”Can you have me back for the third period?”
On this date in 1989, goaltender Clint Malarchuk miraculously survives a goal-crease collision that leaves his jugular vein sliced open by a skate.
The excessive amount of blood that Malarchuk lost caused eleven fans to faint, two more to have heart attacks, and three players to vomit on the ice.
"All I wanted to do was get off the ice", said Malarchuk. "My mother was watching the game on TV, and I didn't want her to see me die."
Aware that his mother had been watching the game on TV, he had an equipment manager call and tell her he loved her.
Then he asked for a priest.
Malarchuk's life was saved due to quick action by the Sabres' athletic trainer, Jim Pizzutelli, a former US Army combat medic who served in the Vietnam War. He gripped Malarchuk's neck and pinched off the blood vessel, not letting go until doctors arrived to begin stabilizing the wound.
As the ambulance raced toward the hospital, Malarchuk asked paramedics, ”Can you have me back for the third period?”
Malarchuk lost 1.5 litres of blood. It took doctors a total of 300 stitches to close the six-inch wound.


He was back on the ice in ten days.
