A scary scene unfolded in Minnesota tonight, as a Chicago Blackhawks prospect had to be removed from the surface by the medical team on a stretcher. Blackhawks prospect Sam Savoie was heading towards the boards, when he gets caught with an opposing player, and falls horribly into the wall.
The arena microphone picked up a blood curdling scream from Savoie as he clung to his leg. The medical staff for the Blackhawks quickly came to tend to him, and eventually removed Savoie in a stretcher.
Savoie still had the strength and wherewithal to give a thumbs up to his teammates, but the rookie looks like he suffered a horrible injury, and will face some time away from the ice in recovery.
