troutman Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 That sucks what else can keep the leafs from ever winning the Stanley Cup again. The rest of the team will just have to suck it up and try to stay in contention until he returns. Get well soon Mats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drumnut Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 This is scary stuff to see happen live, I saw and heard Kevin Kaminski take a slap shot from Petr Neved sitting 3 rows from the glass as he describes here: QUOTE FD-Talk about the injury from the Nedved shot. KK-The injury from Nedved's shot was scarey. We were on the power play when I was coming out of the corner, I passed the puck to Petr on the point, and I went to the net for a screen on the goalie or a tip-in. I was at the hashmarks when he let the shot go from the top of the circles and I just couldn't get out of the way (60-65 mph). It hit me in the side of my face, still conscious, all I saw was black out of the right eye and I got really nervous. After about 10 minutes on the ice they took me off and into the ambulance I went...they took x-rays and after about an hour FINALLY gave me some pain killers...my head felt like it was going to explode. They told me I had broken my orbital bone and zygmatic arch and they needed to do surgery. They made incisions over my eye and under my eye and also went in through my mouth into the sinus cavity to clear out any bone fragments, and put in 2 titanium plates, 12 screws, and 45 stitches. It has been tough, and I still haven't regained my vision. I am going to specialists hoping to get it resolved. Only time will tell. It was definitely the worst thing I've been through. One doctor said 1/8 of an inch higher and I would have been dead. Shit, I always said they'd have to kill me to get me to quit playing..but I was kidding... Link Injuries are part of playing any sport but some can be life threatening. Best wishes on a speedy recovery to Mats Sundin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
