"Life is so fragile, and you don't own it"

Florida Panthers forward Richard Zednik has left the hospital and returned to Florida less than a week after he was slashed in the throat by a teammate's skate.

Zednik went home Friday after being released Thursday evening, officials at Buffalo General Hospital said.

Zednik lost five pints of blood after he was accidentally sliced by the skate of teammate Olli Jokinen in a game against the Sabres.
