Rich Peverley collapses on bench, game postponed till April 9th

[NotWendell]

The 14th would be best for both clubs, but I could see the 9th as an option.

Cherepanov's death comes to mind.

Along with Sergei Zholtok.

I would hope they wouldn't try to make either team play 3 games in 3 nights. That would be awful!

I don't think you're allowed to play 3 games in 3 nights. NHLPA and all that.

 

[Robert]

Lets not forget an entire KHL team (Locomotive) was killed in a plane crash....

I see Monday the 31st as an option for both

So technically Columbus can pull McEllhinney and put Bobrovsky in net right? Where as Dallas didn't have Lehtonen as a backup.

Depending on what day playoffs start. You don't want to be on short rest to start the playoffs! The 9th would give us 5 games in 7 nights but at least we would have a few days off before the playoffs.

It will be interesting to see what the protocol will be for the resuming of this game.

Sounds like they will go with a whole new 60 minute game, just with us leading 1-0. If that were the case, each team could change their lineups I believe.

The Hurricanes had that issue with a game with the Flyers that got postponed due to a snowstorm. They had to move another game with I think Ottawa so they didn't play 3 games in 3 days.

Cherepanov's death comes to mind.

That may be true, but there were also many unsafe things called out about that arena that do not happen in NHL arenas. It's not the time or place for that discussion now but that arena was not up to safety standards here in the NHL.

Oops! Missed that when I looked at the 30th.

Just a year ago the Falcons game was postponed cause Wade McLeod had a seizure on the ice.

The boxscore of the game. The Falcons used 23 skaters total.

No, I didn't imply that Jody did anything wrong and I'm glad he was able to be of help in a difficult situation; however, his inexperience in broadcasting prevented him from reporting what was happening to his audience. The difference in such experience was clear when Metzold took over, he not only conveyed the gravity of the occasion, but was able to impart more info. I'm not condemning Jody, in any way, just commenting on the difficulty he faced as a rookie in a very tough spot. Bill, on the other hand...

I saw exactly the same way, Pete

 

[NotWendell]

The audio from the Stars feed is disturbing. You've been warned.

The NHL will be setting a precedent here.... They better get it right because what they decide will be used in the future...

In a way it reminds me of the situation in Nationwide Arena when the fan was killed by a stray puck, the NHL was bold and added nets.... There were no nets in Sochi...

Per Dr. Salazar, Peverley was aware of where he was when became conscious and wanted to get back in to the game.

Unreal.

It was documented that the medical vans left the arena in the 2nd intermission and Cherepanov collapsed in the 3rd period. When the vans came back Cherepanov was already dead.
Nikitin was on Cherepanov's team then.

Brings back vivid memories of when Jiri Fischer collapsed on the bench due to a hear condition. He's alive and doing well these days, hope the same for Rich.

Game was postponed in 2005 when Jiri Fischer went into cardiac arrest during a game. I don't know what they did when it was re-played/continued, but there is a precedent.

Initial thought of some on #CBJ bench was that fan had invaded #Stars bench. Thought Ruff, players appealing for help from security

This is what will happen.

I was more worried about the balding guy that took the puck of the noggin first before it got to Brittany.

Full makeup with the score from the first game carrying over into the makeup game.

So it looks like a full game with the Jackets being spotted a 1-0 lead.

I did not recall that...... It would be the precedent....
