Skate blade comes inches away from hitting Brad Marchand's throat
In the latest face-off between the Boston Bruins and the Pittsburgh Penguins, Brad Marchand narrowly avoided a potentially catastrophic incident involving a skate blade.
With concerns rising this season about the dangers of skate injuries, Marchand's close call brought the issue sharply into focus.
As he collided with Michael Bunting, a tense moment ensued as Bunting's skate blade soared dangerously close to Marchand's face/neck.
This is insane. I'm rattled man.
Fortunately, both players emerged unscathed. However, this near-miss underscores the pressing need for enhanced player safety measures, reigniting discussions about the possible introduction of neck guards in the NHL.
