edjr 7,034 Posted January 4, 2023 3 minutes ago, Shooter McGavin said: Again, I'm not angry, I'm just passionate. I'll try again. I wouldn't call this circumstance similar to a torn ACL or a concussion or other injuries. The guy's heart stopped, and it was life or death on the field while players watched. You might think that's similar to an ACL tear, but I think it's quite different. If you saw the players crying on the field, you would know it's different. We might just have to disagree on this point. Another aspect that makes this different is the timing. Monday night week 17, both teams in the playoffs, so the opportunity and the urgency to make up this game is low. So a combination of the trauma to the players of the injury coupled with the necessity and opportunity to make up the game leads to the decision to skip it. Again, you don't agree, but I'm simply explaining it to you now for the third time in the simplest forms possible. If you still don't get it, then I don't know man. Tua was knocked out cold earlier in the season. head slammed to the ground. Not moving. Why was game not suspended? What do you know?

We have a game to play Actually that was just as traumatic for everyone and they didn't want to play either, until they found out he would surivive. From Malarchuk himself... Quote Back at the Aud, more than fifteen thousand fans, two teams and all the viewers at home still weren’t sure if I would survive. There were reports that two fans suffered heart attacks. At the very least, everyone had witnessed a scene they would never erase from their minds. The teams left the ice after the accident. The players were terrified. My teammate and close friend Grant Ledyard was freaking out -- he sobbed with his head in his hands in the Sabres' dressing room. No one wanted to play after that, but eventually the word came through that I'd live, so the game resumed. The players went back to the benches to finish the first period. My replacement, Jacques Cloutier, stood in the dark red crease and crouched as the puck dropped and the clock started ticking again -- 4:42 ... 4:41 ... He played in a pool of my blood and trembled through the rest of the game. Before returning to the Sabres' bench, Jim Pizzutelli went to change out of his stained clothes. He pulled off his shoes and realized his socks were soaked with my blood. On the bench, he stared forward blankly as the periods went on and thought about how close I'd been to death. An hour after the game, he sat in the trainer’s office and locked the door. He stayed there alone and refused to talk to anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 5,528 Posted January 4, 2023 Best wishes for the injured player but you gotta take him off the field, send in 'next man up' and finish the game. It's always been that way. What happened to Mike Utley and others seriously injured is tragic but get them the professional care they need. For teammates, the time to worry and check in are after the game is over. I don't see why they suspended the game. Is there a precedent for this? There sure is the other way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
