hf101 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 This was mentioned in the shoutbox. Phantoms lost left wing Eric Wellwood to a severe lower leg injury Sunday.Wellwood fell into the boards on a penalty kill and caught the back of his right leg with his own skate, cutting tendons. He skated to the bench, then off the ice with the trainer while the puck was still in play, leaving a trail of blood. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for surgery.“They’ll obviously close up the wound with the vascular injury and he’ll have surgery again (Monday) morning if there’s any need to have surgery pertaining to the tendons,” head coach Terry Murray said in a phone interview. “I don’t think anyone really saw it. It was away from the play. In conversation, everyone figures it was an accident that happened to himself. The play was already in the offensive zone and this happened in the neutral zone, so we’re not sure exactly what took place.”Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH1FlyersFan Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 What the heck!? Even the Phantoms can't catch a break as the bizarre injury parade continues. I hate seeing this kind of stuff. Poor kid. But man he must be tough. If I believed in such things, I might think we REALLY were under some sort of curse.......like not winning the Cup in over 30 years. Oh, wait......http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/see-gruesome-bloody-skate-left-behind-eric-wellwood-144821734--nhl.html;_ylt=AlFzoNTbwZIsScil9h2A3YZ7vLYF;_ylu=X3oDMTN1ZW9pNWNvBG1pdANGRUFUVVJFRCBNZWdhdHJvbiBOSEwEcGtnAzdiMWNiMzQ3LWQyNTMtM2M0Zi1hMmNlLTE0ZTlhM2YzZmEzNQRwb3MDNQRzZWMDbWVnYXRyb24EdmVyAzdjMzIxYWIwLWEwNWMtMTFlMi05YzNmLTEwNzg1ODUwOWEyYw--;_ylg=X3oDMTFoYWo1YzR1BGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdANuaGwEcHQDc2VjdGlvbnM-;_ylv=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
