Cam Ward Cut By Rick Nash’s Skate
Updated 4 months, 1 week ago

November 8, 2009 – Dr. Rush
One of the scariest things in hockey is the possibility of being cut by a skate of an opposing player. Especially for goalies who are often the closest to the diving and flopping players near the net. Carolina goaltender Cam Ward was taken to the hospital after his leg was cut by a skate during the first period of the Hurricanes’ game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night. I’m sure Rick Nash feels awful about it, but it was totally ...

[...] Cam Ward cut by skate,out a month [The Puck Doctors] [...]
It is good that he is okay
Ser portero de hockey sobre hielo es de alto riesgo O_O http://is.gd/4QXXk
ad news for Cam Ward! Second major incident in less than two years! http://bit.ly/1uHGxy
Fuck, he's on my fantasy team. Hopefully he's ok.
loody annoying commentary.
The Malarchuk cut makes me cringe everytime I see it. I hope Ward can get back to shape soon, carolina needs him.
I sure hope the dude is okay and can recover to continue playing the sport he loved.
I suppose every sport has some level of risk involved, you could count up the ways a player risks serious injury or even death in just about every sport and be surprised even when weighing the odds how high the probability can still be. With hockey we can spare no exception, it should seem obvious you know

Yo Cam Ward Ima let you finish, but Clint Malarchuck had one of the best cuts of all time!
They didn't mention Richard Zednik? Happened Feb 08.

Sports 'Centre'? Heh.
Didn't notice. Looked it up and it is the Canadian version.

It was a lacerated muscle in his left thigh. He has already undergone surgery, but is expected to be out for a "fairly long period of time" according to their GM.
Was watching Sportscentre tonight, they said he'll be out an estimated 4-6 weeks.
As scary as that can be I still love me some hockey!
They should make helmets that cover the neck.
There are actually two devices you can use. One is a plastic shield that pretty much zip ties to the cage and hangs below it. The other is kind of like a forehead sweat band but it's thick, filled with gel, and it goes around your neck.
They aren't very popular though. Most guys just count on their awareness to keep them out of trouble. That works most of the time but not always.
they have the plastic addition at the bottom on some, or the wrap around pads.
just imagine playing back in the beginning when they didnt even wear helmets

yeah! this story has entered the popular today section on popurls.com…
Yo Cam, I know you got cut and all, and imma let you finish, but Richard Zednick had the best throat slice of all time.
Matteao go FU*K yourseld
I remember the Malarchuk incident. I was so scared that he was going to die. I think eveyone was.
that picture is extremely disturbing
North Carolina (Reuters) - Carolina Hurricanes netminder Cam Ward will be out for a minimum of three to four weeks after his left upper leg was lacerated by an opponent's skate on Saturday, the NHL team said on Sunday.
Get better soon.
Ah man I thought a goalie's helmet cam got smashed or something.
Scary moment for Cam Ward, especially with his confusion about where he was cut. I'm sure he thought the worst, and by worst I don't mean the femoral artery, but the Cam Ward Family Jewels.
Get well soon, buddy.
I think he knew it was his thigh, that's why he didn't want to move at all.
I know the typical stereotype of hockey players is hard ass and cocky and I am sure the player who caused the injury kept on playing. However, if I caused that injury(even though it was an accident) I am not sure I would be able to jump right back into the game.
Wasn't Nash's fault. Injuries happen, and someone getting cut -especially a goalie- is merely a freak accident.
I had this happen to me when I played, player drove the net and actually cut my back with his skate somehow... It is a very shitty thing to happen and part of the reason I think this running the goalie shit needs to be fixed.
Thanks Bettman, you dick.
He was going past the goalie and was being pressured by two players and his skate just barely clipped him.
Don't make this out to be some crazy "Running the goalie" situation.
I don't know if you've watched any of this season but there has been a shit tonne of running the goalie going on, I'm not talking specifically about this video, it was in no way the players fault.
Well maybe he running the goalie?
No one really knows the exact injury it seems, but but it looks like the upwards motion of Rick Nash's right skate mid-fall gets Ward's left thigh pretty good.
I'm a goalie myself, and I cringe every time I see these videos. The fact that Ward just froze and sat there meant he was pretty freaked out by it happening, usually players try to get to the bench or yell for a ref.
Get better, Wardo. Carolina will only get better with your return.

Thank God it was nothing close to the Malarchuk incident, that accident was probably one of the most disturbing Ive seen in hockey. Ward is a really good goalie and needed some time to get his game back together, this injury is such a shame as it will take him tons of time to come back, the Canes will deeply feel the effect. Glad to hear he's okay though, that's the main thing after all is said and ... See all content
Don't forget Richard Zednik's carotid artery cut by a skate last year. What was pretty horrible to watch as well.
I'd never seen the Malarchuk video...I have to say that was pretty disturbing and is probably going to be etched in my memory for awhile.
That was an unfortunate injury, and certainly not anything you would want to happen to anyone. But it also wasn't quite on the level of Malarchuk...
I had never seen the second video (another goalkeeper's throat cut) that is way too scary
I'd never seen that either. I didn't read the description properly and I thought it would be another leg cut like the one above and almost fainted when I saw it. I can't beleive he survived that.
I remember the Malarchuk injury. Let me rephrase.. I'll never forget the Malarchuk injury.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Malarchuk
From the link: "Malarchuk's life was saved by Pizzutelli, a former army medic who had served in Vietnam. He reached into Malarchuk's neck and pinched off the bleeding, not letting go until doctors arrived to begin suturing the wound."
That's

Imagine how he felt for the 5 seconds where no one saw that he was hurt. The two team were fighting behind the net and he was losing all his blood powerless. It all happened so fast...
