Swiss National League player paralyzed

Nasty hit into the boards - Article is in French. They're saying it's 50/50 whether or not he will walk again.

OMG, that poor guy's head just smashed into the boards. I hope he is going to be OK but that didn't look good at all.

That looked really bad. Wow. Poor guy.

That was nasty.

Given that it's a European league where the roue de la justice (rad der gerechtigkeit for the fans in Zurich) doesn't stand for this stuff, I would bet the offender is looking at a lengthy suspension.
