There was a lot of ugly in the Colorado Avalanche‘s 5-1 loss
at home to the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night, but nothing more gruesome
than this: Defenseman Ryan O’Byrne getting his mouth sliced open by the skate
of Taylor Hall during the first period.
Nothing too bloody here, but also not for the squeamish:
Hard to tell from that video, but O’Bryne actually finished
his shift after getting cut by the skate blade. Because he’s a hockey player.
Bleeding
badly from the cut, O’Byrne nevertheless managed to skate off the ice and was
escorted into the locker room for initial treatment before being taken to a
nearby hospital."He
suffered a bad cut on his face," Colorado coach Joe Sacco said. "They had to
take him to get sewn up. Anytime a skate gets near the face, it’s always
dangerous and scary. I’ll know more tomorrow … I’m sure he’ll be fine at the
end of the day."
If only the Avalanche were so easily fixed, having now lost
13 of their last 15 games. Both wins came against the St. Louis Blues. They don’t
see them again until April 5.
