"Still, Malarchuk came within minutes of becoming only the second on-ice fatality in NHL history (the first, and thus far only, was Bill Masterton)."

Well, according to Masterton's page he didn't die on the ice he died 2 days later as a result. Contradiction here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.59.85.183 (talk) 03:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


Can someone with an account please add this image of the player/injury in question: http://tinypic.com/dfueeb.jpg


I'm a goaltender myself, and possibly people reading this are. We don't really need a horrific image like that since young goalies and young persons may see it. And, Yes I have seen the video, can't link to that or the picture... Brak710101 21:14, 22 November 2005 (UTC)


Considering that wikipedia has links to a very grotesque site in regards to an Westerner being beheaded this is a gross inconsistency to block a link to this hockey video . Also for safety reasons, it may be a strong tool to see this video to deter people from not wearing safety mechanisms. I've tried very hard to find a video of it and can't!

I'm new to submitting info and not a good writer. This player also had a very close call with death when he mixed alcohol with a medication. Also, I heard that at least one (possibly 3) persons had a heart attack in the crowd and that several of his teammates and/or opponents vomited. --germankcc@yahoo.com

The video is easy to find on YouTube [1]. I would not be opposed to linking to the YouTube video in the external links section, with a warning about graphic content. Including the still in the article would be waaaaaay over the top, though. --13.12.254.82 23:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I added a youtube link to the video of the accident on 24 Feb, the change was removed 4 minutes later by someone citing WP:YOUTUBE. On reviewing the policy on youtube links the policy is clear that there is no blanket ban on linking to youtube in extended links. Youtube/google video appear on the links to avoid list because video links often break the guidelines on the external links page. If WP:EL (on which WP:YOUTUBE appears) is to be used as an excuse to revert my edit, a mention to a specific policy the video breaks should be made, not a caution list. Link to be re-added.Pissedpat (talk) 05:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nationalities

I changed "Albertan" back to "Canadian". It's highly unusual to refer to a state or province as a "nationality" unless that province is substantially distinct from the rest of the nation (Tibet, for example). I know I wouldn't refer to myself as "New Jerseyan". ;) Thunderbunny 06:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation

Half of this article seems to be on this site http://www.cyberscumbag.com/malarchuk.htm also. If this comes from there the article needs changing.

I'm pretty sure the text on that page came from Wikipedia, not the other way around. I know this because I started the article myself and came up with most of the text independently, and I am 100% sure I've never seen this external site before. Thunderbunny 01:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carotid or jugular?

This article claims the injury was to his 'interior carotid artery'. But the articles linked here say it was his jugular vein, which is not the same thing. Is there any good source for 'carotid artery'? --210.10.133.116 08:12, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

It was the carotid. The jugular does not spray that much blood due to the lower pressure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.188.245.87 (talk) 00:43, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 15:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC) The pressure in the internal jugular vein is much lower than the carotid artery, however its much greater diameter accounts for such a larger volume of blood being lost in a short period of time (see "Hagen-Poiseuille equation"). The jugular veing is the vessel that was injured in Malarchuk's case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crna82002 (talk • contribs) 18:58, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Players Vomiting?

I've watched the YouTube video several times, and I personally see no evidence that any player vomited on the ice. However, the video is cited after that statement in the article. I'd appreciate it if someone could either point out to me where this occurs, or change the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.37.225.201 (talk) 00:14, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Richard Zednik's injury

can we add a little mention of Richard Zednik's near death injury that happened when Olli Jokinen accidentally cut Zednik's neck similar to Malarchuk's injury in 1989.--Boutitbenza 69 9 (talk) 01:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
