Okay. I'm extremely squeamish about stuff like this. I'd like to read Clint's story, but if it's graphic, will take a pass. Is that the case?

There’s pictures of course and some other really graphic details about other shocking incidents. So if you’re squeamish, you might want to take a pass on reading it @GordonHowe

Wow what a great read. Glad he made it out of that injury alive.

Was actually well written too.

It's graphic and I'm not even talking about the injury.

Thanks, Chief & Fens. I'll stay away for that reason. But, good luck to him & glad he's okay.

No worries Gord! The good news it seems that after all that poor man has gone through he’s on the right track

What a coincidence, I was just talking about Clint Malarchuk the other night with my Dad and Brother. I think we got on the topic after talking about the Backes laceration. Funny how life can be like that sometimes.

Horrible fact: some toy company made the incident into an action figure.

That was fan made....not an actual company.....a fan made it based off the starting line action figures....come on no serious company would allow that for sale.

Wow!
I never knew his whole story. Thanks for posting this.

I was able to hear Clint and his wife speak recently regarding mental health and what he has gone through in his life. Spoke about much of what is in this article but also heard from his wife and what she went through. Was really worthwhile.

I think I had read somewhere years ago that it was legit after questioning it myself, which in-turn really stuck with me because of the level of terribleness it would take to produce such vile rubbish.

Though, if you have a different understanding I’m likely wrong and remembering incorrectly.

Either way, it’s incredibly distasteful.
