Reminiscent of the injury that Borje Salming suffered when our own Gerard Gallant accidentally caught Salming in the face with his skate.  This one is not nearly as bad as that though.  Over 200 stitches to Salming’s face.

Ouch. Glad he’s feeling better, but more glad that it wasn’t worse.

Sawchuk-esque.  I don’t know, however, if that’s a scar worth talking about to your grandkids, though.

I disagree…talk to them about the importance of wearing a damn helmet!
