Update: Dr Zed Stable and Resting in Hospital
If you weren’t watching the Cats in action last night, shame on you b/c they are making the push to capture the division and playing great hockey. You did miss a horrific accident involving Richard Zednik and Captain Olli Jokinen. Zed took Olli Jokinen’s skate to the neck on a freak play which cause a massive amount of blood to squirt from Zed’s neck. This injury reminds us of the Clint Malarchuk incident back in 1989.
If you didn’t see the injury during last nights 5-3 loss in Buffalo you can check it in the YouTube video below. Warning it is very graphic.
Zed underwent surgery last night and is resting comfortably in a Buffalo hospital. SporTech Matter sends warm wishes to him and his family.
The Panthers are planning a press conference for later today.
Update 2:00 PM – Richard Zednik remains in stable condition this afternoon at Buffalo General Hospital. Sonya Noor, M.D., the attending surgeon for Zednik, said the injured player would remain in the intensive care unit and will be evaluated throughout the day.
