Well Wishes to Zed

The Panthers have set up a page for fans to post their get well wishes to Richard Zednik. Zednik, who suffered a skate injury on Sunday that left his carotid artery "hanging like a thread," is recovering and is expected to resume normal activity in 6-8 weeks. As for his return to the ice, that is not yet clear.

From the ESPN.com story on his recovery...

Attending surgeon Sonya Noor said there were no initial signs of brain damage, which is a fear whenever the coratid artery is clamped. She said clamps were in place for about 15 to 20 minutes during surgery, which she considers a short time.

"So far, he looks very good. He's awake, oriented," said Noor. "He remembers what happened last night."
