JBO did leave in am ambulance, I would expect nothing less.

Good news that Bouwmeester came back to consciousness, before getting into the ambulance for his trip to Emergency Hospital.

And the game has been postponed.

After seeing his last shift I will be interested to see what happened?

Game postponed by made up at a later date.

oh thank god

this is scary stuff

The looks of Dunn and Petros faces as they called for help, told you that they were scared.

Get better JBo!

Yes JBo, get better!

Probably the last guy you would expect to collapse. He's always been such a physical freak, able to skate forever. You just never know. Looking forward to hearing in the morning that he's doing fine.

Yeah. I'm shocked.

Terrible news, hope he’s okay and back to full health.

That's the great thing about having trainers and medical personnel so close by. It might well have made the difference.

Look, I’m just speculating here but didn’t this almost identical thing happen awhile back to Jiri Fisher of the Red Wings and he never played again?

I hope he makes a full recovery.

Also in Dallas. Rich Peverly had a known heart condition (irregular heartbeat) and collapsed on the bench. That was the end of his career too.

This is very scary stuff and i'm praying for Jay.

they said that about jim fixx too.

hope jbo is ok and recovers fully, regardless of playing hockey ever again. seemed like a solid dude.

If I’m Jaybo, I walk away with no regrets. He’s got a wife and a couple of young daughters I believe. More importantly I hope the Blues convince him to call it a career. There is no need for him to continue playing.

Didn’t stay up for the game last night and catching all this now. The video of it with Dunn and Petro freaking out, they knew it was bad. Just a terrible thing that could happen to any of us potentially. Crazy it was on the dad’s trip too.

Wouldn’t blame him at all, even if the doctors figure this out and tell him it’s safe for him to play. If nothing else, he should walk away at the end of this season, so he can go out on his own terms and not have an “injury” end his career. But he has won every team award there is to win - nothing left to prove. Great career and apparently a great guy. Good luck to him no matter what he decides.

On the brighter side of things...it is good he was where he could get help really fast and they could minimize any damage.

I saw somewhere that the Anaheim organist started playing "When the Blues go Marching In" as JBo was being wheeled off......that's pretty classy there!

Twitter blew up with prayers and best wishes from all over the hockey world. Some of our staunchest enemies chimed in. Good to see.

Yes, you could hear it on the broadcast. Nice move by them.

It should go without saying that his well-being is obviously the number 1 concern.

With that said, what will his loss mean for this team going forward? Do you just put Bortz in? Mikkola? Are they forced to look at the trade market?

I hope they give the kid named after the cough drop a chance.
