Richard Zednik could have died Sunday night in Buffalo.
And still the game went on.

Richard Zednik of the Florida Panthers was badly cut Sunday night when his neck was sliced by a skate blade during a game against the Buffalo Sabres.
Midway through the third period, linemate Olli Jokinen was being checked and as he flew forward, his skate blade accidently slashed the neck of Zednik.
The reports of NHL hockey's demise in south Florida are not exaggerated.
Forgive my nod to Mark Twain, but when the Florida Panthers live stream their morning skate you know the end is near.
I guess it's appropriate that this took place on Halloween. Oooh, scary kids! See Nathan Horton spit and swear! Scream in horror as coach Jacques Martin critiques the powerplay!
