On the heels of Adam Johnson’s tragic death, an NHL player just suffered a skate-related injury.
If you stop and think about it, the game of ice hockey seems a bit dangerous. A dozen grown men put boots with sharp metal blades on the bottom of them – and proceed to spend an hour using long sticks to whack a rubber object into a net.
It’s no surprise that players can suffer any variety of injuries along the way. Some are unlucky situations, some are freak accidents, and some are malicious.
The Edmonton Oilers are no stranger to this. Almost one year ago Evander Kane suffered a cut wrist that limited him to just 41 games played.
