Atlanta Thrashers Goalie Ondrej Pavelec Collapses During Game

[allghilliedup21]

IF he had a concussion the day before, why the hell would the coach put him in net the day later?

[LovelyYTRocks]

@allghilliedup21 Because players like to play hockey game and often conceal concussion-like symptoms from their coaches.

[SJKhaar]

I remember this game. It was fucking scary.

[Super567Boy]

You Asshole Man Your So Messed Up!!!!

[avalanchesuperstar]

At least he's okay.

Also, this is probably the only time the fans gave a shit about their team.

[brodybryce]

your the dumbass.......its just a comment....RELAX

[littlesirenboy]

To bad they're going to Winnipeg... Hehehe

[vinieLTM]

Ondro makej stejně jako na mistrovství a budoucnost máš jistou:) super brankář

[brodybryce]

He probably fell down and hit his head on the ice hard.

[noonecfcf]

@brodybryce you are a genuine dumbass. He had a fainting spell. It takes a while to recover from a faint.and you can't hit your head THAT hard when your a goalie unless you get checked.I know this, I used to BE a goalie.

[poptropicadragon]

omg i feel so bad and we the pittsburgh penguins are play them tomorrow

[emily8315]

HOOOOLY SHITT. WHAT HAPPENED?

[charlieapeshit]

... that's scary. They have full physical exams prior to starting the season so hopefully it's somthing minor and not anything heart related.

[newman20072008]

@GoHabsGo0708 : i SECOND that

[selannekariya]

Wow, that's just...so very freaky. Nobody ever ever wants to see that. There's just..no words to descibe that feeling of seeing something like that happen.

Get better soon buddy!

[newman20072008]

@selannekariya : i SECOND that

[xwavestr]

It was from a previous concussion the day before .

I hope he gets better .

Thumbs up to stop people wondering .

[EdgeHeadTubeV2]

@xwavestr "It was determined after testing by doctors that the cause of his collapse was neurocardiogenic syncope, a type of fainting spell"

^ That's the official health report on him. It wasn't from a concussion, though it did lead to one.

[xwavestr]

@EdgeHeadTubeV2 Dude that's messed. : \

[ThinkBig7]

Flashback of Hank Gathers and LMU. "Athlete's heart"?

[Kikourna101]

Wow....  As long as the thrashers won for him.

[crazyclipsob]

@starfire1020 kinda but the real irony would b like "new scientific study find that golies have the best overall heath out of any other athlete!!" or something like that but good find any way

[hummlan1]

We wish you well.......fans for Detroit.........

[starfire1020]

Not to be a bitch....but anyone else see the irony at the ticker at the bottom of the screen at 0:49 seconds?

[booyyee]

@starfire1020 wow Nice find that's crazy...

[69Miniboy]

@starfire1020 it the medical staff who moved his legs

[callinator92]

my first thought was a heart attack or aneurysm

[puckSHOCK]

Wishin this guy the best, glad to see his teammates win that game in Washington for him.

[AirRaider56]

wtf happened?

[LiveInTheAtl]

Being here in Atlanta it's tough to see that.Hell anyone is always tough to see.I just found out.Hope he is ok.

[mikecgrimes]

I have a condition where I drop like a rock if I hear certain conversation this seems very similar given the way he indicated to the bench he was about to go down and the situation of being in a highly unusual situation for the first time in a long time. The amount of time he was down scared the heck out of me. If it's anything like what I have he is perfectly fine right now and although it might happen again theres no reason to be concearned.

[van1980]

@mikecgrimes You pass out if you hear certain conversations? WTF...some kind of repressed PTSD from childhood or something?

[sportykid10]

That is just horrible... Reminds mee too much of when it happened to Jiri Fischer. I hope he recovers and plays again. Would hate to see him stop playing the game he loves at such a young age.

[MrProfire]

I hate seeing shit like that. Hope he is okay. Thoughts and prayers go out to him.

[xMeAndMyBlackParadex]

oh my gosh thats crazy!

[waxmastawes]

probably exhaustion faint...otherwise heart problem

[okpapereat]

@waxmastawes i think heart problems you cant be exausted 3 minuits into the game. if you are then you dont belong the nhl.

[danocracy]

@okpapereat Not only that, they do physical exams before the season starts to make sure you are healthy and everything is working well

[AirRaider56]

@okpapereat it cant be heart because they do physical exams if he failed he wouldn't be playing. Its either stress (could be cuz he sucks) or something

[van1980]

@AirRaider56 Don't speak if you're an idiot and don't know what you're talking about. It very easily could be his heart, in fact it's most likely.  Athletes believed to be in good health die from heart issues quite often, although you see it more in Soccer. Stress doesn't render you unconscious for half an hour. Lack of proper blood flow to the brain does.

[AirRaider56]

@van1980 Like i said he passed the physical exam letting him play, it wouldn't be his heart unless it changed right that day.

But, as we all know now it was a concussion somehow

[van1980]

@AirRaider56 Remember the Detroit player who went into cardiac arrest after getting off the ice a few years ago? That went undetected as well. Juri something. Rhythm abnormalities can be spontaneous, and deadly. Even in otherwise normal hearts, it's an electrical problem. 

[AirRaider56]

@van1980 Juri Hudler.? never knew it because that was years ago.

like i said.. and every sports station said.. it was a concussion. so stop saying shit about hearts and cardiac arrests and shit

[Regoramma]

@AirRaider56 Jiri Fischer...

[AirRaider56]

@Regoramma he said Juri so i thought it was Juri Hudler the old center for the red wings. sorry.

[Andrewz2121]

@okpapereat You are honestly, a fuckin retard. "if you are then you dont belong the nhl." Holy shit, like shut the fuck.

[okpapereat]

@Andrewz2121 Oh don't be naive, i would not want pavelec on my team if he has health condition either he the doctors get him treated and let him stay if he's good.

[MrDirkdirkdirk]

@okpapereat they practice for hours before the game too

[gooch0runiey]

what happened was it exhaustion or stress or some thing like that

[hip27fan]

oh my god dude i really hope hes okay :/

[xobitchpleaseox]

@hip27fan hes okay now..hes at the hospital conscious and watching the game!

[RiMK5K]

Crazy. 

[rvdfan001]

ohh wow

[ssalmon13]

wow that is insane.
