As most of us know, Richard Zednik had his throat cut by team mate Jokinen as he was tripped by a Buffalo Player. He is going to be okay, and had successful surgery, GET WELL SOON!

Don't worry richard is fine...the injury is kind of his fault ...he was very close to Jokinen if he was farther back the injury would not have happened. Richard is out of the hospital and should have played there last game....if there was a last game.

I hate to sound like I scolding anyone but this post was made last week in the Panthers section.

Also, how can it be said that its Zedniks fault for being to close?  Hockey is a contact sport.  It was just a freak accident and the blame falls on no-one.

One more thing - Richard will be out for 5-6 more weeks. So he may be out for the rest of the season if the Cats don't make the playoffs.

I am closing this thread.
