wow..... RIP...... such a sad story

[shrader]

It really goes to show you how amazing it is that a guy like Numinen is still playing with his issues. I can't even imagine what goes through the players minds after he's taken off the bench.

[shrader]

And the kid probably would've been in the states by now if there was a transfer agreement. I can't help but wonder if they catch some kind of issue ahead of time if he's over here.

[Claude Balls]

That's a terrible story, and similar to Jiri Fischer's.

 

But what's with the ambulance had already left the arena? The defibrillators may not have been working right? Sounds like a lot of things went wrong for the poor kid.

[Corp000085]

early reports are that he collapsed on the bench after colliding with jaromir jagr. horrible if that's true.

[Realist]

Apparent Heart Attack

[Two or less]

One of my friends is a huge NYR fan and i've been talking with him. Jagr elbowed Cherpanov mid-ice and he went down. The ambulance that is supposed to stay during games, had left so they had to wait for another one. This is a very sad story. He was a huge prospect in our sport.

Like a dirty elbow or just a collusion unintentional thing?

[Two or less]

unintentional. They were team-mates.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Cherepanov family. RIP.

 

(I wondered why Samuel P. Woo of Hockey Prime Time gave his condolences on Facebook without making any direct reference to his name. I wonder no more.)

 

Luc Bourdon, and now this...

 

So tragic. :cry:

[fiftyone]

I was reading that Jagr was crying and screaming at him to "wake up" as they were trying to revive him.

 

Sad stuff.

[jwcolour]

Ooh wow, yeah i hope Jaromir doesn't feel guilty... seems like just a weird freak accident. Wouldn't surprise me if in Russia some of their crap wasn't working either... Really sad, that has to be a horrible thing to witness as a teammate or even opponent or fan.

[DR HOLLIDAY]

Very sad story......... :(

[Campy]

Wow.

 

Condolences to his family and friends.

This is terrible. I remember watching the '07 draft when he fell to the Rangers. It was a big story because most teams didn't want to pay the money to get him out of Russia, despite his talent.

(Warning, not easy to watch.)

Last minutes (back on bench, not hit):

That's Jagr at his feet.

 

 

Edit: supposedly his last shift:

You can see him (#7) on the ice at 0:38, and then at 1:03, you can see a player on the white bench with his down below the top of the boards next to Jagr (#68).

 

 

 

Unfortunate that "Welcome to the Jungle is playing in the background.

Fixed.

 

Anyway that scene is just horrible

Am I the only one who finds the following statement astonishingly cold?

 

"He's a Ranger and I think it'll have an impact on people," Renney said. "We're going to have to deal with it in our own personal way, but in the interest of a bright, young life that's over we're going to have to pursue the objective of tonight and that's get two points from New Jersey."

These past years, there have been quite a few of these "freak heart attacks", in international Soccer, particularly in the bigger leagues around Europe.

 

I saw a documentary on this very issue some time back, and some doctors claimed to have traced the reason for apparently healthy elite-athletes suffering sudden heart attacks, to a specific painkiller which is very commonly used in sports, worldwide.

 

Sadly I forgot the name of the specific drug, but the whole debacle was that this drug was commonly known to have potentially lethal side effects on a very low percentage of users, yet team doctors readily hand it out to everyone, without divulging this information to the player.

 

The problem lies in the fact, that these athletes use painkillers in amounts that normal people would never do, as they're expected to play through basically every minor quirk. If you're not a star, you're a workhorse.

 

Now, I have no idea if this has anything to do with this tragedy, just food for thought.

No, not at all. It is tactless, to say the least.

Another reason the NHL is the best league in the world. Medical Staff.

 

Pure negligence over there. How do you not have defibrillator's and an ambulance? Senseless.

 

R.I.P.

Especially with all of the money they have you would think they would have the best and most of everything.
