from Michael Arace of the Columbus Dispatch,
...Which is to say this looked exactly like a suicide attempt, but there is no way to prove it.
Malarchuk, after resisting, ultimately accepted treatment and was hospitalized. He has since been discharged. His coaching career is in jeopardy and he has put the Jackets in an awful position. This gunshot will reverberate for days, months, years.
I should say, off the top, that Malarchuk is one of the most compelling and likable human beings I’ve met.

Get well, Clint, and get back.
Indeed. He was very much a fan favorite here in Las Vegas as there are countless sweaters with his name on it.
I think I speak on behalf of all of your Wranglers fans, Clint:
Get well, soon! We miss you on the ice.

this sounds like one of those moments that either ends in tragedy or with glory....hoping for the latter
