Please pray for Miami's Will Weber

A photo of the moment before the injury.

Very glad that Weber seems to be doing well and is in good spirits. His Facebook status update a few hours ago: "talk about a pain in the neck :):):)" and a tweet from Connor Knapp: "Weber is home. Smiling because he gets to play Xbox for 4 days straight."

Here's to a speedy recovery, Will!

Well wishes are much much appreciated from everyone!

You are correct about neck guards, they were not mandatory. Spoke with the the doctor who was at the arena and saw him immediately after and was told it wouldn't of mattered with the angle the skate came down.

Surgery did go well. If there ever can be, there were a lot of positives that happened last night to help make this horrific situation a lot better. 1. was the tremendous response by the doctors, trainers, and EMT at the arena. 2. was where the skate caught him, it got him just below the jaw line and missed his artery. The main injury was a deep laceration to the neck and cut mostly muscle. Time table for a return has yet to be determined, but it is thought he will play again this year. When he comes back is based on how the wounds heal. But lots of great news came after the fact which is good to see, this certaintly could of been a lot worse.

Again thanks to everyone for their kind words, I know the Miami community is appreciative.

wow what a great picture, I would say its the moment of the injury not before. Thanks for posting that maybe will help give a visual to those who had questions and discount those who said it was a dirty play by Weber.

Sounds like Connor might be a little jealous...:D and good to see Will still has his sense of humor!

From Vaive's twitter

"Will Weber typical night 100 stitches, 15 staples, and a triple meat burrito to cap it off http://yfrog.com/jw2hsqj"

yeek. Sounds like he is doing great all things considered.

Being a Buffalo Sabres fan, I'm already eek'd when hearing about this (remember Malarchuk and Zednik both happened while Buffalo was playing). I really wish for Mr. Weber a full recovery. I would not be surprised if neck guards are talked about; I think they may have also been discussed after Zednik's recent injury, and I know throat guards were mandated for goaltenders after Malarchuk's injury.

Wow what a scary injury. Hope he can make a full physical and emotional comeback from that.
