I didn't have time to react and the puck hit me in the neck... I lost all feeling on the right side of my body, I dropped and they called the ambulance as the swelling was compressing my carotid artery and my trachea...

I was in the hospital since last night under surveillance to make sure the swelling went down completely and that my diastolic pressure went up again (I was 98/47)

Anyways that probably was the closest I have ever been being killed in my life... Makes you question things...
