The article indicates at the start of the third paragraph that Masterton was the first NHL player to ever die of game-sustained injuries. Two sentences later, it says he was the first in 40 years. Which is it? QuinnHK 07:44, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Jiri fischer almost did. Zholtok did die, but that was in latvia if im not mistaken. i think there is one more player that had a heart problem tho im not too sure.--SniperSarge 05:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Howie Morenz died in 1937 of injuries suffered during a game. The article should be changed to reflect that. (Strike that, sorry.)

"Doctors were prevented from doing surgery." Don't understand this sentence. Drella Melmoth 04:34, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
