I was just about to post it, hopefully it's nothing too serious.

Now to figure out why...

On another note, Thrashers beat the Caps 4-2

Hope he keeps getting better, and makes his way back to the ice VERY soon.

My thoughts and hopes go with this fellow...after what we went through with Jiri, I can only imagine what Atlanta's fans are going through. We're with you, Thrasher fans.

What a strange event. I truly hope that he is ok and makes a speedy recovery. Very scary to see something like that happen. What was the cause?

From Charlotte Observer:

ATLANTA Thrashers goalie Ondrej Pavelec has a concussion and remained hospitalized Saturday undergoing additional tests to determine why he collapsed in the season opener.

[Guest CaliWingsNut]

Released from hospital, still no news on reason for collapse.

Atlanta newspaper blog

[Kira 451]

I have to believe that the concussion came from when he collapsed on the ice. What the question still unanswered is: Why did he collapse in the first place?

[hokeychik22 17]

i'm glad pavelec is doing better.

Same exact thing happened to my buddy during weight lifting, and what doctors initially thought happened was a cerebral aneurysm. What he told me was it wasn't exactly an aneurysm, but a stroke for one reason or another. Rehab is lined up for the next 3 years, lets hope Pavelec is a bit more lucky than my friend.

good luck to your friend
