I was watching the Sens game last night and they interrupted it to show images of what just happened in Dallas.

Very scary.

Saw the video this morning...that's a chance all teams have a doctor on site in case emergencies happen !

 

And why the $%&% was he in uniform when he had a heart problem last week... ????

 

He was in the NHL since 2007...and they only found out about his heart condition last September ?? that's weird ! How many physicals has he done over the years for a irregular heartbeat not to be found ????

scary. I have always wondered about myself with all these players randomly finding out about enlarged hearts and irregular heart beats and they live relatively healthy lives as far as we can see

Pevs was one of the classiest ATL Thrashers we had. I was glad they traded him away so he wasn't forced into becoming a Jet like the others.

Some of this stuff doesn't surface right away. Even with EKG testing and physicals, you'll only get so many results and a majority of the time, they're good enough to clear a player to play. 

 

But ya, I don't get why they cleared him if he had cardiac related issues the week prior. Love for the game, maybe!

 

Either way, I was watching this game live yesterday afternoon while eating dinner... Lost my appetite. Crazy situation.
