Former Buffalo Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk apparently accidentally shot himself in the chin Tuesday with a .22-caliber rifle at his Fish Springs residence, according to the Record-Courier of Nevada. Malarchuk, 47, was taken to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno by helicopter. Douglas County sheriff's deputies were investigating the incident Wednesday to determine if the shooting was accidental, the paper said. Officers were dispatched to the Malarchuks' home at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday after his wife reported her husband accidentally shot himself, according to reports. When deputies arrived, the paper said, he was sitting on a bench next to a horse tack storage room, bleeding profusely from his chin and mouth. Malarchuk's wife said when she arrived home from work her husband was in the backyard, and said he had been shooting rabbits with a .22 rifle. She said Malarchuk stood and placed the rifle butt on the ground between his legs and the rifle discharged, striking him in the chin. He reportedly was belligerent with paramedics and with health center staff, refusing treatment.

Dang, he is cursed.

That is still the nastiest sports injury I've ever seen. Theismann's broken leg doesn't hold a candle IMO.

Clint turned into Elmer Fudd within a few seconds right there.

Malarchuk is definitely cursed. What next...being invited to a Clippers game??

Shooting yourself in the face with a 22 rifle is not an accident, no matter what anyone says.

He's been fighting depression for a long time, it's probably a suicide attempt. But whatever, glad he is ok!

I feel badly for Malarchuk. I saw his injury while he played and man that was so gruesome that it turned my stomach. I can't think of many sports injuries that are on a par with that.

He was on Sports Science and looked completely fine about what had happened (Pre-.22 rifle shot to the face).

Right, because its normal to have your jugular sliced open and then shot in the face point blank with a .22. Happens all the time.

If he were lucky neither would have happened to him.

depending up on his "intentions" he may feel rather un-lucky...
