NHL Player Gets Face Sliced By Skate, Plays 75 Stitches & 20 Minutes Later | Pat McAfee Reacts 

I’ve heard absolutely no one talking about hockey when I’m out, at work or around family /friends.

@@DrPhill96 your auntie’s basement doesn’t count as going out

Its because it's on ESPN, despite them hating buying the rights to it

@@josimon8711 - Oh, I see. That’s what it is? I thought it was because hockey was not worth many peoples’ time. At least I know Wayne Gresky. He was on cartoon with Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson.

I got into it last year when I starting playing chel with some friends. I love it, about the only sport I can actually watch a full game of any more

Toughest athletes in sports.

​@@scottthompson3493 just like soccer eh? 🤣🤣🤣

Greatest sport on earth

World Cup easy and champions league

@@di_gamezone8936 soccer not a real sport

Nothing better!

Agreed! And good ol' Gary out here trying to still argue CTE crap instead of trying to better the league. 🤣

You're not biased. They are the best playoffs in sports. The Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy in sports to win.

An amazing ufc card can definitely compete with the entertainment and drama of the nhl playoffs. Biggest difference is of course that the nhl playoffs go on for a long time, and a great ufc card is a one night event that only rolls around a few times a year. No other sport comes close to being as amazing to watch as those two though, at least in my opinion.

Eh still to odd to watch grown men skate around on ice no matter how manly they want to be while doing it. So yeah basketball for the win.

@@mikerhem1273 🤡

@@Matt-ve3ql lol proof is in the pudding my guy. Soccer = Run & Gun, Football = Run & Gun, Basketball = Run & Gun, Baseball = Hit and Run. Lol notice the pattern of Americas most popular sports. ((Foot to ground)). The Masses don't wanna watch men on ice skates as a sporting event. But hay atleast your ahead of the WNBA🤣🤣 as far as viewership.

@@mikerhem1273 so your comeback is most Americans are soft and would rather watch grown men throwing bit*ch fits after slapping each other on the wrist 😂

​@mike rhem You've never watched hockey in your life and it shows.

Lebron ruined the NBa with his corny super teams that still has him struggling to win lol. Plus way too many softies in the league.

@@buckfudker880 LeBUM!!!

@@nohmers18 Lol I can't say he's a bum but the more people hype him yes I agree. Let Jordan or Kobe create an all-star team every year and see how many times they fail... Bare minimum if that! This guy cries as much as Tom Brady but still barely wins!

You and 500 others. 😂 It’s a reason why one sport in talked about on the major networks and one is not. Haha!! Hockey.

​@@buckfudker880Kobe and Jordan didn't have to create an all star team because their front office did it for them. Lebron waited like 9 years for Cleveland to find a brain before he took his career into his own hands

It's why the NBA of the 80s and 90s was so damn good.

Call me crazy, but ice hockey is very expensive, so a lot of players come from money. Having money doesn't automatically make you a bad person. It does mean that a lot of these players that grew up playing AAA travel hockey at the highest level and do crack the NHL are genuinely playing for the love of the game. Very few NHL players come from nothing with a dream to make money. Most of them will be okay without millions from a contract. The game is also incredibly fun to play. I played growing up and I was in a low league. It was still very expensive compared to any other sport I could have chosen. I loved hockey, and that's why my parents spent the money. I think most NHL players grew up like that too. Super passionate about the game, because, and most people won't want to hear this, all the other sports are easier. I had to take skating lessons to be garbage at hockey, then I had to learn to play hockey, then I had to learn to play goalie. It took years to even be bad at hockey. Hockey is fucked, but incredible.

@@robotba89bad take. Also goalie WAYYYYY more expensive then skater

Facts

A stooge's stooge

I was at that game!!!! SCARY as hell!!!!!!!

I’ve been watching so long l don’t even need to see the puck to know where it’s going. You can usually predict who’s most likely to score during a power play based on where people are on the ice. An obvious example would be a guy near the net who’s either not covered or has position on the defensemen. That means a fake slap shot (slap pass) to that player can be redirected, or a player on the other side of the goalie moving toward the net can pretend he’s going to shoot but instead passes, or if he shoots there’s a rebound he can score or a tip that changes the direction of the puck.

@@terrygreene4166 10-4

Not a very good one then lmao

@Tyler Holt shut up bro it’s bound to happen if you doing it all day everyday you never done one thing wrong or never made a mistake at work before?

When you do things for a job thousands of times it’s bound to happen.. even with a .0001% chance

@@tylerphyler lol you talk to a lot of butchers? It's regular bud..

@@tylerholt6828 your lost in fantasy world pal, that's a regular thing when working with a knife 200 hours plus a month..

yeah Kane could have bled out on the ice if he didn't react as quick as he did! sliced right through the artery

You are missing 2 insane ones, Richard Zednik got his throat cut by a throat, he lived. There was a goalie in Buffalo that got his throat sliced open, and the trainer was a US Medical VET from Vietnam who knew how to pinch his aorta and managed to save his life.

No it makes sense either way It’s like when you’re telling a drunk story “15 shots of tequila later”

@My Cancer Journey neither one of us have videos wtf

@@jkallday52it’s a bot lol

@@RealBrizz the bot messed up. Sounds like my cancer journey was supposed to post, then the bot was supposed to comment upon that original post. But one of the bot posts either didnt make it past the filter or didnt get posted at all. Kinda sad how these scammers and bots will use something as severe as cancer to scam/exploit vulnerable people. Its pretty despicable actually.

I was happy to see you comment. I remembered that happening, but I couldn't remember the goaltenders name. Yes, that was by far one of the worst things I've seen happen in any sport. Hopefully, Pat will see your comment and look into it.

Facts

You mean he’d never return.

And still get paid. 😊

Taylor Hall’s scar after he got sliced was gnarly.

Rest in peace ❤️

He received about 300 stitches and was configured for life.

Had a slapper flush on the big toe area of my skate! My foot was numb on the bench for minutes and in a lot of pain. I was joking on the bench, someone get me a couple beers from the locker room(you drink a couple it makes for good pain killers)!

Yea, I think about that artery incident all the time when watching hockey! That was absolutely crazy!

Great post! Eddie Chevers was one of the first goalies to where a mask, but they were pretty crappy fibreglass and right tight to the face. He use to mark all the stitches he would have had absent his mask. But it was Bobby Hull and to a lesser extent Stan Makita who make masks necessary for survival. They heated up their blades and that allowed them to curve them, but the problem was it took a few years to learn how to control where the puck was going to go, and it also allowed for the puck to get elevated easier.

@ryanhamstra49 I bet your boyfriend is glad too.

@@wilcee238 I dunno, are you?

Full of ice skaters? 😂

Hol up what? 😂😂

@broadcastdave I remember watching that game in bed with your mom. It was the best of times and the worst of times.

😂😂😂

LeBeta!

Actually laughing out loud

@Tyler Holt you're right because I'm a man. Women suffer from cramps.

skol

He didn't miss a game

@@therapist6328 I couldn't remember that part, as I was 9 at the time

😂

Then on the other end of the spectrum are soccer players.

Turf toe is miserable. But I get your point.

You can’t pump up hockey; stop trying.

​@@DrPhill96 : Seems he's doing just that. Deal with it, bud. 😏

@@DrPhill96 Hockey pumps itself up; real ones catch on, losers miss out. Sorry BOUT it

​@@DrPhill96 Hockey way better than NBA

And Sydney Crosby missed like half of his career

​@@OompaL0ompa due to a concussion from a dirty hit. Crosby has missed at least 2 full seasons combined due to concussion issues from that hit. It's no laughing matter.

@@OompaL0ompa And Sid The Kid is still a legend. Multiple league MVPs, multiple times a Champion, multiple playoff MVPs, multiple World Championship and Olympic Gold Medals. And he's played in 1190 out of a possible 1437 games, that's 83%. He's missed 30% or more of the season five times in eighteen years. Lamar has missed 30% of the season twice in the last two years. Lamar is a kid that one good season, collapses in the playoffs when he faces top talent, has never really won anything, and has grossly overestimated his value.

@@OompaL0ompa He was on the end of two dirty hits, just look them up and watch a vid, and he’s still the best of the generation

a basketball player would be put in intensive care for a year.

😂

@@DrPhill96 NHL players are tougher. Back in the 80s Boston Bruins drafted Gord Kluzak as an 18 year old. He went to a party at some Boston College place and the football players were the doormen. He rolled the whole lot of them.

@@turboplazz - Huh?

To be fair, Malarchuk and Zednik didn't return to the game. Not as tough, lol.

@@chucknorris5141 Malarchuck had his throat cut, lost a bucket of blood.

One of the worst was a goalie who accidentally stepped on Borje Salming it resulted in him getting 300 stitches, and that’s not a typo. He certainly help but an end to the notion that European’s were pussies.

@@terrygreene4166 His face looked like Frankenstein.

Warning needed on that one...I saw it on Sports Center when it happened and was almost ill.

and also skated off the ice on his own while holding his neck with blood pumping out. That and Clint Malarchuk nearly dying on the ice were freaking scary. I saw the Malarchuk one on TV and along with everyone in that stadium thought for certain he was going to die on the ice.

@@allenlecorre they should check it out if they ever see this

Rugby? Baseball?

@@biffdanielson2820BASEBALL?!?! You’re joking 🤣

@SCIIMiwabl take a 90mph heater to the face and tell me that's not manly.

Baseball players be like, I have a blister, I can't play...

@@biffdanielson2820 I don’t like the sport, but every person I’ve met who played baseball was cool so I guess.
