The WORST Injury For All 32 NHL Teams

[@gwynbliedd_]

Considering what just happened with Adam Johnson, can we take another minute to appreciate James Pizzutelli and his actions with Malarchuck

[@soccerndog3785]

Malarchuk even said that because of how Pizzutelli reacted and with his war experience of being a medic he’s so grateful that Pizzutelli gave him a chance to live. And also agreed that what happened to Adam was indeed a freak accident.

Gotta say I think Lemieux's back injury was worse than Crosby's injury. Missing a bunch of games that season and then having back surgery the next season in the middle of his prime when he was competing for the title of GOAT with Gretzky was devastating. I know it's hard making these lists though so no hate, good job with the video!

[@GameShowMike]

After Crosby’s first concussion, Evgeni Malkin tore his ACL and MCL which ended his season. But the Penguins had plenty of depth in Wilkes Barre that kept the Penguins competitive and helped them reach the playoffs. Then-coach Dan Bylsma won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s coach of the year for his efforts.

[@markastoforoff7838]

For Dallas who at the time was Minnesota you should have used Bill Masterton. I think a person dying because of injuries is probably the worst injury one can suffer. "William Masterton (August 13, 1938 - January 15, 1968) was a Canadian American professional ice hockey centre who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Minnesota North Stars in 1967-68. He is the only player in NHL history to die as a direct result of injuries suffered during a game, the result of massive head injuries suffered following a hit during a January 13, 1968 contest against the Oakland Seals." - Wikipedia

[@dallasstarsdm]

This, or when Rich Peverley went into cardiac arrest on the bench

[@Corgnito]

I was trying to think of what team this was for and was expecting it to be included in this video, being the only death coming from in game injuries for the NHL. It's baffling that helmets weren't mandatory for over a decade after that incident, and despite two players nearly dying from having their throats cut there's still no requirement for neck protection.

If you are going to include Yuri Fischer having a cardiac event then you need to include Rich Peverley and his cardiac event during the Dallas Stars game against the Blue Jackets. Peverley had to be shocked 3 times with the AED to get his heart working again. Let's not forget Phillipe Boucher having his orbital bones crushed from a slapshot.

[@SaskStarsFan]

[@pontusbackman1863]

Not to mention Bouwmeester

[@dfp_01]

The Blues have two: Pronger and Bouwmeester

[@BloggerMusicMan]

I like the idea for this video. A new hockey fan would learn things from this. I have some thoughts about some of these teams though. Rich Peverley is a candidate for worst injury in Dallas Stars' history. It's a similar situation to Fischer, but his career was done and he nearly died. Bill Masterton is also an obvious pick for the Dallas/Minnesota franchise (you used a Hartford example for Carolina). The worst injury by far in Canadiens' history was Trent McCleary getting a puck to the throat. He very nearly died and he couldn't get the air intake he needed to continue playing, so it ended his career. For the Devils, I would say Scott Niedermayer getting elbowed by Tie Domi is a big contender. For the Senators, the Brannstrom one was disturbing, but in terms of impact, Erik Karlsson getting his Achilles severed by Matt Cooke's skate was a far stranger and more severe injury. For the Leafs, the Berard one is a good choice, but Ace Bailey was nearly killed by Eddie Shore as well.

I think this is the worst injury for a Toronto Maple Leafs player. In Boston Garden on December 12, 1933, Shore ended the career of Toronto Maple Leafs star Ace Bailey when he hit Bailey from behind. When Bailey's head hit the ice, he was knocked unconscious and went into convulsions. Bailey was rushed to the hospital in critical condition with a fractured skull and was operated on for more than four hours. There were many fears that he could possibly die. He came out of a coma for the second time 10 days later, making a full recovery, but he did not play professionally again.

[@munkustrap2]

Yeah, I'm going with this injury too. If we're going into the WABAC machine for Ted Green we should've gone for Ace too.

[@hideouslyhilarious]

I'm pretty sure Kevin Stevens breaking most of the bones in his face which ended up completely derailing his promising career is the worst Penguins injury.

[@mister_floppy_hockeyhighlights]

Its between the daniel brashear incident and the manny malhotra incident for me when you talk about Canucks worst injuries.

I had forgotten, how is beyond me, Ted Green. I expected the Bruin's injury to be Marc Savard's concussion from a hit by Penguin's Matt Cooke. The hit, & everything from after it (post-concussion syndrome etc), were a large part of the reason why the NHL created a new rule that gave stiffer penalties for blindside hits.

[@Richard-c5w]

As far as for the Habs the Pacioretty one was bad but the McCleary one should have been in that spot where the guy literally almost died from a puck in the throaty and needed a emergency tracheostomy to save his life.

As a 9 year old when I saw blood my first instinct was to cry, but now that I think about it I don’t think it really hurt that bad because I only noticed it when my friend brought it up. Obviously those skates weren’t too sharp like NHL Skates, but I can’t imagine getting part of your finger cut off by those really sharp blades.

Consider brannstrom made it back within a few weeks I don't think that counts towards the sens worst injury, yeah it looked bad but there are a lot worse that the sens have had. I would say Sabourins was worse than Brannstroms. But if you're looking at severity of injury then I'd say Erik Karlsson had it the worst. Completely changed how he played the game. Anders Nilssons career was ended by a concussion. Marc Methot had the tip of his finger chopped off by Crosby. I could go on

[@shaungray11]

I kinda disagree with WPG it should have been Brian Little who took a slapshot to the face or just recently Morgan Barron who got cut by a skate and had to get 75 stitch’s. Btw Little’s injury ended his career and Barrons injury made him where a cage and continue the game

[@oddity4all2see]

Perundovichs situation reminds me of 3 recent flyers situations..wade Allison has so much potential but continues to battle through injuries now in ahl. Sad because I really really liked him. Sam Moran is the other. He was a Swiss army knife and could play any position. If I'm not mistaken he came up as a dman and pushed forward as a winger. His career ended too short. Lastly, Nolan Patrick. He was 2nd overall and plagued by concussions. I believe we could've had heiskanen. Peterson, makar..still hurts. It's really sad seeing dreams shattered. Like these players, the only thing they know is hockey and to take that away from them must be so very difficult.

When it comes to gruesome injuries, Roenick's busted jaw while playing for Phoenix comes to mind. After taking a slash that broke his thumb he immediately took an elbow to the face. He skated to the bench and moved pieces of his jaw around by pulling on his teeth. A spectator behind the bench saw this and fainted. He played the next 3 minutes after telling his trainer that he needed to be on the ice for the 5 on 3. Took another check to the head (said with every hit he could hear and feel the bones shifting around) and finally agreed to go to the hospital. While waiting for the doctor to check out his jaw he saw someone get wheeled by that got in a car accident and his leg was severed. At that point Jeremy's jaw hurt a lot less. Doc said they could fix his jaw, but he'd have to stay there for 3 days. He decided to go back to Chicago for his surgery because he didn't want to spend another second in Dallas.

Yeah this is hard to watch especially if a player you really love gets hurt like this

Worst injury for Vegas was Nolan Patrick when he was hit by Nathan Mackinnon

[@elxiyrl9747]

My guesses before: -Clint Malarchuck (easy) -Richard Zednick (same as Clint) -Ian Lapreair Puck to the face -Marian Hosa giving someone a high stick to the eye (forget the player)

Worse injury I’ve seen was in bandits hockey league, my teammate was tripped and the stick got stuck on the skate, he fell in a weird way and slid into the opposing teams goal while doing a split. He tore both of his groans and was bleeding through his pants and socks. I was on the bench and all I heard was just screaming

I remember that Pavs injury very well and even as a fan, I agree it was a bad call. It wasn’t even a cross check, it was actually an accident, his skate got caught up with the knights stick and was lifted up to go after the puck sweeping his leg. That’s why they have replays are able to recall previous penalties now. You could see it clearly in slow motion that knights actually didn’t draw a penalty. Then they would end up losing that series on the brink of eliminating the Sharks 😂.
