@1, 2: Malarchuk played for Buffalo when that incident happened. The voices on this video are the Buffalo play by play guys. I assume the "oh, i'm afraid i have" comment was a reference to the Malarchuk incident.

I remember for a short while a long time back (90s, I'd say) there were several goalies who wore plastic neck protectors, but in fear of a slapshot to the throat, not a skate blade. They're not nearly as prevalent now.
