Miracles do happen..

For those hockey fans out there...you should have already heard about this.



"Zednik was cut during the third period Sunday in Buffalo when Panther captain Olli Jokinen was upended and his skate swung up, hitting Zednik in the right side of the neck, nearly severing his carotid artery. He underwent emergency surgery and required five units of blood, and is recovering in a hospital. The accident happened almost 20 years after Sabres goaltender Clint Malarchuk severed his jugular vein when an opposing player's skate clipped him. He also recovered." - msnbc

This yet again proves the need to embrace life to the fullest. Say the things you want to say; don't hesitate. Zednik is lucky to still be alive; scratch that..he's BLESSED to be alive. This situation goes to show that it was definitely NOT his time to go. The possiblity of this injury occuring is so small; yet it does happen. I think that is definitely an eye opener for all those hockey players and their families.

I found out about this right after I left the STARS hockey game on Monday. I pray that no one has to go through this again. But I thank God for keeping Zednik safe!!
