AWESOME!!!
Looks like Talbot lost his cool completely, then got pounded a bit for his efforts. :lamo
Oilers/Flames tonight, both goalies got game misconducts. Never have I seen that happen...
Midway through the first period last night, Bouwmeester had a cardiac event while sitting on the St. Louis bench and collapsed behind the boards. Immediately trainers and physicians from both teams rushed to his aid, administering a defibrillator to restart his heart and bring him back to consciousness.
Ex Zamboni driver in goal for Carolina. They are beating Toronto in Toronto 6 - 3. The guy is 42, an emergency goalie. I hope he wins.
David Ayres, 2 goals on first 3 shots then zippo. Toronto got like 7 shots on goal the 3rd period. Good for him! Toronto fans gave him a standing O after booing their own team off the ice.

Such a great story: Hurricanes use emergency backup goalie against Maple Leafs | NHL.com

Although pretty embarrassing for the Leafs, but that's a good thing too. :mrgreen:

Thanks for the link - bottom line for me, this Leafs team is perhaps the most unlikeable group of players I've ever had the misfortune of seeing on a team I support. There is a total lack of character and professional work ethic with many of the most important members of the team and management has only exacerbated the problem by financially rewarding young players who've accomplished absolutely nothing to merit such rewards. This team is going nowhere and won't be able to improve for the better part of a decade considering the foolish contracts that will bind them for years to come. I'd rather be a fan of the Red Wings now than of this Leafs team.
St. Louis Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester thanked medical personnel for saving his life in his first public address since he was revived with a defibrillator during a game.
"It happened in the absolute best place that it could happen because of all the protocols they have in place and how people responded so quickly," he said Wednesday. "No. 1, they saved my life and No. 2, the fact that they could get on it so fast was very helpful."
NEW YORK (March 12, 2020) – National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman today released the following statement regarding the 2019-20 NHL season:
“In light of ongoing developments resulting from the coronavirus, and after consulting with medical experts and convening a conference call of the Board of Governors, the National Hockey League is announcing today that it will pause the 2019‑20 season beginning with tonight’s games.
“The NHL has been attempting to follow the mandates of health experts and local authorities, while preparing for any possible developments without taking premature or unnecessary measures. However, following last night’s news that an NBA player has tested positive for coronavirus – and given that our leagues share so many facilities and locker rooms and it now seems likely that some member of the NHL community would test positive at some point – it is no longer appropriate to try to continue to play games at this time.
“We will continue to monitor all the appropriate medical advice, and we will encourage our players and other members of the NHL community to take all reasonable precautions – including by self-quarantine, where appropriate. Our goal is to resume play as soon as it is appropriate and prudent, so that we will be able to complete the season and award the Stanley Cup. Until then, we thank NHL fans for your patience and hope you stay healthy.”
Great sport, but too bad they still can't get rid of the thug factor. Head hunting appears to be alive and well, even after all the suspensions and pay deductions. That crap ruins the game.
