RR down before face-off, EMTs on ice...


MOD EDIT:

Craig Cunningham, the captain of the Arizona Coyotes' American Hockey League affiliate who collapsed on the ice before Saturday's AHL game, is in critical but stable condition, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett told reporters Monday.

Medical personnel attended to Cunningham right away, performing chest compressions and cutting away his jersey, according to the Arizona Daily Star.

Wait what?!

 

[tuxonpups]

Cunningham went out on a stretcher, collapsed before opening face-off.

Game is delayed right now, cut the jersey and pads off.

Players have left the ice, looks grim

 

[Howler Scores]

Saw that, so scary

Whoa, not good at all. Hope Cunningham is alright.

 

[Howler Scores]

Just postponed the game....

 

[tuxonpups]

Game cancelled, prayers for Craig.

Thats scary as ****. Hope he's okay.

God damn dude. Hope he's okay.

Sounds very like Brett MacLean. MacLean made it... hoping for the best for Cunningham.

Peverly, too. Odd that we've had two now. Scary stuff.

Only postponed. And(even though I'm a Sabres backer)best wishes for a full recovery to Cunningham.

And let's not forget Jiri Fischer, who collapsed on the Detroit Red Wings bench years ago when they were playing Nashville; turns out that was heart-related(and put an end to his career).

Same here..... Big Mac was the first person I thought of when I saw it on the twitter feed

 

[Mosby]

More info on Cunningham tomorrow as per Tippett

 

[Matias Maccete]

Damn, hope he's ok.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

The longer we go without hearing specifics, the better the eventual news should be. Tippett said that the medics got to him right away and that's the most important thing when it comes to these collapses.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Prayers for him.

 

[KG]

Hoping for a full and speedy recovery

No update on Craig yet?

No update on Craig yet?

Hearing it was a heart attack

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Fingers crossed for some good news soon.

Hearing it was a heart attack

I would guess it was cardiac arrest rather than a heart attack, given that it was a sudden and abrupt collapse.
