scooter13 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Was watching the Detroit Red Wings - Nashville Predators game, and Jiri Fischer collapsed on the Wings bench. He is being taken to the hospital. You could see medics performing CPR on him. It is unknown what exactly happened at the moment, but reports are that he was hit by the puck, and possibly in the throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJR Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 As I said over on DH.N, this feels a lot like when Chris Pronger went down in the 1998 playoffs. You see a big guy like Fischer or Pronger that go down, have them doing compressions on him on the side of the bench, absolutely terrifying. These guys always seem so invincible.

scooter13 Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 Ironic too after watching Fischer and Pronger in those Dodge truck commercials.An update; from what they have been told Fischer was breathing on his own when they left the arena for the hospital, but it is still unknown is actual condition. It also appears that it was not a puck, after watching replays. Don't know what happened though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Wings are reporting that he suffered a seizure. Now in stable condition. The teams and the league are determining how the rest of the night will proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shumway Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'm glad to hear he's alright. I'm guessing he'll be taking some time off. A seizure could be something serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
