Some guys have all the luck. This guy is not one of them.

Not quite six months short of the 20th anniversary of his being shown on live television in one of the most gruesome moments in all of sports...

( Cut because, well, it's one of the most gruesome moments in all of sports )

... former Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk had himself ANOTHER terrible horrible no good very bad day:

 It was a gruesome, bloody moment, and it almost cost Clint Malarchuk his life. Malarchuk, a goaltender with the Buffalo Sabres, had his jugular vein accidentally severed by a skate during a game against St. Louis in 1989.

“All I wanted to do was get off the ice,” Malarchuk recalled last February, after Florida Panthers forward, Richard Zednik, suffered a similar injury. “My mother was watching the game on TV, and I didn’t want her to see me die.”

Malarchuk survived, and in recent years, he has been working as a goaltending coach with the Columbus Blue Jackets. But earlier this week, the old goalie suffered another gruesome injury, and this one was self-inflcited. According to a report in The Record Courier of Nevada, Malarchuk accidentally shot himself in the chin with a .22 caliber rifle on Tuesday.

Malarchuk’s wife reported the shooting. When officers arrived at the family’s residence, the former goaltender was reportedly bleeding profusely from the mouth and chin, and initially refused treatment from paramedics. Malarchuk was transported to a medical facility nearby, where reports indicate he continued to be uncooperative with medical staff. He was later taken by helicopter to Renown Regional Medical Center in Nevada.

Nothing to add, really. Certainly nothing funny.
