We now know that the cause of death was chronic ischemia, a medical condition in which not enough blood gets to the heart or other organs. It is unclear whether anyone knew of this condition or whether Cherepanov’s team or the Continental Hockey League should have taken precautionary measures. From Mike Eckel of the AP:

The 1st video is Cherepanov’s last shift, which was pretty uneventful. FYI, Cherepanov is wearing #7.
The 2nd video is his last minutes on the bench. Warning: the 2nd video is disturbing. RIP Alexei.

The NHL and the newly formed Russian Continental Hockey League (abbreviated KHL) agreed today at a meeting in Zurich to respect the validity of player contracts across all borders.
The immediate impact of the agreement will be to put an end to KHL teams offering big money to NHL players if they walk out on the remaining years [...]

5:43 Brian Campbell just signed an 8 year, $56.8 million deal with the Chicago Blackhawks. According to TSN that puts them about $5-$6 mil over the cap. I see a goaltender leaving Chicago in the near future. Nikolai Khabibulin to the Lightning for Mike Smith maybe?
4:14 The Rangers sign forward Aaron Voros. Voros played for [...]

Folks, the Rangers were still in this one until the start of the third period. They looked dead right from the start of the third. They couldn’t get the puck deep and when they actually kept the puck in the Penguins’ zone, they couldn’t get shots through to the net.

After the refs swallowed their wistles for the second half of the second period and all of the third, who else but Tom Poti would get called for tripping in OT? That’s just what happened and the Flyers scored a Power Play goal just 9 seconds before the penalty was over. Oh well.
Now [...]
