He should have worn a better HELMet


Stole that gif from Eric IMO, it should become the official gif for lame jokes...

Jokes aside, hope he is ok!
He's a good gritty forward and one of those players that doesn't get that much attention but still plays an important part in the team's success.

Yeah no doubt. The player he collided with left the ice on a stretcher. Hope he's ok too.
Could of been worse for Helm all things considered.

From Fantrax about Jerome Verrier:

Verrier broke his leg Friday in a collision with veteran Darren Helm that left the team shaken as it opened training camp under new a new coach. The 21-year-old Verrier collided with Helm during a drill in the camp's first 10 minutes at Traverse City's Centre Ice Arena, resulting in both going to the hospital. First-year Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said Verrier suffered a broken right leg.

While it sucks for Helm, at least he's got a roster spot sorted out. I feel worse for Verrier, trying to show what he can do and ends up breaking his darn leg in a friendly fire incident. Back when I was playing hockey regularly, we had the occasional violent collision during practices, so I can see how this stuff can happen. Hope all concerned heal up and get back as soon as they can.
