Some scary moments from the WHL's championship series Wednesday night. Just over five minutes into the first period of game four, Brendan Kuny of the Edmonton Oil Kings took a huge hit from Tyrel Bauer of the Seattle Thunderbirds. Kuny would lay motionless on the ice for several minutes before finally being stretchered off. The first video below shows just the hit.
