"New York Ranger prospect Alexei Cherepanov collapsed on the bench at or near the end of Omsk's Kontinental Hockey League game and died a short time later, he was 19."http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=252547&lid=headline&lpos=topStory_mainI always thought the rangers got a fucking steal with their pick last year.
another senseless death at the hands of russian stupidity
"Sources in Russia tell TSN that the ambulance that is normally at all games had already departed and had to be called back."Thank god its safety first in the KHL.
I just heard about this during the lolIsles game, truly a shame. He seemed like he was going to be a great player for the Rangers, and have a great hockey career.
>>402071Not only that, it also says that the defibulator at the rink might not have been working. Who knows, if they had better safety precautions, he may still be alive.
Didn't the rangers have a pick a few years ago hang himself?
This kid broke records set by Ovechkin, Malkin, Kovalchuk, and even Pavel Bure in those Russian Leagues. What a tragedy.

Man, this just sucks.

As a Rangers fan, I feel horrible about this. I was really excited and looking forward to when he'd finally play for us. He seemed like he was going to be a potential superstar and have a great career ahead of him.
