Jiri

Scary moments at the Joe last night. Watching the game, no one initially knew which player it was, since he had gone down on the other side of the boards. You could tell by the players' reaction and frantic calls for an ambulance that something was seriously wrong. Then when you saw the doctors/team physicians doing compressions and CPR on the player, you were just terrified that the worst might have happened.

I've seen a lot of injuries and concussions during hockey games, but nothing as frightening as this. A lot of prayers went our for Jiri around Hockeytown last night.

It turns out his heart had actually stopped and he was having a seizure. Luckily, they were able to stabilize him and he was talking and breathing on his own by the time he was taken from the rink to the hospital.

Let's hope he'll be OK! Jiri's health is first and foremost. Let's also hope he's able to get back on the ice soon --the Wings need him!
