Taylor Hall takes a hard slap shot from teammate right to the face

Just when you think things can't get worse for members of the Buffalo Sabres, something like this happens. Taylor Hall was standing near the New Jersey Devils net tonight while teammate Colin Miller winds up and takes a big slap shot. Hall would get shoved in the back by P.K. Subban while the puck is making its way to the net and takes the full force of the shot right to the face. Check it out:

Hall left the game immediately but did return later on. That did not look good at all and is especially unnerving given the circumstances late last week that resulted in a 19-year-old Russian hockey player, Timir Faizutdinov, dying after being struck by a puck and having severe damage done to his carotid artery.
