Logan Cooley's skate just slashed an officials hand/wrist here and we have an emergency.
My heart is in my stomach.
The players are being sent to the room.
I am just stunned. Have never had a feeling like that at a hockey game. It happened right in front of me here and I I've never in my life seen blood come like that. Can't shake it. Just praying he's OK.
