Max Pacioretty taken off on stretcher

Max Pacioretty of the Montreal Canadians was taken off the ice on the stretcher last night after Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins drove his head into the side of the glass that separates the benches.

This was very scary and looks absolutely brutal.

Good news is that he is conscious and moving his extremities. Our thoughts are with Max and the Pacioretty family.
