Sean Avery of the Rangers just either had a heart attack or a lacerated spleen this morning. There are conflicting news reports. One says he was unconscious, not breathing and in cardiac arrest. Though Avery's spokeman said it was just a lacerated spleen that sent him to the emergency room. He is 28 years old. It sounds serious either way...

I hope he is alright. I have watched him and the Rangers play the Pens for 3 games. There was a game last night and one of the announcers commented on how he didn't look like himself. It's strange to think how during the game he must have felt something was wrong with him but kept playing despite it.

Then hours later he is in the emergency room.

Good news is that all the reports I have seen say he is expected to make a full recovery.
