Zednik laid open by skate blade…Not too graphic, however I understand there are more graphic images on the web…Parents take a serious look at neck protection even if your district, or coach do not require it.

Very good point about the neck protection. Shows how a freak play can become a very grave situation in a matter of seconds.

Heard that Zednik is in stable condition. Wish him well on his road to recovery.

Ouch! Not quite as graphic of video as when Malarchuk got his neck cut in 1989. You can view that on youtube if you choose, as well.

zednik is said to be in stable condition after life saving surgery in Buffalo. Best wishes go out to him

That is a very scary situation and shows that neck proctectors are good. Best Wishes for Zednik and his family.

Gross, that was a horrible sight. Sounds like he's fine though.

the EMT on hand was the EMT that helped Clint Malarchuk.

Ironically they both had their necks cut, with blood on the ice, in Buffalo! weird stuff if you ask me.

The EMT actually was a Vietnam medic, so he knew exactly what to do, rumor has it that he stuck his thumb in the artery to keep it from bleeding everywhere.

Zedi is in a stable condition right now in Buffalo General Hospital.

When a reporter asked Jokinen how it made him feel, his response was "what the **** kind of question is that?"
I suggest going to this link and submitting a message, even if Zedi wont read it, it still is nice to post!
