It was an incredibly scary episode as with play halted at the opposite end of the ice, the 23-year old Czech netminder suddenly dropped to ice and did not move for nearly 10 minutes. Team physicians and personnel tended to him before he was removed on a gurney.

An update on Ondrej Pavelec will be posted when one is available. Chris Mason is now in goal.

UPDATE: -- Atlanta Thrashers' goaltender Ondrej Pavelec has regained consciousness and is in stable condition in an Atlanta area hospital after collapsing to the ice just two-minutes in to the season opener against the Washington Capitals.

Thrashers' general manager Rick Dudley told the Associated Press that Pavelec had originally lost consciousness but has since regained consciousness and is in stable condition. The team says that Pavelec's vital signs were good en route to hospital.

UPDATE 2: -- Apparently Pavelec doesn't remember anything after the National Anthem. He also said that when he was awoke in the ambulance he couldn't feel his legs. At the Hospital Pavelec was diagnosed with a concussion but no one, including him, know how or when it occurred.

@stepbak91 I'm thinking the "dislikes" are from fans who maybe just didn't like seeing him go down. It's like when someone posts "My dog just died" on Facebook and you can't "like" it because it feels wrong to "like" something like that.
