NHL linesman Pat Dapuzzo was injured (60 stitches and a broken nose) forcing him to leave the New York Rangers vs Philadelphia Flyers game. Pat was cut when Rangers
Fedor Tyutin hip checked Flyers Steve Downey and Downey's skate hit Pat in the face. Pat went down and blood was pouring onto the ice, Pat got up and and pushed one of the refs away as he skated back down the ice trailing blood everywhere. The reason Pat was trying to get back into the play was that all 10 skaters on the ice were enaged in various stages of fisticuffs. Pat tried breaking one of the fights up but was helped off the ice by both team medical trainers.
Best wishes to Pat who is in his last NHL season and is a great guy, here's hoping to a speedy recovery.
