Every NHL team has to have an ENT in the arena for every game. Not sure if anyone could’ve save this poor guy however.This was a really tragic accident. I’m wondering if there’s much you could do in this situation to save a players life on the ice?
After death of player Adam Johnson, how dangerous is ice hockey?

The dentist can't do much acutely. Sabres staff has 3 Ortho and 3 sports med (including the med director) along with a dentist. No plastics, no EM.
Ah I thought the preds set up was standard league wide. My bad,
I have a good friend that was part of "Cell block 303"! 501 Broadway!
Direct pressure. The blood flow is 40% each carotid, and 10% each vertebral, so, plug one, there's still ~60% blood flow to the brain, so, you won't kill the person.
When Zednik got cut, he was taken to the local vascular center, about 5 minutes from the Arena, and his carotid was still attached by a thin bridge of tissue, so, the sx just grabbed the lower part with some forceps and repaired it. It didn't completely sever and regress into the thorax, so, they didn't have to go hunting. The vascular surgeon, whose name I forget, but recall is an Indian woman, said his life wasn't in danger. And, Zednik played again!

Where are you seeing this vid? The way you describe it is lurid. You are stating one player killed the other.
Is your experience that EMS generally knows how to control aggressive bleeding? It sure as hell isn't around me. Invariably I will get someone who comes in looking like a freaking mummy but is still bleeding. Once you take down the absurd amount of extraneous dressings and simply apply a small single bandage under appropriate pressure, the bleeding stops.
Chance of massive stroke probably better than definite death.
I saw it on Reddit somewhere. It seems like the player that cut him might have lost balance after hitting another player and thrown his leg up to balance himself. It was a pretty wild swing of his leg, however, and could see how someone might think that while he didn’t have an intent to kill, he might have had some less than innocent intent (like tripping).
I don't know what state you're in. I was EMS in NY, and from the get-go, bleeding control was emphasized. It's a station on the practical exam. When I got to residency in NC, I see your point.
Having been playing for 20+years, it's one of those things that's shocking when it happens and also shocking that it doesn't happen more often. As mentioned above, most goalies wear a neck guard +/- a dangler. Haven't seen video on this, Zednik's was a guy that got knocked head over heels and his blade came up like a backswing. Not sure how much a neck protector would interfere with a player's mobility, doubt it would get mandated in the NHL.
That's what they said about helmets, face shields, gloves, and face masks for goalies.
Yeah but they haven't mandated cages for NHL skaters and those would save significantly more serious injuries than neck guards for skaters.

Stepwise. Don Cherry said a lot of stuff, but, one thing was that the European players wore face shields more than North American players. It sounded like chauvinism, and insulting the European trained, it turned out to be true. That was around 2005 or so. In 2013, the face mask became mandatory, with players playing at that time being grandfathered (like Zdeno Chara). It was like Craig MacTavish being able to go without a helmet until he retired in 1997. The NHL mandated helmets in 1979, and Mac started just before that came down.
The linesmen could have applied direct pressure. But, I think you're right.
That's not a standard hockey play, FWIW. I doubt he meant to kill the guy but that collision could happen 10,000 more times and not result in him striking another player with his skate blade.Article with video embedded linked below.
Warning: It’s not for the faint of heart. Based on the amount of blood lost in the first 5 seconds, I don’t think anyone could have done anything for him.

Looks like the guy who cut Johnson was arrested for manslaughter.
I just saw that. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.
Maybe they will find another Montesquieu, and then we will find another Jefferson, Franklin, and Washington....
