Hahaha, seriously?
Of course it was the hit that fractured his tibial plateau. The skate blade came off as a result of the hit, and he collapsed in part due to there not being a blade, but
mainly because his knee wouldn't function properly when trying to put any weight on it....
He just had surgery to reattach the fractured bone, something that would have been caused my a high intensity impact while in an awkward position.
"The tibial plateau is a critical weight-bearing area located on the upper extremity of the tibia."
"High energy fractures are commonly the result of motor vehicle accidents, falls or sports related injuries."
