Nothing warms my heart like when an opposing member of the team you're playing against frantically waving medical staff on to the ice to ensure that you are okay and being help. I love seeing people get crushed against the glass but I also love seeing people helps those when they need it
Marchand would have tried stomp on his neck with his skate when he was down when nobody was looking. 99% of the NHL are decent guys, some of them not so much.
Lol... Does this really need to he said? As if a doctor would consider not helping and letting someone die, because his loyalty to his team would be questioned.
He passed out due to a chest cold that he had. He was dehydrated by the cold (which lowers your blood pressure and speeds up your heart rate when you are dehydrated) and also the medication he was taking for the cold had antihistamines in it also accelerates heart rate, dehydrates you, and also lowers blood pressure due to the sedating affect. Add that to the fact his physical stress he was under and it caused a drop in his blood pressure that caused him to faint.
This is a reminder to all of us that it's just a game, and there are things that matter more than that. I can't even imagine what his family felt when they saw it happen. I hope its nothing too serious and Michael recovers soon.
I remember watching this live. Been a flyers fan my whole life and it was heart stopping not knowing “did our goalkeeper just die?” I saw him moving and i breathed a sigh of relief. Happy to know he was okay.
So relieved he's alright. Feeling for him, I almost collapsed after my last game - I wasn't planned to even play, was battling the tail end of an infection and our starter told me an hour before the game he wasn't coming and neither was his backup. My blood sugar crushed during the game and I couldn't even undress by myself. It's so scary when your body betrays you. I can't even imagine how bad it was for him, not even getting off the ice under his own power.
You know what I like about this sport the fact that if something serious happens on the not only does the respective teams trainer go out on the ice but the opposing teams staff respond to in the moment they’re not enemies or opponents they’re just fellow human beings
Man ever since Jiri Fischer's heart attack I always imagined the worst when seeing these things happen. I remember seeing the footage of Fischer's heart attack and I was shocked. Scary shit. I hope this guy is ok and cleared to play again soon!
Steve Mason was very sick, so that's why he didn't start this game. It was definitely something floating around the locker room because it was reported that Neuvirth wasn't feeling well at all before the game started, but he had no choice but to suit up and get to the net, thinking, hoping and praying that he'd be able to fight through it. Turns out that as soon as he went into the typical goalie stance during the time of the faceoff, everything just went dark, the lights got blurry, and boom. He fell. This was taken from a press conference Neuvirth gave upon being released from the hospital. I think it was just a bad sinus infection, which can feel like death itself (speaking from experience).
It was a quick relief when the Flyers got Anthony Stolarz at the next sudden call up by the Head Coach while Sitting at the bench. Thank Goodness Michal is alright at the time. Yeah. those Goalie Uniforms do weighs a lot.
@@drmayeda1930 Normally on any Hockey team their,s 2 Goalies . Just sometimes Coaches bring in a 3rd Goalie for Emergencies. Should the Starters or the Second guy gets injured. But in every NHL Teams have 2 Goalies.
Hey-o, Penguins fan here, I know we're intense rivals and shit like that, but I sincerely hope that he was okay. It's _never_ okay when _any_ member of _any_ team just passes out like that. Stay strong, Neuvirth. You're a Flyer, and an Eastern Pennsylvanian.
I gained a lot of respect for the Devils' franchise from this. To see their trainers run out without hesitation shows how much of a family the NHL is. Same for the Devils player who motioned for the paramedics to come.
5:13 It happens quickly, but when the goalie drops, you can see the closest ref skate towards him. The ref only sees him out of the corner of his eye, and he begins immediately skating towards the goalie, but doesn't look at him. His eyes stay on the face-off. Weird, but something about that split second screams professionalism to me. Like he'd seen goalies pass out many times before. I would have stared in shock for a second, wondering if it was a joke.
It’s great to see the other team being concerned and worried, waving in doctors , and even having the opposite team’s doctor attend to the goalie. Amazing.
@Cheyanne Elizabeth rivalry's don't matter when it comes to a player's health besides Crosby but when a player especially a young one gets seriously injured or just collapses on the ice it's a huge cause for concern and most fans forget about that entirely
I watched him play in Hershey. Many times....and THAT is pressure. You got to have it wired together to play where you are expected to win. All the time. Every time. And he was great.....we invented the "Nuevy" chant.
A game is just that a game. I can't stand the Flyers as I am a devil's fan, but when it comes to this kind of stuff sportsmanship and respect take precedence.
I love seeing the Devil's trainer out there and even Devil's players called both of them over. Seeing two rivals care about each other's safety shows how much of family the NHL is.
I had a stroke about 10 years ago and that could be what happened to micheal, the important thing is to get to a hospital as soon as possible, a stroke knows no age limit and I wish him the best..
It's real funny the first time I watched Michal was when I saw this game live at a restaurant. I thought oh god is he alright? Still to this day he is still my favorite player of all time. I even got to see him at the flyer's carnival last year it was amazing!(not trying to drag) Some people say he is bad or that he should get traded, but I think he is just perfect being his 'little' czech self!
This has to be up there with the most classy opposing team and crowd reaction I've ever seen. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE being silent and respectful, only waiting until they know he's okay to cheer and only sparsely at that so he gets his bearings. That and his teammates jumped up just as quickly as the ref who noticed. That is a team who will do anything for you.
There’s a lot of shade thrown between different teams, but I’m happy to see that everyone drops the act and comes together to help someone out when it’s needed
So glad he was ok, also was heartwarming to see how clearly affected the crowd was as they went totally silent as well as both teams reactions. Events like this make you realize it's just a sport, even if you love the hell out of it.
That is absolutely horrifying. All is fine and all of a sudden, down he goes. No contact, nothing. At that moment no one knows anything which is scary. Even when he's on the gerny, he's still not right.
Hate to see stuff like this happen, but I love to see the quick response time, and the assistance from the medical staff and players of the other team. Regardless of where you are at in the season, it's still just a game, and these guys are still only human.
Anytime a Professional Player Collapses during a Game is very Scary & Shocking. In Michael Nuevirth Case. He would be Alright. Assumibly Coach of the Flyers said to him. Michael go home & Rest. The Team will play in your Absence. Get well.
This was on my recommended after Jay Boumeester had a cardiac arrest. And Scheen #10 has been there both times. It’s so scary. They had to revive Boumeester 😧
Hockey is such a mature sport. In the end, they are regular people and want to aid others, even when they are on the opposing team. This is why I play and watch hockey and it’s my favorite sport, like when you play 7 tough games and you lose, they always will be happy and respectful and wish them luck
Is he OK now? This is very scary and also very sad. I got a lump in my throat watching this. It's good how both teams care, though. That's really good.
I remember when this happened. Don’t think I’ve ever watched either of these teams before but I couldn’t find a decent game on and this popped up about 6 minutes before he fainted. I was SHOCKED when the camera just looked over and guy was just OUT. Good outcome all around and the medics from both teams are BEAUTIES as always.
People don’t realize this but the goalie is the hardest job on the ice imagine having to be constantly aware where the puck is while bending down and also if you let a goal slip in imagine how upset you feel with yourself...Also no breaks on the ice the entire game
I hope that poor soul is OK. I'm sorry about what happened to that goaltender. BUT it warms my HEART ❤️ to see how fast he got medical ATTENTION! The compassion of all the members of New Jersey Devils, & the sympathetic support of every fan of the Wells Fargo Center that night. 😢 😭 🙏 🥺
we were at the baby pens vs phantoms game and we were wondering why they pulled their goalie and left the arena so quick. after the game we were listening to the radio and they announced this happened and we got out answer why he was pulled. we might be rivals but still one big family. hope the guy is ok
@@kirstinna actually. It is. I've played with the flu as well as with high fever and colds and I actually always feel much better when I have my gear on idk why
That us a horrible experience. I have passed out like that several times in my life. That takes a couple days to recover and the PTSD that goes along with it.
