Hockey is a sport that is not meant for the weak at heart. And we aren't just talking about the players. If you're the least bit squeamish then you might want to turn you head for this.

Florida Panthers forward Richard Zednik took an inadvertent skate to the throat during yesterday's game against the Sabres, having to undergo major surgery as a result.

That is easily the most horrifying accident that can happen in professional sports and, frankly, we're surprised it doesn't happen more. But we're thankful it doesn't. In fact, once every 19 years is about all we can stomach to be quite honest.
