Slafkovsky’s Shocking Wake-Up Call: What Nearly Derailed His Canadiens Journey?
On Tuesday night, Montreal Canadiens power forward Juraj
Slafkovsky took former teammate Christian Dvorak’s skate to the face and
suffered a cut to the face in the game against the Philadelphia Flyers. As a result, he missed most of the second period
while he was being attended to.
On Thursday, at the Canadiens’ morning skate, the young
Slovak was wearing a full cage and a neck protector. One could have thought he
had been scared straight since the incident with Dvorak could have had much
more serious consequences if the blade had caught him lower. Who doesn’t
remember Clint Malarchuk or Richard Zednick being cut to the neck in the NHL
or, more recently, Adam Johnson tragically dying in a Challenge Cup match
between the Sheffield Steelers and the Nottingham Panthers in England?
