New York Rangers picking Alexei Cherepanov

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

did he died?

[SuperBlitz1234]

RIP alexei I want cry when I watch this video

[manutdr8]

man he was good too, it would have been great to see him in nyc.

[maximrules]

R.I.P. Alexei

[ripefortheharvest]

Did he fall so far back because of his heart problem?

[hockeyman1117]

The Rangers get screwed on every first round pick they get. Pavle Brendl at #4, Dan Blackburn at #10, Hugh Jessiman at #12, Al Montoya at #6, and now a poor young kid dies right next to Jaromir Jagr at 19 years old. There new draft pick Dylan McIlrath better be an amazing defenceman.

[GOODPLAYA20]

@hockeyman1117 Brendl, Jessiman and Montoya were bad picks. Blackburn, had a nerve injury that no one know about and Cherepanov died. They only got screwed with two picks. But now that Gordie Clark's the one making the picks, we're getting guys that are NHL caliber that got drafted in the 3rd and 4th round as well as our 1st round picks.

[MrNumberNine9]

Jarkko Ruutu would make more points than Crosby with more icetime. Crysby is overrated!

[hockey6467]

@MrNumberNine9 I highly doubt that!

[MrNumberNine9]

Jarkko Ruutu would make more points than Crosby with more icetime. Crysby is overrated!

[milkluver7]

R.I.P

[Fuzzwuzz09]

It's such a tragedy that a young and talented player died. Alexei's very cute too, especially at 1:03. I just want to kiss him! ^-^

[kod21gumdealer]

RIP CHERRY...that's really all I can say to him...

[bleach299990]

R.I.P alexei

[bleach299990]

if he was still alive i bet that he would have score 40+ goal this season .

finish his career with 500- 600 goals.

[hockeysnipa28]

R.I.P

[mentalxmarine]

ummm stanley u idiot he died at 19 he didnt hav a stanley cup ring

[SveJeDoJaja]

i'm pretty sure that he would become one of the best players =( its so sad, that he nerver become the chance to play in the nhl... rip

[BleedingRangersBlue]

R.I.P CHEREPANOV gone way to soon.

[GoPensGo377]

I know its sad that he died and all, but im tired of people saying he would have been great. Actually no. If he survived, they would figure out he had heart problems and he wouldn't of played in the NHL, even if this never happened eventually after blood tests and stuff they wouldnt let him play because his heart condition, its about his safety, This happened to Matt Carle bro, he has the same condition so he couldnt play in the NHL after being drafted in the 1st or 2nd round

[JaysonHoang14]

He should of just stayed in Ny not go back to Russia :( RIP Young Talent

[dadeeman1oo]

omg why did he die its sad he was 19 and he could of helped the rangers

[JohnnyQ2004]

it was really sad he died, so young with so much potential. I wonder if there are highlights of his hockey plays on here.

[TriFF51]

fuckin sucks, i wanted to see him on the Rangers sooo bad.

[Swedelady]

I feel shame for the russian medicin...no ambulance during the game...(((( Such a guy! Such a player! Such a star! ((( Forgive us, Alexey...You could do so much...RIP

[Cocknockerofl]

I woulda been glad if he had survived. Who cares if he couldn't play anymore. If he lived his career would have been over. He woudla always been at risk for cardiac arrest. No doctor would clear him to play.

[TourmaRabNYR]

crosby is overrated

[stanleyKubrik11]

are you kiddin ??? he had 400 points before his 300 games and he had 1 stanely cup ring before he had 22 years old !!

[BearsSniper10]

thts crosby buddy

[OvechkinCCM]

ahahaha

[noahtavlin]

i just think that the reports of him blood doping were a bit too vague. "alexei cherepenov was blood doping." that's pretty much all we heard, and then the whole thing went away.

[noahtavlin]

he didn't do steroids you douches, do you guys seriously believe russian media? they reported that because they don't want to take the blame for his death...didn't any one of you morons notice how vague the reports were about it? he had a preexisting medical condition, probably an enlarged heart or somthing.

RIP alexei cherepenov ='[

[Wi3dMaN]

He was blood doping.

[noahtavlin]

okay if you want to believe the sketchy KHL owners who all seem more like russian mafiosos each and every day. they are trying to divert from the bad press that they got for having no ambulance on hand, and no working defibrillators. he had a pre-existing heart condition.

[Wi3dMaN]

And if you want to find conspiracy in things where it isn't there, go for it. there was huge speculation he was blood doping right after it happenned, didn't come as too big a shock

[FuZoK]

nah really good yeah but not the next sidney crosby or alexander ovechkin

[MortalPapaPablo]

LOL he was stuffing his performance enhancer pills back in his pocket. LOL RIP druggie

[mpkilla55]

fuck you

[backsveden6]

The best Rangersprospect ever, R.I.P CHEREPANOV

[heaveho94]

FUCK!!!!!!!

[Tabarnakdecoolise]

Good my ass he was on roids Boooo!

[mpkilla55]

[EdgeBest]

RIP ALEXI CHEREPANOV

[skinsknot1]

RIP Alexei Cherepanov so sad, so young

[horselover4life08]

R.I.P Alexei

You so deserved this and u would have made a big step into the hockey world as u already have made a giant step!

You are a TRUE HOCKEY LEGEND!

LOVE U SOOO MUCH XXX

[XxFlyerzFan2716xX]

its like at that moment nobody knew that he will be dead in less that a year.the rangers probably had great plans with him,he would have made it so big-R.I.P dude

[bodomfan94]

was that guy next to him a finnish player called nicklas lucenius

[randyorton52]

rip he was a great young prospect

[giaconn1129]

I'm not a Rangers Fan but Cherepanovs death was a tragic loss.  R.I.P. Alexei you will be missed like Luc.

[damyoudude]

r.i.p cherepanov

[Firemat]

rip alexei..no matter what went on..no matter who thinks what of this kid..respect needs to be paid..by commenting politely...the kid passed on guys

[Josh10Duncan]

RIP :(

[tiptopluongo]

R.I.P Alexei. :(

[seanmlb]

RIP Alexei Cherepanov, you were a great players. rangers are gonna win the cup for you this year big guy!

[shutupbi]

ya they will!

[engameg]

R.I.P

[Nwildchild]

At least he got to play with Jagr, that was his dream.

[Nwildchild]

Doesnt it seem a little strange how he ended up being chosen to the rangers, and the foreseeing by the announcers...it all seems to coincidental he ended up beside Jagr when he left us.

[skateaa1]

ya but how do u fix a death?

[brianmccob]

i didnt mean to sound like a fag saying only in the usa but i read the report and it say there wasnt an ambulance of a difiblular on hand at the time of the incident

[brianmccob]

it is a shame because if this happened in the usa he may have lived like we saw with fischer on the redwings very sad

RIP

[CWebb401]

jproducts you are a LOWLIFE. ROFL are you kidding me? Instead of using your time posting asinine comments on youtube, maybe you should take a few moments and reflect on what really matters in life. This is very devastating news, as this kid not only was a hell of a player but also seemed to be a wonderful person. Even though he never played for NY I will always consider him a Ranger. RIP Alexei

[jonlscott]

he was so happy, ts so sad

[dontresistme]

dude.. he died doing what he loved

[korvallaForsell]

RIP Cherepanov

[SJU06]

RIP Cherepanov. He would have been a special player. The "go to hell" comment was in response to jproducts.

[NorMyco]

RIP

[jproducts]

i bet they wish they could go back to this moment in time and pick someone else!! ROFL!

[oviesidgino88771]

are you kidding me? this is a huge tragedy and your laughing????

[jproducts]

its true man if they could go back in time theres no way they would pick him and thats the truth!

[SJU06]

Go to hell asshole.

[jproducts]

what? are you actually implying they would have made the same decision had they known his ass would be dead in a year? Fuck no!

[RandallRitchey]

What is wrong with you? This kid had a hell of a career in front of him. It is a tragedy that he is gone. No one knew that this was going to happen and I lay money that the Rangers haven't even thought, "Hey, maybe we shouldn't have picked him." You've got to be kidding me! RIP Cherry. You will be missed by all hockey fans around the world. You were a great talent. Have fun playing with the boys in Heaven.

[jonlscott]

you my friend are an ignorent and crule prick

[jproducts]

what is aid is the truth, and you can't deny that that staement is true.

[krazeeklown]

;(  RIP....

[PurpleMushroom333]

nobody caused his death, he was a hockey player with a medical condition.. the ambulance left the scene early and there was no defibrillator.

[gomets83]

Classic case of the old saying the good die young, may he rest in peace and god bless his family

[NYRNYM9486]

I remember watching this. I went ballistic! I was so happy. From picks 9-16, I was on the edge of my seat. Once the 16th pick slid, I was thinking the Rangers would swipe him up, and they did.

Now, to think hes dead, I mean, its a tragedy.

[tpp27]

SUCH A TRAGEDY. REST IN PEACE ALEXEI.

[rodz0r]

i remember watching this. rip.

[russianrocket2]

Jagr didn't cause his death he had a heart problem, RIP Alexei

[sarahpalinforvp]

RIP <3

[gosabres08]

its so strange, he gets drafted by NYR and gets to play with his favorite player Jaromir Jagr. Jagr retires and joins his KHL team, and now Jagr may have caused his death, unintentionally of course. What a terrible tragedy

[NYRx0h]

R.I.P Alexei Cherepanov...i was looking foward to watching you play for the Rangers<3

[mbbrennan]

RIP

[willbusch]

well this goes to show u ull never know or how ur gonna die...19 heart attack...personally i think he have been tryin to do too much...during the game.

[AmyE513]

I agree he left way too soon. RIP Alexei..

[inklinkinklink]

RIP young man. You left too soon.

[Twu93]

Rip too young :'(

[bro0da]

[yannickfb]

RIP Alexei, At least you had the chance to play with your idol...

[LEAFFANFORLIFE]

[culverslad]

RIP i could cry

[Hannoi]

Horrible thing to happen. :(

[MrOquist]

REST IN PEACE!!

[wilcojoe13]

RIP Alex, we love you

[PaulGarafola]

R.I.P. Alexei

[skyflame000]

Wow...he had an extremely bright future ahead. Rest in peace :(

[vidEvWill]

Yes, RIP Alexei, he was going to be the best but we'll never know how it will turn out.

[RogerRoids]

R.I.P Chereponov. You had a great future.

[friskie1986]

What an absolute tragedy. Rest in peace, Alexei.

[31Nibs]

y couldn't he go to edmonton

[userLOST3550]

great pick by the rangers, when he comes for the 09-10 season the team will be perfectly primed for him, we have made great strides to become a younger team and this puts the team in the right direction with him and the other young players

[Jeedian]

So true, I can't wait.

[Jeedian]

Yeah I think that is what will happen. The Rangers need more prolific scorers who can pump in at least 30+ goals. I didn't like their system of dumping the puck in and hoping for something to bounce the right way instead of generating goals. It seemed once Jagr was on the ice, they all stopped playing and just looked for him to score all the time.

[kaiserblade1]

Quack Quack Imus rules Quack Quack whiny baby's a fool

[kaiserblade1]

Quack Quack Imus Rules Quack Quack NY Rangers are faggot tools

[vidEvWill]

Hey...I always say it...you need at least one Russian or Czech player on your team to win a championship.

[Jeedian]

Wonder when he is gonna play for them, they need a good high scorer.

[kovalchukbest]

17.pick

[kovalchukbest]

this kid will be the next jaromir jagr for the rangers. he got incredible talent.its a disgrace for the NHL scouts that he had to wait till the 16. pick

[GrinddalCPH]

At 17, that is a steal!!!

[vidEvWill]

yeah, cheers for cherapanov...

[11DNA11]

and yay for the Rangers :) Finally a real goalscorer coming our way :)

[vidEvWill]

yeah, I think it will take a period of years...but he will be great if he justifies the Rangers faith in him. He also needs to get stronger, he's a bit skinny but he'll bulk up with age and time.

[11DNA11]

Well.. Hockey world lost a great player.. It hurts to see that he could've been one of the best goalscorers in NHL history.. RIP Alexei

[vidEvWill]

I'll tell you one thing you don't need an interpreter to tell you how relieved he is to get picked.

[oleosmirf]

actually Jagr is Czech but he speaks fluent Russian so its all good

[vidEvWill]

Rangers...good luck getting him to play here...he got one year left.

[vidEvWill]

Rangers...good luck getting him to play here...he got one year left.

[c1rca29]

RedGhoast is spot on with the comment below

[fettojafvel]

swedish elite leauge is next best ;P

[oleosmirf]

Cherepanov's idol Jaromir Jagr will teach this kid how to work and will take him under his wing just as he did with Petr Prucha. He's not Ovechkin but he's not Brendl either.

Best comparison is to Malkin

[vidEvWill]

Yeah he and Jagr are cut from the same mold, they are Russians and they toiled n the Russian Leagues before coming here...and finally...he had to wait so damn long to get picked!!!

[islezynkeez72]

wow...Jagr is a Czech not a Russian!!!

[vidEvWill]

ugh...there I go again...sorry, he is going to play with this kid with the Avanguard Omsk so he will be a good mentor to Cherapanov.

[RedGhoast]

The superleague is the second best league in the world. Better than the AHL or Swedish Elite League. It's amusing how a lot of Oiler fans and canadian fans keep saying this kid will bust cus they passed on him. This guy is going to torture them for years to come. And they question his toughness because some meathead western canadian goon blindsided him with a dirty hit in the Canada/Russia series. It won't matter.

[jimkay11]

Pavel Brendl all over again

[SquirrelBait]

An opinion based on what, can I ask?

[cornboy111]

Heh he broke a Pavel Bure record in Russia hes automatically good! :-P

[NYRNYM9486]

what a steal!

[starmo1]

fuck yeah!!!!! lets go rangehhhhs

[jelctumoicaliss]

A comment from Montreal, the fans Of Montreal are very Mad that the canadians don't pick Cherepanov or Esposito, Some fans will drop the Canadians because they are very angry that Timmins and Gainey don't respect that they said since 5-6 years!! I wish that you are happy that the Rangers select a very good player!!

[Stimpy44]

What a steal for the rangers! great pick!

[monkeyeagle]

The Kid looks overjoyed to be a Ranger!!!!And it sounds like He's another Wonderfully talented Russian!I just Hope the Kid hits the Weightroom a bit to put on some Muscle before He comes to the N.H.L.!!!!!

[Elau8827]

Alexei is so hot.

Anyway, I hope he plays great for the Rangers and that all the other teams regret not picking him earlier..

[Poeman]

i love this

[RedGhoast]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
