what do you think would happen....🤨) Bertuzzi was suspended for a year, Moore suffered career ending injuries and later sued Bertuzzi and the Vancouver Canucks. It took years before they reached a settlement.
I'm a NY Islanders fan and this past season 3 of our players had skate cuts, one of them needed emergency surgery to sew his wrist shut, another had a gash in the thigh and another got cut over his eye and has had to retire this year as a result of permanent damage to his vision. These guys play so hard, and get crazy injuries and frequently play with them. One of our defensemen broke his wrist during the start of a playoff game this past season and played most of the game with the injury.
The one that happened on the sidelines where they don't tell you what's going on was at a Dallas Stars game in March 2014. Rich Peverley, the center for the team, collapsed on the bench because his heart had stopped. He has previously been in hospital for a procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat six months prior. His heart was flatlined for two minutes. They got it started again. And the first thing Rich Peverley said was could he still get in the game. Unreal, man.
Steve Moore was paralyzed after that tackle by Todd Bertuzzi and never played again. It happened after Steve hit the Vancouver Captain Markus Naslund, Todd challenged him to fight, Steve refused so Todd jumped him from behind breaking his neck when they hit the ice.
The biggest hits ever seen in the NHL, is a great video. Tons of big hits! The beauty of hockey is a good one as well. I do recommend doing both videos, you won’t regret it.
Do tbe neutralzoneHD version. More slow motion shots of how pretzelized some of these hits are. When something makes you wince in slow motion, uoi know it's bad.
In really appreciate the fact that you genuinely seem worried for the people in the clips. I see a lot of people who just kinda take it as entertainment. Not that they’re tryna be disrespectful or are doing so , it’s just nice to see some compassion. I bet you’re a great teammate
This shit caught me off guard. I litterally needed some milk. The video started playing after the previous one and i didnt even see the title. I was literally shocked. Like medically shocked. When i saw that guy have his throat slipped. Daaaaamn. Needed like 20 mins to get to myself again.
U K: The first neck injury could have been a lot worse if it wasn't for the team medic who was also a combat medic in Vietnam. He immediately pinched off the artery and didn't let go until the doctors arrived.
The first and second clips were very similar, the first was Clint Malarchuk was a goaltender from 1989 in Buffalo when a skate severed his carotid artery and partially his jugular vein. He would have bled out in 2 minutes but was saved by their athletic trainer who was a former combat medic. He lost 1.5 liters of blood and caused 11 fans to faint, 2 more to have heart attacks, and three players to throw up on the ice. Malarchuk played 10 days later after getting 300 stitches. The second was Richard Zednik in 2008, a winger who was ALSO in Buffalo who had his common carotid artery sliced. Contrary to Malarchuk, Zednik’s life was not in danger. He was also able to quickly skate to the bench and was alert and responsive the whole time. He had emergency surgery that revealed his artery had not been severed, just cut. Also contrary to Malarchuk, Zednik took the rest of the season off. Now hockey players have neck guards to prevent this. They are not mandatory though, but piece is critical for goaltenders (like Malarchuk) who are more likely to be injured in the neck area, so many goalies wear them. There have been a few cases of hockey players dying from this, like Bengt Akerblom in 1995 when his carotid arteries were cut, which led Sweden to require neck guard the following year.
In the Playoffs, our captain took a puck to the face & actually scored a goal off his face. He lost 3 teeth. Went out for a bit to get a guard put on his helmet. Came back & played the rest of the game. That’s what hockey players do. They play with broken bones & knocked out teeth, & right after getting stitches. They’re badasses!!!
I remember that game when Max Pacioretty hit the side of the glass (5:33). He was out for a while with a neck injury but he’s back now and one of the top players for the Vegas Golden Knights 🤘🏻
As a hockey fan i feel a bit bad about the video he saw. I mean the injuries and violence is not common at all in hockey. The violence in this video is not common and was dealt with criminal charges or major suspensions.
I have a family member who played pro. He played with a broken ankle for 7 games, played with a dislocated shoulder for weeks (he just had full on repair surgery done last year at 67), had SEVERE concussions, only made less severe because our Mom made him wear a mouth guard from the age of about 12, worried about him loosing teeth, it probably saved his life. And he still has all his teeth lol.
I was actually watching the game where Chara tried to kill Pacioretty. That hit he took actually broke his neck, and it was a damn miracle he didn't end up paralyzed or dead. Dude was back on the ice in a couple of months, though. The other one I saw was the guy on the Dallas team. He was sitting on the bench and his heart just stopped. The medics managed to revive him, though, and the lunatic insisted on being put back in the game! That didn't happen though, because everyone else was so freaked out they postponed the match for later in the season.
The first clip is of Clint Malarchuk. The Buffalo Sabres trainer was an army field medic in Vietnam. He was able to stop the bleeding by pinching off the carotid artery in Clint's neck, saving his life. As a result of this incident, all goaltenders are required to wear neck protectors. Malarchuk is still involved in hockey as a coach. The fourth clip is of the "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Bertuzzi%E2%80%93Steve_Moore_incident " Steve Moore was knocked unconscious the moment his head hit the ice. The incident resulted in police charges being filed against Todd Bertuzzi. The court case was only settled in 2014, a decade later. Steve Moore never played another game in the NHL.
Marc Staal (player in the last clip that got hit in the eye) is fine and still playing. He broke the bone around his eye and had a small tear to the retina in the eye. He returned the following season and now wears a tinted visor during games due to the lights.
4:37 buddy at the bottom of the pile broke his neck during the pile up. He would never play again. Bertuzzi, the player who sucker punched him had to pay him millions in damages. Moore, the player who broke his neck, laid a dirty hit on the opponents star player in a previous game, this was payback. Hockey is craazy.
The thing is while Steve Moores hit on Canucks star player Matias Naslund was very scary, the play was completely by the book. Naslund made himself vulnerable by trying to play the puck in a compromised situation and wasnt in any way prepared to take the hit like a star player in the league should. Bertuzzis sucker punch on the other hand was by no means justified and was just a piece of shit, goon move
I’ve gotta throw in the tag team Backstrom & Ovechkin. They’ve made some incredibly skilled goals together. I hate seeing Nick Backstrom overlooked. He’s been a godlike playmaker in his career. I hate the Pens, as a Caps fan, but Crosby & Malkin too, definitely.
A couple years ago in a minor league game in Peoria, Illinois one of the players on the opposing team almost died. Don't remember all the specifics but guys got tangled up on a play and a skate cut the guys leg. Severed the femoral artery. Play was haulted and the medical team got on the scene. They saved his life and his leg. I believe this guy played again after recovering. If I remember right this game just stopped. Play was suspended halfway through the 2nd period. They finished the game the next day, then played that nights scheduled full length game.
The first clip was Malarchuk from the Sabres, and he’s alive and well because their game trainer or something along the sorts ran onto the ice and inserted his fingers into the wound in order to block blood from squirting out of his jugular.
First clip was the most absolute worst injury to ever have happened it was the first time it ever happened to any player, let alone a goalie, and yes Clint Malarchuck is the goalies name, that got his throat slit open by a skate, and he did live, and is still alive. What happened to Clint is why the goalies wear a throat cover that is made of plastic below their helmet, it basically guards from a skate cutting the goalie in that region. Now. there have been players that have been cut in throat, that is the second video clip, although more rare, it was a player that fell upside down, and his legs lifted upwards into the air, and another player that was standing up and skating skated by this player and the legs just move in an angle that the skates made contact with the players neck, but the player remained calm, and covered his neck and skated to the bench, and that player lived as well.
I knew this video would have Clint Malarchuk's injury in it. I hate watching that. Definitely the most horrific injury to happen in any sport. I'm so glad he was able to survive that.
There have been no deaths in the NHL ever. Multiple Heavy duty cuts, concussions, and broken bones. But this is the worst video you could have watched as a new viewer. You should watch "The Beauty of Hockey", it covers all the different aspects of my favourite sport. This is the only sport that you need to learn how to move before you can even play. Max speeds are hitting 35-40 kph. Players are averaging 6", 220lbs.
They're actually getting smaller, it's rare to see many high calibur forwards over 200, and in recent years smaller and smaller players have been filling out the rosters
Actually one death in 1968. Bill Masterson collapsed on the ice and died 30 hours later. It was attributed to an untreated concussion from a prior hit during a game. But you are right that no one has died as a result from getting slashed by skate blades or a hockey stick. I am somewhat surprised since I have seen players get slammed to the ice by another player hooking a stick around the upper body and knocking them to the ice.
Don’t know if you read these for not but the first clip, the goalie had his jugular cut, he lived. The second one had his neck sliced. The sucker punch that cause all of the fights got that player kicked out of the league (I think). The one where his head went into his boards, he was paralyzed. The other goalie just passed out
Skates cutting players actually rarely ever happens. Like twice a year and usually just the leg. Its bizarre how little it happens. Also the sucker punch at 5 minutes resulted in paralyzing the guy. In Bertuzzi's defense that was a result of piling on him from his teammates and he doesnt have a dirty career but awful overall.
Being Canadian this is all normal but seeing people from other countries react to hockey makes me realize how crazy of a sport hockey is. Played hockey for 20 years and only injury I ever had was separated shoulder so it's not that bad. Just gotta wear your neck guard.
Malarchuk _ survived but had ptsd and retired shortly after. Lost over half the blood in his body from a carotid and jugular severance. Zednik - Survived played on and eventually retired. partial jugular and carotid cut Moore - Broken neck paralyzed from the neck down - sued player who targeted him on purpose an won. Pavelec - fainted due to nuerocardio syncope and returned to playing career. Pacioretty- Unconscious for several minutes recovered in hospital still plays. Peverley- major heart attack on the bench and collapsed dead. Revived in the tunnel and later returned before retiring. Staal- broken orbital bone around the eye. Left game and returned to play later in the season.
6:10 speeds of 20+ mph (32.2+ kph) and yes, it was a scary injury, but Pacioretty recovered perfectly fine and is still playing today, and the glass around the benches has been curved over the last few years to avoid collisions like that
I'm sure someone answered these already. The first two guys with the throats slashed lived. The first one, Clint Malerchuck (sp?) survived bc the sports psychologist or something pinched the artery shut which saved his life. He tried to come back to hockey but had lost his edge understandably. Just to be clear though this was an accident. Player fell and his foot came across his neck. Freak accident. If I remember correctly 2 players passed out and 3 or 4 people in the audience had heart attacks. Ironically and eerily this and the next clip of Richard Zednik both had their necks slashed at the same stadium. Generally if the fights draw blood they get a larger penalty. Slamming into the side is called body checking and is allowed.. However 6:40 looks like there was no glass there? Players generally skate about 35 mph down the ice.
I haven't seen anyone react to Olympic Hockey yet, take a look at the men's final in Vancouver 2010, Canada/USA. great game, and then check out the crowds reaction videos, wild patriotic stuff there m8.
At 9:00 the dallas stars player collapsed on the bench and died but they brought him back to life and the first words he said we're "can I play the next shift"
*Football/soccer player gets hit by a finger* "AHHHH FUUCK FUUUCK FUCK DUDE I CANT STAND I THINK MY LEG IS BROKEN!" *hockey player gets his neck sliced wide open* *and* *starts walking*
The first one caused people to faint in the stands two heart attacks and I think 3 players to vomit on the ice. They didn’t continue the game until they knew he was ok. He was conscious the whole way and asked to call his mom and a priest. He was back 10 days later.
Alabama has routinely been one of the best teams in college football. They had a team recently where almost every player on their defense went to the NFL. Here is the video title. I think it would make a sick reaction video. Alabama Defensive Highlights 2016 Season (HD) King Gosa
I play hockey and my teams goalie coach when he played had his throat slit by a skate like the first clip and he is fine. Most players in youth leagues like mine and minor leagues will wear a neck protector which is a thicker piece of fabric connected to the players undershirt, it helps protect against skate blades and slashes from hockey sticks but most players in the NHL opt not to where one for more breathability
Yes thankfully the one in the first clip survived his name was Clint Malarchuk and played for the Buffalo Sabres I’d doctors did not attend that game they said he would been a goner. Thankfully he was rushed to a hospital and survived
They can skate upwards of 25 to 30 mph in the NHL, that hit on Pacciorety "in the red, blue and white" where his head hit the stanchion was probably at least 18mph. Source, I play.
The first two clips... first clip the player played for the buffalo sabres and then the second clip they were playing the buffalo sabres. I remember my dad said he saw both and he was traumatized.
The Bertuzzi Punch is the most misunderstood injury in the NHL. The punch wasn't what did the damage. The player just dove there. The players laying on top of him did it. As far as I'm aware with him almost ending their Captain's career he deserved that career-ending injury himself. Didn't deserve a single penny from Bertuzzi. Moore was nothing but a goon. His own players piling onto him ending it. Bertuzzi did absolutely nothing to cause it. Should not have dived.
I will never forgive Chara for that push into the stanchion. It's incredible that Pacioretty still plays an excellent game (even though VKs just got eliminated by the Montreal Canadians tonight - kind of ironic).
The goalie who had his neck cut open (first one in the video) was back on the ice 10 days later. His name is Clint Malarchuk. Also.. If you want to see a really crazy hockey fight... one where a team goes into the stands after the fans... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fpbD6W7YT5A.html I was 7 years old and at the game with my dad and brother. Was right across the ice from the fight. Hockey brawls in the 70's were crazy!
I'm pretty sure every one of them continued to play following those injuries (obviously with some deserved recovery time), and yet I've seen soccer players drop to the ground screaming for a stretcher because somebody breathed on them aggressively...says something about the mentality difference between these sports, the only sports I can think of that come close to the toughness of hockey players are rugby, downhill mountain bike, and motocross
