Atlanta Thrashers Goalie Collapses on Ice

A terrible way to start the NHL season for the Atlanta Thrashers.

A scary moments, Atlanta goaltender Ondrej Pavelec collapsed on the ice and had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher just 2:35 into the Thrashers' season-opener against Washington on Friday night.

With play stopped after a whistle in the Washington zone and just 2:35 gone in the game, Pavelec collapsed onto his back a few feet in front of the Atlanta net and did not move. Medical personnel from both teams raced onto the ice, and after several minutes he was taken off on a stretcher.

Pavelec a 23-year-old from  Kladno, Czech Republic lost consciousness and was taken to a local hospital for evaluation, but that no other details were available.
