Bad luck. Has to be horrible to go through.
I heard on SC this morning that it was 275lbs. They said it crushed his vocal chords, he had to have a traichiotomy (sp?), and he's in critical but stable condition, currently breathing through a tube. He won't be able to play again this season. Sheesh. How terrible.

On the upside, they did say he is expected to make a full recovery thankfully.
