Scott Gomez career ending injury


Recommended Posts

did anyone hear about gomez getting hurt? apparently he was playing an AHL game, was hit from behind, and somehow ended up with a broken pelvis, most likely ending his career.

i just heard this on the news, but can't find anything about it anywhere. they only had a clip of him laying sprawled on the ice.

this is really really sad news, he was such a young star.

If the NHL wasn't on strike, then this would never happened. :no: :angry: :argh:

I hope he makes a full recovery. He's one of the best players on the Devils.

The player that hit him, Ashlee Langdone, is suspended for only one game.

"In five professional seasons, the 6-foot-1, 205-pound Langdone has carved out a reputation as a fighter and has accumulated an astounding 1,534 penalty minutes in just 246 pro games."

wow, what a thug, 1 game is just unacceptable.

you know, i would sorry that he is hurt, but he shouldn't have been playing anyways. he was just taking a job away from someone who really needed it, i guess karma is a b!tch

interesting opinion. thats the first time i've heard it looked at like that. the whole vibe i've gotten from all the articles i've read is that "he is being a good sport by playing for only $500 per week in front of his hometown fans, who are all excited to see him".

Ill tell you from experience, getting hit from behind is by far the worst and cheapest way to hit someone. I never did it when I played and I got hit from behind plenty of times and a few made me get concussions 2 were major concussions that I had to go to hospital. Another time I broke my funny bone off my left elbow because I tried to stop myself from hitting the glass and my arm twisted and snapped off the bone. He should have got a minimal of 10 games for that cheap crap

i feel the same way too. its unfortunate he got hurt and you never wish that, but i wish the NHL players would stay out of the minor leagues. there's guys that arent playing now cause someone in the NHL wanted to. the $500 a week the NHL guys are getting, whether they are donating it to charity or not, is the same $500 a guy is not getting that normally feeds his family cause he no longer has a roster spot.

its nice you want to play in front of your hometown fans and all but these guys make millions of dollars and can easily put together charity events and games with other NHL players if they want to play so bad.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
