Dylan Holloway Stretchered Off Ice After Taking Puck To Neck

[@squidious1662]

Dylan is such a great kid, we miss him in Edmonton. Hope he's back on the ice soon!

[@scredemption]

We miss him on the oilers bad. Was a great addition

[@zacharyhoehn6127]

Amen

[@MaizeNBlue32]

Wishing you the best Dylan! 🙏

He was a very good player at Wisconsin the year Cole Caufield won the Hobey Baker Award in 2021.

[@DneilB007]

My guess is that he got a “burner” from the puck. A burner (aka “stinger”) is a nerve pinch injury, caused by impact, which causes either direct or indirect damage to a nerve cluster. The puck clearly hits Holloway in the brachial plexus (the hollow where the collarbone and the big muscles at the front of your neck meet). Either this caused damage to the nerve cluster, or swelling caused by the impact pinched the nerve cluster, causing tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness on the affected side. Standard procedure is to assume that the symptoms are caused by spinal cord damage until proven otherwise; since the trainer was focused on solely supporting Holloway’s neck until he got backup, I’d say that this is the most likely scenario.

@@URKlewlessI saw a guy get hit by a car, he got up and ran for 10 seconds before collapsing. Adrenaline is one hell of a thing.

@@roxanne1987r Hey Doctor! I got stage 3 Ohio rizz. I keep attracting puck bunnies in the 6-7 range at the Hockey rinks. Do you think you can prescribe me with something to get them pigeons away from me so I can watch Division C Beer League in peace? Thanks.

[@LS-uv9gg]

There's a super sensitive nerve cluster right behind the jaw bone/below the ear that may have been hit. This is not at all a pleasant experience. You can basically start to lose feeling in the whole side of your head/jaw similar to a nerve being pinched in your neck.

[@patton303]

My man got on the stretcher still holding his stick. Wow. What a gamer.

[@russell-di8js]

Best luck Dylan in getting better!

[@damianryan216]

Damn that's a real shame, I'm an Oilers fan and was really bummed out seeing him and Broberg go but I blamed management for that and was happy they lit it up and made their statement. It really sucks that they both got injured so early, wishing him the best.

[@MrJaredtheBear]

Scary situation. Glad the team and staff were aware enough so he got the attention he needed.

[@chrisforsythe4273]

thanks for sharing very scary best wishes

[@rickseiden1]

Look at the class of #11 on Tampa, doing what he can to get Wes' attention, and also how the Blues and Lightning players mix up a little bit as they are looking on with concern.

[@llkj7944]

I took a puck to the neck same way when I played junior, hit the artery, I was fine also for about 20 or 30 seconds until the swelling started, I went dizzy, sight started going weird and legs felt like they were lead. After all the tests, Doctor said it was due to swelling!

[@mitchweiner]

Scary to watch even in slow motion! Hope he’s okay!

[@Squishysforbreakfast]

Ouch. I hope it isn't very serious.

[@sainlovesluppi487]

Man with how quick they shoot those shots im surprised he stayed out there as long as he did.

[@morgangentle1515]

Jeee whiz , this is something no one ever wants to see , prayers to Dylan and family , hope he is ok god bless

[@pretzelhunt]

Pins and needles in extremities theyll be really careful, too.

[@drewkoslow7754]

So glad to read that he is stable and alert in the hospital. 🙏

[@SynysterDiablo]

Best wishes to Holloway.

[@WegotTheBOMB]

And still clears the zone. What a dog!!! Lets go Blues!!!

[@EmitRelevart]

The same thing happened to Anthony Stolarz tonight. He got a slap-shot puck right to the neck. I was surprised when he continued to play because it didn't ricochet off his shoulder like it appeared to do to Holloway, Stolarz took it full force straight to the neck (looked to be right in the jugular!). Hope Dylan is okay.

[@BLUESHOCKEY-w4y]

I was watching the game it was scary

[@HaydenYoshi]

please wear neck protectors 🙏

[@Baleygrr]

Hockey is a weird sport. Most Players don't wear neck guards and the visors on the helmets are kind of a joke. It only protects so little it's a miracle something very serious hasn't happened lately. Taking a hard slapshot to the face could in some scenarios kill someone. Probably a matter of time before it happens and then they wonder how could this happen.🤦

[@JohnnyInvestor]

May God heal him ! 🙏🏼

[@captsatch]

Reported a collarbone injury. Lucky it was not the throat.

[@safejewel2072]

First Broberg and now Holloway

[@tylerdurden4006]

Shades of pronger after a puck in the chest and collapsed on the way to the bench. It can take time...

Wow so scary, hope hes ok

Vagal Nerve Response. Looks worse than it is. Good to be cautious.

That’s a collar bone boys

[@penguin44ca]

Why was there even a question there was a penalty? Wtf

[@Leafsdude]

I'd assume the penalty was for something else entirely.

[@knganth3m]

Holloway, bad karma? We do miss him in Edmonton but damn a puck to the neck?! Ouch!!!! Get well soon, he seems ok

Get better buddy , then come back to oil country ❤

[@isaiahquinney]

Wear a neck guard?

[@dannyl-p1543]

He's conscious the whole way through?

[@janzkee]

looks like he was yes

[@trailerparkboyz245]

He was probably having trouble breathing because he got hit in the neck or collarbone so they wanted to be safe

[@dannyl-p1543]

@@trailerparkboyz245 yeah maybe it, better safe than sorry for sure, hope he's alright

[@papaburgundy4587]

I personally think it hit one of his arteries and he feels like he's going to faint or something. If it wasn't that serious they would have just taken him to the locker room but they're already at the hospital

[@zanewolf2067]

With injuries like this, trauma directly to the neck can cause your throat to close, doesn’t always happen instantly though, so he could have just started having breathing difficulties as he came back to the bench, definitely scary

[@olegevstigneev5367]

Бедняга.

[@elvisisalive2716]

what a bunch of stupid medical personnel. Hey dummy, stop chewing your gum, the first thing you do is lay him down you do NOT keep them upright. Did you goto Devry?

[@ratrodshaggy820]

Wrong. You stabilize the cervical spine in whatever position they're currently in. If there is a cervical spine injury, you dont move the person even an inch. At least until you get more information from the person and start to rule out cervical injury. Or just wait for the doctor to get there and do what the doctor says.

[@Hjkkgg6788]

These guys dont care

Shows just how medically literate you are (not at all)
