EDITED: N.Y. Rangers' Sean Avery in hospital with lacerated spleen.

Re: ESPN reporting N.Y. Rangers' Sean Avery rushed to hospital in cardiac arrest

Is there any truth to the rumor that Brodeur was dancing around and blocking Avery's entrance to the ambulance?

Happened in the 1st period, yet he finished the game.
I will never cease to be amazed at the guts of hockey players.

Lacerated and any part of the body make me cringe. As much of a punk as he was to my Devils, I wouldn't wish this on ANYONE. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

And the escort stuff? Not really sure it belongs in that story.

Now in the penalty box for SportsJournalists.com, Pastor. Two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct.

There's no "not sure" about it. It doesn't.

 

Re: ESPN reporting N.Y. Rangers' Sean Avery rushed to hospital in cardiac arrest

Without having any sort of knowledge about who wrote the story, I would think that the NYDN's news side added the sentence about Avery and escort service. That said, it's an irrelevant aspect to this story.

Not gonna lie. I read the crawl and thought we had some Len Bias redux going on.

 

Re: ESPN reporting N.Y. Rangers' Sean Avery rushed to hospital in cardiac arrest

Cardiac arrest and lacerated spleen are vastly different even though both are deadly.

 

Re: ESPN reporting N.Y. Rangers' Sean Avery rushed to hospital in cardiac arrest

Here's the NY Post story. Like the NYDN, they have the escort irrelevancy. More importantly, though, they have some details that I hadn't seen or heard elsewhere.

Let's be careful of those misplaced modifiers, people:

At practice this morning, Avery suffered the injury as the result of a hit during the game, spokesman John Rosasco said this morning at practice.

Glad to see i wasn't the only one who had deja vu reading that.

 

Re: ESPN reporting N.Y. Rangers' Sean Avery rushed to hospital in cardiac arrest

So the Daily News report of Avery being rushed to the hospital at 3 a.m. in cardiac arrest and not breathing was pure fiction? Ouch.
