KHL's Timur Faizutdinov, 19, Dies After Being Struck in Head by Puck

The worst part is that he died because the facility he was taken to was not equipped to perform a procedure that would have saved his life, and he wasn't stable enough to be transported.

 

Whether it's the gulag, the famines, the Eastern Front or hockey, life's always been a little bit cheap in Russia.

 

It wasn't like he got drilled with a slap shot in the head (ala Zuc and Richter). It was a wrister to shoot the puck in the zone.

 

When I was playing youth hockey, I'd get hit in the foot with a shot going half the speed of a shot in the NHL and be limping for three weeks. Pucks are hard. I don't know how these guys take it.
