Ugh that's sad and frightening

 

[Romang67]

Hope he'll be okay. You never want to hear about players collapsing, and the CPR makes it sounds like it's very serious.

 

[Rebels57]

Jesus that is awful. Hopefully they were able to defrib him quickly. Chest compressions alone have a very low success rate. This is awful.

horrifying, hope he is ok.

 

[Clare2904]

Forget your teams result yesterday, today or tomorrow as its not important at all. Hoping for a positive outcome here.

 

[dechire]

Very scary. Hope he'll be alright

 

[Bruinaura]

The longer it goes without an update, the scarier it gets. Seems it didn't take that long to get an update on Peverley.

Jesus that is awful. Hopefully they were able to defrib him quickly. Chest compressions alone have a very low success rate. This is awful.

Defib only works if your heart is in a specific arrhythmia. So best effort is solid compressions, oxygen and medications (which have better success with medical teams in house).

Hoping for the best outcome here.

Sending out good thoughts and positive energy to Craig Cunningham.

Man still no update

Yeah, this really doesn't have a good vibe to it. Although, I hope that I am wrong. It's been almost 2 hours.

Scary situation. Hoping for the best.

 

[93LEAFS]

This seems to be somewhat positive news.

 

[DKH]

This seems to be somewhat positive news.

Yes - see him in your thoughts healthy

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Peverley and Cunningham. Former B's. Scary.

 

[Panteras]

I remember a few years ago when the Thrashers were still a team Pavalec collapsed.

Scary sight, hope he is ok.

 

[snopro31]

Hopefully he has a speedy recovery.

It was painful to watch the video. He's lucky to be alive especially with the terrible CPR that the paramedics were administering.

 

[Seedling]

Hope he is okay.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Blows my mind when these things happen. These guys are physical specimens yet this stuff still happens? How long did he stop breathing for? Gotta hope there's no brain damage(or worse)

 

[Sheppy]

Man, no update still? Sending prayers to CC and family.

 

[Mione134]

Still no update? Ugh. Prayers sent to him. I've always liked how he played even in his short stints with my B's. Hopefully he'll be okay.
