The Malarchuk Incident: Tuttle's
fairly brief NHL career might be best known for a horrific moment in which his
skate sliced the jugular of Buffalo Sabres goaltender Clint Malarchuk. It happened during
St. Louis'
March 22, 1989, game at Buffalo. As Tuttle was upended in
front of the Sabres goal by Buffalo defenseman Uwe Krupp, his skate cut
Malarchuk's neck. The skate got caught
under Malarchuk's mask and above his protective collar. It slashed his jugular
vein, causing blood to gush out rapidly from a six-inch cut on the right side
of his neck. Malarchuk flung off his mask and collapsed to the ice in a pool
of his own blood, fearing that he was about to die. Malarchuk was helped off
the ice under his own power, and Sabres trainers stitched him up quickly in
the dressing room before sending him to the hospital. That night, the grisly
scene was shown on videotape on sports broadcasts across North
America, and the incident gave both Malarchuk and Tuttle a dose of celebrity
they might never
have expected. In the end, the injury was far less serious than it had
appeared. Tuttle's skate had only cut Malarchuk's external jugular, sparing
his interior jugular and vocal cords. Malarchuk was released from a St. Louis
hospital on March 23, 1989, and returned to the Buffalo lineup on April 2,
1989. |
