smozoma 189 Report post Posted March 22 Clint Malarchuk is the goalie who's neck was cut open by a skate in 1989. Since then he's had bad PTSD. (warning: main photo has some blood) https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/clint-malarchuk-bleeding-out Quote I know there might be a bullet in the rifle, but I press it against my chin anyway. I don’t care. (whoops, I thought he was in 94, but actually he retired after the 91-92 season) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lives in Minden, Nevada! Ex-wife lives about 3 houses up from me. Super nice lady. I've met him a couple times and he was a really good guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aqualizard 86 Report post Posted March 22 I don't really follow hockey. But I heard of Clint Malarchuk when I was a security guard, finishing university, in 1997 or so. I worked in a building that had a film company on the top floor. A guy came to see the head honcho of the film company, to pitch a film idea, but insisted on taking the stairs instead of the elevator even though it was over 20 stories up! I decided to walk with him. That is when he told me that he was afraid of elevators, as well as having a million other phobias. All as of result of a traumatic experience, he didn't want to go into. He said it was like Clint Malarchuk. I said who?, and he told me the story. According to him, after the incident, Clint Malarchuk had a bunch of mental issues, just like him. I filed that piece of trivia away, in case it ever came up again. Along came the internet, some time afterward, and I was able to watch the youtube video (not that gory because of the horrible quality), and read about Malarchuk's wikipedia write-up. Last night I was watching a video on Lawrence Taylor, and they were about to show the infamous Joe Theisman hit. I paused it. That is one gory scene I have never seen and do not intend to watch. I have bookmarked the article Smozoma shared to read later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skip 77 Report post Posted March 23 I remember that play when it happened, and I still worry when you see guys go down in the corner with 3 other guys there, or a goalie in the crease with a huge scrum for a loose puck. This whole story though, wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Kudelski 46 Report post Posted March 25 I read his book that came out about three years ago. Its very similar to Fleury’s book. It’s worth a read if you enjoy the 80s and 90s hockey nostalgia. (Which you do.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
