Boston Celtics @celtics 3h
The @Celtics organization's thoughts are with former @NHLBruins forward Rich Peverley and the @DallasStars tonight.
mabrowndog said:More on Peverley from Dr. Gil Salazar's press conference:
* Suffered a cardiac event, likely related to the pre-existing condition which he describes as an "irregular quivering" of the heart that prevents blood from getting to critical areas (i.e. brain).
* He was treated using "standard procedures" and regained consciousness at the arena. Asked to clarify the procedures: Chess compressions, oxygen and defibrillation. He regained normal heart rhythm and consciousness after just one shock, which he said was "a great sign". Rich knew exactly where he was and wanted to return to the game. Was also put on an IV.
Un fucking real.

Reminds me of the incident in Russia with Alexei Cherepanov. He had a similar cardiac "incident" but the KHL doesn't mandate defibrillators at each rink and they didn't have one. They performed CPR, but were unable to save him without shocking his heart. Jagr was on that team at the time. Devastating for the team when it happened, as Cherepanov was just 19 at the time.
Very happy Peverley is ok. Scary shit.
One of the interviews last night mentioned something about how seriously the league took player safety and it was obvious tonight. I couldn't help but wonder if it was a shot at the KHL. It probably wasn't but yeah. One of my first thoughts was about Cherepanov as well.TheRealness said:

Smiling Joe Hesketh said:I just watched the clip from the game on Deadspin and was actually shaken up by the players' reactions given how serious the situation was. And the way that total silence fell on the arena once all hell broke loose...chilling.
When the teams come together near the tunnel Horton and Seguin were talking about what was going on and you can see their concern for their former Bruin-in-arms.

Thomas looked quite shaken up as well, standing off to the side with his head down.
The Stars are playing in St. Louis tonight, but they just announced that Alex Chiasson did not make the trip because he was so shaken up by the Peverley incident.Smiling Joe Hesketh said:
I saw that too, later, and you're right. Looked like he was praying.
Jesus I can't imagine how frightening that must have been for all the players on the benches.
BoSoxFink said:Thanks for you help Waahington you bunch of bums. Pitt sweeps Washington in the back to back and is ahead of Boston by 3 points now with the Bruins having a game in hand.
Hartnell slid into Brodeur, which jarred the puck loose. That negates the goal.MoGator71 said:Remember all that "ooo Jagr" talk upthread? Fuck that guy. Created the first goal, scored the winner, 2-1 Devils. Also Flyers screwed yet again (I guess) by the "oh I meant to blow that dead" no goal, this time in the last minute.
I was listening, not watching, but apparently Tuomo Ruutu gave Steve Downie a pretty decent headshot. Shockingly Downie did not commit any retaliatory felonies.

Steve Downie is trash and shouldn't be in the NHL. I wish Ruutu beheaded him and stuck the head on his stick and flung it into the crowd.
The Jagr is a god, and you should treat and respect him as such.
Yeah, you just can't push the goalie into the net along with the puck. The ref was right there and VERY quick and decisive on his call.mikeford said:Hartnell slid into Brodeur, which jarred the puck loose. That negates the goal.

When I wrote "the ref was right there" I was thinking "he was in a perfect position to see the play." My bad on not being perfectly clear about that statement.Fred in Lynn said:I'm not so sure I would call the referee right on that disallowed goal in the Flyers Devils game. He wasn't incorrect I think but Volchenkov had a lot to do with Hartnell crashing into Brodeur. And of course Marty flopped around. But that could go either way, although I caution against equating decisiveness with correctness. Where they were bad, among other times, was on the meager minor against Ruutu for a Cooke-like blindside check to Downie's head and when they actually called Downie for highsticking when Salvador highsticked Downie. If they hadn't corrected that last one, it had the potential to be the worst call in the history of sport.
Thanks for clarifying. Got it.Pumpsie said:When I wrote "the ref was right there" I was thinking "he was in a perfect position to see the play." My bad on not being perfectly clear about that statement.

Not to fret, they always beat Washington but never beat Philly, who they now play back-to-back this weekend.
NYCSox said:Bullshit penalties on dives still the norm in Montreal.
And no call on a trip of an Ottawa player. What a fucking crock of shit.
MiracleOfO2704 said:Just once, I'd love to see their "strategy" backfire on them, but we all know it never will.
MoGator71 said:
Don't forget Lehner getting tripped (was it Vanek?) on the tying goal.
Ottawa has themselves to blame for letting that game get away, but Jesus Christ always, the shenanigans in Montreal.
Also gotta admire the Penguins, when one douche (Neal) goes down there's always somebody ready to step up (Orpik). Dirty reckless play shoving Couturier face-first into the boards.
MiracleOfO2704 said:
Considering the 2012 playoffs, Couturier might be safer sitting out tomorrow. He always seems to get run by Pittsburgh.
I think Bobby Ryan was trying to play that role. Two linesmen keeping him from the ref.MoGator71 said:Still can't get over that Habs game. I half expected Lehner to go full Hextall on any official in reach. Or start tossing milk crates.
Greg29fan said:LOL what a horrible, shitty team. If they win a game in the playoffs I will be stunned.
