Here’s a Picture of Taylor Hall With 30 Stitches in His Head
Earlier this week, Taylor Hall had a teammate step on his head during warmups. It was a terrifying moment, but Hall escaped with nothing but a little black eye and a cut so big it required 30 stitches. He didn’t even go to the hospital. Hall, 20, talked it over with his mom and they decided that he will wear a helmet during warmups from now on.

Incredibly lucky. 4 inches lower and he’s losing that eye… or worse.

The most stitches I took from one incident was 40. Dove to knock the puck away from a guy who was on a breakaway and took his skate to the cheek – could stick my tongue through. The scar doesn’t look as bad as Hall’s, he’s very lucky.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:38 PM
never been stitched while conscious. have a nice scar because i refused to get it stitched. something about sewing the skin scares me
January 19th, 2012 at 1:39 PM
It’s a good thing that Columbus had a good stablemaster on hand to sew him back up.

The Boy Who Lived is even more ironic seeing as the guy who stepped on him was named Corey Potter.

Hall – shoulder and above
RHN – shoulder, caught a rut in shitty ice in Chicago
Eberle – knee, locked skates with Benn and went down awkwardly (though he’s back tonight)
Tough to be an Oilers’ fan these days.

January 19th, 2012 at 1:43 PM
That’s not the real hairline of a 20-year old, is it? Some must have been shaved away for the stitching, correct?
January 19th, 2012 at 1:43 PM
At least the Oil have a future and will be getting another top notch pick.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:44 PM
i imagine the great stichening of 2012 went something like this.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:44 PM
Sadly, I can’t even defend our ice here. It does suck. It’s better now that it’s cold outside, but it’s still not a great surface to play on.
The Oilers are the shitty team we can’t seem to beat. So there’s that.

You just pissed off about 9 people who thought that wound was closed.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:47 PM
Speaking of the Islanders, former Oiler Steve Staios is going to have to answer for that blatant elbow he delivered to Max Talbot last week (went unpenalized). Would be surprised if he’s not challenged tonight.

I once received 2 stitches in the right side of my head from dinging a metal laundry shoot door corner while running back to the freezer for push pops. By push pops I mean the ones that are flavored sugar water in the plastic that you have to cut the top off, not the Flinstone push pop — though that would have been worth the stiches as well.

One tough hombre, he is.

Islanders may as well go back to the fisherman logo.

I got 12 stiches on my knee by falling down a sewer once. I was walking to the bus stop when I was 14, and a couple of huge bars were missing from a sewer in my neighborhood (which of course I didn’t see). My one leg dropped immediately went down and my knee caught the edge of the metal that broke off.
I’ve been afraid of walking on sewers ever since.

Why would the “No Pants subway ride” video be related to a video of a guy falling on the ice and taking a skate to the head?
January 19th, 2012 at 1:49 PM
never gotten stitches…i just heat up my knife and commando the wound closed.

got a few stitches above my eye in high school after someone accidentally hit me with a floor hockey stick in gym class. asshole

Freezer pops, man.
Mind blank, couldnt think of it. Blue is the all time winner.

The skin on a three inch area of each of my shins was flayed in a zip line accident. There wasn’t enough skin to stitch it back together so I just wrapped those bitches up and let the skin regrow.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:52 PM
Awww poor baby.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:52 PM
I’ve had stitches about 20 times, and the friggin shot right into the middle of the would always seems to hurt way more than the stitching process would without it. Still haven’t stitches without the numbing though.
Same with cavities/dental work – I can’t stand the novacaine shot to the roof of the mouth. Hurts like a bitch. I refuse it for most routine dental work now – drilling/cavity filling really doesn’t hurt as long as they catch it early enough. Plus, you can always stop them and get the shot later.

You couldn’t even remember the name “freezer pops” so this answer is obviously wrong.

did this once after crushing a big toe with i can;t remember what. hot water softened the nail, cut through with a razor, let out some pressure
two scars. forgot about the one i got from falling off a moving car
January 19th, 2012 at 1:54 PM
Fuck yeah it does. I’m not afraid of shots, but I’ve had stiches 4 times and the shot is easily the most painful part for me.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:54 PM
42.
Also the keyword “not wearing” in this case helmets and pants combined with date relevancy. Also I would argue someone who watches someone get slashed in the face withe a hockey skate would have no qualms clicking on a link to pants-less people.

For what it’s worth it was between blue and red — though I cannot argue your point.

Firing a scoped rifle. Scope apparently was fastened well…after a little while the scope had slid back far enough that the recoil split my forehead open.
My friend, the gun owner, laughed, and said “oh ya, same thing happened last summer”. He covered my co-pay at the hospital.

My football cleats in high school fucked up my big toes so I had an elective surgery done to cut out a third of the nail on each of them. For one of the surgeries the doctor didn’t give me enough novocaine and I felt the entire procedure. Cutting open the side of my toe, chiseling the nail out, putting it back together. Fucking asshole thought I was lying when I said I could feel it.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:56 PM
And he made the stitches small
January 19th, 2012 at 1:58 PM
i used to play with 15-gauge guitar strings (very thick), and after a holiday break where my callouses softened, i ripped the callous on my pinkie finger straight off and glued it back on with epoxy.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:58 PM
Only had stitches once. Chin. Blew it open going over the handlebars on my bike as a wee young lad. I think it was only like 12 stitches. Nothing too big. I freaked out though and they had to strap me down to sew me back up.
January 19th, 2012 at 1:59 PM
I had a similar problem when I got snipped. That was…unpleasant

I had to have my wisdom teeth out on one side, and the roots were so twisted that he had to chisel the teeth into pieces and pull the pieces out. Needless to say it took so long that the novacaine wore off a few times during the process.
January 19th, 2012 at 2:06 PM
guinnessgirl, that sucks. i am afraid of dentists and never go. had a third-world dentist visit (El Salvador) as a yoot and it changed the game for me
January 19th, 2012 at 2:07 PM
Same exact thing happen to me when I was 6. I got 8 sitches on my chin, and it looked like I had a mini soul patch going on.
January 19th, 2012 at 2:08 PM
I had that too, but they gassed the shit out of me. He had to stop a few times cuz I was laughing at the sound of the drill tearing into my teeth. Add on four days of an ice-cream-and-codone diet and I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

sometimes yoou have to go. i had to have gum surgery in order to fit a cap after a root canal, and yes, i remember giggling because i couldn;t believe and was so happy that with all the grinding and power tool work being done, i felt nothing
January 19th, 2012 at 2:11 PM
Ew. Thats too bad. My dad would never go to the dentist and had to get full dentures by 50 years old.
January 19th, 2012 at 2:25 PM
I can’t do gas because it makes me sick. When I was a kid my brother and I both needed a tooth pulled. They gave him gas. When they gave it to me I got nauseated and puked on the dentist.
