Dylan Holloway addresses media after injury scare

[@kylemurphy4600]

“Saw the 2 on 1” lol what a beauty. A true hockey player. Glad this ended in a minor injury and he’ll be back soon. Credit to the staff to get him out of there so quickly

[@MachineGunJanmark]

He was one of the kids I wanted the Oilers to have long term, a good Alberta Bot that doesn't cheat the game, finished his shift and wanted game updates from the Hospital 👊

[@Thathockeyplayer497]

Me too man, me too. So sad he signed the offer sheet.

[@amandastufflebean8937]

Im so glad hes ok.

[@Noledad77]

Glad he's ok. What a warrior, playing out the 2-on-1. You could tell when he was sitting on the bench that he was in la-la land. Wishing this kid the best of luck!

[@joerosier6059]

So thankful he is OK!!!! I love this kid's energy. I think he is going to wind up being a valuable asset to the Blues.

[@JustinThomas-qt9hv]

This kid is incredibly likeable and a real warrior on the ice. Never seen him take a shift off. These are the kind of guys you want wearing the bluenote crest for a long time.

[@tankandsnook]

Great news, glad he's okay.

[@willharms4581]

Blacking out is scary speaking from experience. I got in a wreck a year and a half ago and was hit by a car while looking for a spare tire. I blacked out on the ground on the side of the highway with severe head trauma and next thing I know my dad is there screaming at people to slow down before being loaded up into an ambulance. I don’t remember being in the ER much but I remember throwing up in the elevator afterwards and then I was in the ICU for 3 days. I’m honestly just thankful to be alive and I’m also glad that Dylan’s injury wasn’t as bad as mine. It’s good to see that he’s doing better and possibly ready to play in the next game ❤

[@CastisV]

thank goodness he's okay, and it wasn't serious! Hopefully he's back when he's ready.

[@johnpark7846]

glad he's OK - as an Oilers fan, I"m sad that we didn't match the offer sheet.

[@bramstedt8997]

Former NHLer Jamie Rivers, who does color commentary for Blues tv, said everyone in Edmonton’s front office should be fired and never work in the NHL again for allowing Broberg and Holloway to be stolen.

[@johnpark7846]

@@bramstedt8997 🤣 no disagreeement here - I still can't believe we hired bowman. Fat chance the oilers will repeat last season's run.

[@MichaelFischetti]

Glad to hear that he's OK!!

[@firstcrust1]

This was so scary. You could hear a pin drop. No one knew what was going on, but I was thankful the announcer updated us later in the game.

[@bernardomontesdeoca130]

His UFC comparison is the most precise explanation. Guy had the worst of luck for a second, then the best of luck after that.

[@alm4132]

Yes. He called it a "Chokehold" but it is actually a carotid restraint hold. Restricts blood flow to the brain AND over-stimulates the Vegas nerve causing confusion and unconsciousness. Hence the term "Sleeper" hold.

[@foolmenow00]

Wow as he's one of my fav new players! I couldn't believe it when I turned on game and heard about it. This dude is sneaky good and will be a Blue Baller for a while.

[@videogameplayer0552]

Glad he’s ok, he seems like a very likable guy. This type of injury is one of my biggest fears as a hockey player, but we all take risks when we step on the ice.

[@matthewkapfer2464]

I hope his mental health is ok after that, it can be tough to get past a scary medical event like that.

[@jeffgerst3619]

He’s got a hockey player mentality. He’s going to be just fine

this is NHL not soccer

Stay well, Dylan!

[@Nogoingback424]

Great news! Big fan of his. Glad he is ok.

[@moemanncann895]

Really glad to see this video, puts in perspective what’s really important in this game, hope he lights it up for the Blues this season, just flying up and down the ice for the Oil in the playoffs last season with some highlight goals

[@russell-di8js]

Great to hear the lad is feeling ok, he looked pale & whoozey there on the bench. All the best Dylan in going forward.

[@therealgod-g2r]

Blues have a stud here. Good player and handles himself with the media very well.

[@officialuuc8688]

wished Edmonton kept Hollywood 😭

[@landonmurphy6846]

Happy he’s back very scary incident

[@ThunderFalcon333]

Glad you are good

[@tomsloger4073]

Glad that Dylan is OK ! That was one of the craziest things that I have seen.

[@bruce8321]

He seems to meek to be a hockey player. That said he also seems like a hell of a great guy.

[@ToymakersToolbox]

Seeing Ray Barile clear the bench and lay him down like that with his head isolated... especially as confused as everything was on the ice at that moment. I think, like everyone, we were flashing back to the Bouwmeester incident and were afraid we'd see history repeat itself. I'm really glad he's okay and will be able to come back.

[@michaelrevelle2229]

Glad he's ok!!! It was scary to watch live.

[@shscjs3]

That was scary! Glad he's alright!

[@jrlikeshockeyandmetal]

I’m so glad he is okay ❤

[@Adjusxt]

Hope u recover that was bad luck your a good player come back strong

[@charlesharrington3890]

Take an extra couple of days off, make sure you're good, then get back to it. Tough kid, he has a huge future ahead of him.

[@rustysalmonella7681]

The vagus nerve causes you to faint under extreme stress so you don’t have to experience suffering. Actually quite a merciful function

[@jeffgerst3619]

All I can say is Edmonton screwed up royally.

[@skylarkhyrsta6129]

not a blues fan but holy hell glad hes ok and can laugh about it!

[@DakotaSero-b7c]

I am so glad that Dylan Holloway is ok just praying though he is a true blues fan and he is tuff guy to when it comes to sports and other stuff

[@ChangLRC]

Not sure if a neck guard would help with this, but personally I think neck guards should be mandatory like mouth guards, it's a very venerable part of your body!

[@J-Force89]

Glad Holloway is okay 🙏 he’s a great player and a cool guy.

[@kennybegeske8824]

I Hope He's Plays At Winter Classic

[@gdon2897]

Good to see you're all good. Would you consider some type of low profile neck protection? Kind of a freak accident though right, glad you're okay pal.

[@PeteNice29]

Now that he describes it it makes sense. My concern was a small tear in an artery.

[@twillison8824]

He might not be an oiler anymore, but it's great to see he's ok.

[@joe-vl3nd]

The Blue Boys are Tough Lets go Blues

[@taxninja2519]

Phew, great I'm glad he's ok.

Good stuff 👏

[@tonychen3368]

Holy crap I can see that rash, that rash was from that puck hitting his neck.

[@slushybelt8663]

Edmonton is so screwed up now,i miss this guy and other's

[@davidromano1348]

Glad hes ok.

[@DerektheMotorider]

Interesting case of vasovagal syncope. I guess he had enough sympathetic response to get through his shift until he got to the bench and the parasympathetics took over

[@nicotti]

Yeah! The Brian Sutterer MD channel covered this and said that's a common thing to happen with a blow to the carotid artery cause there are baroreceptors located there. The pressure spike from the puck hit could cause them to tell the body to constrict blood flow.

[@Aerobane]

Look who knows how to google.

[@Wattupaworkin]

Glad your ok Hollywood :)

[@happycanayjian1582]

So sad when he left for the Blues. Wish him the best going forward, tho.

[@knightsgaming8983]

wild thing to ask for a picture

[@Aerobane]

It's the blues beat writer, he's probably including it in an article....

[@JakeJohnston-t9o]

Anthony Richardson wouldn’t have cared about a 2 on 1!!! Glad Dylan is ok

[@bobbowie9350]

So glad he's ok . We dont need anymore horrific newels in the hockey world😢

[@torritor4954]

The puck must of hit the baroreceptors in his Carotid artery, caused immediate drop in blood pressure and causing slow heart rate, similar to a Choke hold

[@elgreatbambino]

What a stupid question "is this something that could have been avoided if you were wearing a neck guard?" I told you so energy

[@nasde467]

Yup, such a stupid hindsighted comment.

There’s his bad karma for leaving Edmonton like that, let’s just hope he stays off the ice for two years

The only player in the NHL is Connor garland started wearing a neck guard after that European hockey player got slashed with the skate blade

[@animatedastronaut8967]

Hi from Edmonton Dylan. Kind of scary for sure. 😲😲Good to know you're going to be good to go in a day or two. 👍🏒🏒

[@1999zrx1100]

I was at the game in 2000 when Trent McCleary of the Montreal Canadians got a slap shot in the throat. Still remember the sound, he almost died that night. Never played again, medical staff at these games are life savers. These athletes sure deserve the money they are paid. 🫡
