That happened during my first Buffalo Sabres game against Detroit back when I was a kid. Probably around 1992. Back in the old Aud. It was a old lady few rows below me. She took it in the nose and was knocked out
Letās hope that fan makes a full recovery! On the other hand, The Washington Capitals should pay for any medical bill expenses. Such as the ambulance ride and the hospital emergency room visit.
Iām not a lawyer. Iām not sure how the whole medical and legal side of things play out if a fan gets injured by a puck or a baseball?
I almost got hit with a puck once. I was seated right behind the net at a Vancouver/Anaheim game and during their warmups one came flying over and landed at my feet. Looked up to see the players staring at me wide-eyed. I just yelled āIām okay!ā and they looked really relieved. I hope this lady makes a speedy recovery!
Would they have taken this time out to look after a fan hit by the puck under ordinary circumstances. It's been firmly and consistently established that liability for safety lies with the fans.
I got hit in the head by a puck when I was at an OHL game when I was 12. I blacked out twice, went to hospital and got stitched up. Still have the puck…and a scar.
A friend in High School was at a Pro game and got hit in the face by a PucK! It was bad, it nearly killed her. Broke her cheekbones well crushed it, broke her jaw, her eye socket, her teeth on that side. They ended up taking all her teeth. She was in the ICU fir what seemed like forever! It hit so fast No one at first realized it till they saw her just collapse forward to the floor! She was unconscious! They had to life flight her! If it had hit her higher on her face ie her forehead It wouldāve likely killed her instantly! The way it hit She was bleeding inside not internally but most of the blood was going down her throat! Granted a lot was outside too! Gosh, Iāve not thought about that and her in decades! Just a really incredible freak accident! I sure hope this fan made a full recovery! He sure has a story to tell!
wow even in hockey, one of the most violent sports, officials and players are stopping the game and getting help to someone injured as soon as possible… travis scott should take notes….
I recall A few years ago, when Kevin Fiala was still with Nashvilleā¦he had a wipeout and went straight and fast into the end board, leg extended. Scary sightā¦they got him medical attention quickly but since there was only one ambulance at the arena, and that one soon had him in it, they had to wait for another one to arrive before play could resume. It was a playoff game.
Luckily it was only tossed up there! My daughter is such a hockey fan that she would hope it scarred if she were the one that was hit! She would also expect to keep the puck!

You really need to put netting all around the rink
moral of the story… Keep your eyes on the play at all time!
Should have stayed home instead of watching over paid kids

Who wants to bet she was on her phone and not paying attention to the game?
A couple of years ago a girl died at hockey game from a hockey puck
Fuuuā¦. Watching that the 2nd time really shows how fast that puck was moving. Damn. Straight to her head?! Damn
That's Karma letting a WokeTard know he should WAKE UP!
When i was 11 i got knocked out by a very similar play i was in the stands

Neal Bobys was the unfortuante fan who was hit by the stray puck. He's going to have one nasty scar and a crazy story to tell hockey fans.

Get off ur damn phone, pay attention while paying for ur ticket
Okay, but fr if you're gonna wear a Tom Wilson jersey, don't pretend to care about somebody lol
Jokes aside, good to see they got off alright. Also, this goes down as reason #57 that I hate Vegas.
Unfortunately that Capitalās fan wasnāt Samsonov.
Toughest athletes out there but also the most caring.
he lifted that pick up on purpose

Im sueing
In Russia, a little girl died like that, a puck hit her head.
The fan who was hit by the ambulance
Get the shot said Ol'Joe š¤£š¤£š¤£ hope he s ok. š
The nets will be going up all around the rinks next season just like baseball.
WM the best ref
āIf she was taken out, the fan who was hit with an ambulance, he was gonna have to stop playā??š¤£š¤£š¤£š??
Thatās true humanity right there!!!
Tell me Washington DC isn't being used as a toy!
It would be right before an Ovechkin power play, too!
Don't ever forget Henrik Lundquist was on this team!

If that was an NBA game….š¤
"Pretty easy shot" nahh a D man clearing the puck is usually got a little bit of mustard on it tbh

Why the need for a second ambulance? No clue what the guy said at the end there.

I don't watch hockey but why don't they put netting around the whole arena?

0:32 That guy on the left is openly crying. He mustāve been scared for the person who got hit.
A girl 3 rows behind me got hit with a puck at my first Caps game!
They should have netting around every hockey rank
