from Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News,
Richard Zednik barely felt the skate slice into his throat, but the blood that immediately gushed from his neck gave him all the information he needed. He knew he was in grave danger if he didn’t skate to the Florida Panthers’ bench. He was well aware he could be facing death.
“I knew I was in trouble,” Zednik said Friday before leaving the Mansion on Delaware, where he spent Thursday night after being discharged from Buffalo General Hospital, and flying back to Florida. “I didn’t feel anything, but there was just so much blood. I was like, ‘Whoa.’ I knew I had to get to the bench.”

One look at the photo of him with his wife and you know he’s got a lot to live for. I’d skate to the bench with my carotid artery severed too.

It’s really awesome to see he’s doing so well! I’m glad he pulled through.

Man! Even in recovery, that scar on Zednik’s neck looks gruesome.
Good to see he’s doing well. Too bad we may not see him play for the rest of the season. It’s more important for him to be in recovery.
