Neon_Matrix Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Why is it that over the past decade it seems every year an athlete or two drops dead from heart problems. I remember it happening in football a few years back and then it seems like hockey once a year. I had a cousin die of heart problems two years ago while playing a game... My question is why does it seem like it is more common these days than in the past where I don't remember hearing anything about athletes having heart attacks during games until recently. Could it have something to do with the kinds of conditioning which is causing problems in people or something with the diet or other changes in conditions of how the sport is played? Juri Fischer seems like the only player to ever survive something like this, and it seems people forgot about him because of that reason...

Don Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 i cant imagine what his family is going through right now, i'd hate to turn this into an nhl vs khl type thing, but no ambulance + no stretcher + dead batteries in difib and Radulov is determined to stay there? i just wonder about that. i feel for this kid and his family, he had such a bright future here or in Russia, RIP.
