CALGARY, Alberta -- Red Wings forward Brad May remained overnight in Calgary for observation after suffering hyphema, or blood in the right eye, when he was hit by a teammate’s stick during the Wings’ 3-1 victory Saturday at Calgary.

Trainer Piet Van Zant said this morning that May “will be fine, he may just need to be out for a bit.” May was to fly to Toronto today, an off day for the Wings, to see his family.

Van Zant said May is scheduled to be re-evaluated Monday in Detroit. Van Zant said it’s unlikely May will need to – or want to – start wearing a visor for protection.

The incident occurred in the third period, when Jason Williams accidentally high-sticked May while on the bench.

Sucks this might hinder him from dropping the gloves. ****in Jason Williams I swear does more harm than good everytime he is on the ice.

I,m sure this will break Hollands heart.

Awesome.

Kris Newbury or Jamie Tardif would definately recieve a call up now...if Holland wasnt GM.

The Wings hate fighting so much they're McSorley'ing their own tough guy.

Really funny, they finally have somebody fighting and they high stick him on the bench!! LOL

That blows... hopefully he'll be back to 100% sooner than later. This is quality May time with both Filppula and Franzen out for a long time.

Can't we just get him an eye patch? It would look totally bad ass.

This sucks for him. I have had something similar to this before and he will be out a couple weeks or so. I was not even allowed to bend over and tie my shoes for a week let alone go through normal activities. I had a microhyphema which is behind the anterior chamber of the eye and his is in front of. I don't know if that will make it less time for him but I doubt it.

Any other team in the league and I would believe this story. Because it's Detroit though I feel compelled to replace, "Jason Williams accidentally high-sticked May while on the bench" with, Jason Williams accidently ejaculated in May's eye in the shower while aiming for Zetterberg.

May was very lucky. He escaped a potentially career ending serious injury. Not from a fight, or while during the play on the ice, but while sitting on the bench?! Get back soon and 100%.
