Classy move by the ducks organist playing “The Blues go marching in” (Blues goal horn song) during this

Blues broadcast reports he is awake and alert on his way to the hospital

It's times like this where we are all just hockey fans and root for Jay.

As a life long blues fan, I can safely say I am now a life long Ducks fan. Unbelievable sportsmanship from both players and fans alike. Thank you for your support and compassion for our guy.

Just want to remind everyone that life is so short and precious. It can be gone in literally the blink of an eye. Please spread love and the message of peace with everyone you can. Hope Bouwmeester fully recovers and sending positive thoughts to his family and the entire blues team 🥺

I'm a critical care doc and this is everyday for me. They did an absolutely fantastic job in tight quarters. Trying to resuscitate someone in tight quarters and with all that equipment on is very hard to do. Those guys really need to be recognized by the league for that effort. They saved a life. It doesn't get any better than that.

his father was in the audience :( praying that everything’s okay

Usually I am cheering against St Louis since im a Chicago fan but this is one of those things where you set those feelings aside. I hope everything goes the best it possibly can. Good luck Jay

Bouwmeester used to come play floor hockey with my mom’s phys ed students during the off season. Always such a great guy. Hope he gets better soon

At 0:36, you can see Binnington put his glove up to block fans from filming the unconscious player.

Ducks plays “When the Saint Goes Marching In”. Classy.

8:15 - Wishing a speedy recovery for Bouwmeester, but I also feel bad for that kid having to witness what happened. Nice of mom to give him a comforting hug.

After the Jiri Fischer collapse, the NHL has done a very very wonderful job to get me the quick medical treatment on the ice or to the bench for an incident like this.

St. Louis Blues President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Doug Armstrong has released the following statement regarding Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester: "With 7:50 remaining in the first period of our game tonight, Jay Bouwmeester suffered a cardiac episode and collapsed on our bench after completing his shift. Thankfully, with the quick response of our medical trainers, Anaheim medical trainers and their team physicians, they were able to stabilize Jay. He was alert and moving all of his extremities as he was transported to UC Irvine Medical Center. Currently, Jay is conscious and alert as he undergoes further testing by Anaheim's physicians. We will update Jay's condition on Wednesday morning."St. Louis Blues President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Doug Armstrong has released the following statement regarding Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester: "With 7:50 remaining in the first period of our game tonight, Jay Bouwmeester suffered a cardiac episode and collapsed on our bench after completing his shift.

5:18 Great sportsmanship there by Holzer to come over and comfort Gunnarsson. ❤️

He went into cardiac arrest and is now awake and hopefully doing well

One year ago today - thanks to the quick actions by arena personnel we’re not talking about “the late Jay Bouwmeester” but the retired one. The rescheduling of this game was one month later, Wednesday March 11, in what turned out to be the final day of the regular season - the league shut down the season due to the coronavirus. Play would resume in late July with a best of 5 preliminary round that excluded the top 4 teams from each conference, who played a round robin format to determine seeding. 24 of the 31 teams reached postseason play based on points percentage (uneven number of games played)...Anaheim was one of the seven teams that did not qualify. The others were Detroit, Buffalo, New Jersey, Ottawa, San Jose, and Los Angeles. (Side note: it was the first time since 1996 that no California team made the playoffs.)

my god this is so scary. hope he’s okay

Wednesday “Update”: Blues GM Doug Armstrong will be holding a Press Conference with updates Wednesday afternoon after the Blues arrive in Vegas. Probably around 3-4 central time.

We are ALL on the same team when something like this happens. 🙏

I recall when you posted the "NHL Game Delays" video, there was a clip where the start of the game was delayed because the emergency paramedics were not in position as a major vehicle accident occurred outside the Panthers' stadium. Unfortunate moments like these make me realize why both teams were so understanding of the lengthy delay in the clip. I hope for a quick recovery for Bouwmeester, and I credit the Honda Center and Ducks staff for their rapid response.

This is scary. Hope he's ok, he went a full decade on a ironman streak, he's a tough guy.

prayers to Jay, his family, and the St Louis Blues. From a Blackhawks fan

Anaheim organist at 5:48 with a class act tip of the cap to the Blues. Nicely done.

This is a very scary thing

This was the scariest hockey game I’ve watched. Was watching, and say the collapse after the commercial break, and immediately went to twitter. Last i saw was he was awake and sorta alert. Hoping and praying for a speedy recovery. Game postponed for a later date. Hopefully Bouwmeester will be there.

Thoughts and prayers are with jay..families being a young hockey player my self when I was 22..I had a cardiac arrest while playing..had it not been for doctors in the arena probably wouldn't have been here today..though I was never ever to play again..lucky to be here today..

That was one of the scariest sights I’ve ever seen. Thoughts and prayers going out to the blues and jay.

as a dallas fan we can set our differences aside and pray for jay, much love from dallas yall

From a Bruins fan I have so much respect for the Blues and for Jay . I’m praying for him and his family . Wow this is scary folks 😢😢😢

good thing they didnt release a name until they were sure. Could be such a swing of emotions if they start guessing names with players' family/friends watching and whatnot.

This just came back in my reccomended. I remember watching this game on Tv. Scary Incident

It’s always scary when you see something that this happen you never wanna see this happen to anyone. I hope jay gets well soon and that it isn’t as serious as when he went he down.

Update: Jay is recovering at UCI and he’ll be okay.

I heard Getzlaf told the refs to call the game. Much respect 🙏

From a Pens fan. I really hope he’s ok. This is like that guy from Dallas several years ago. Exact same situation. Prayers for Jay.

Great thread people. All good people saying good things. Also love the respect the players and fans showed while the NHL doctors (true heroes) saved this young man's life. Peace and love to all of you and to Jay and his family.

8:20 - That kid will remember what happened to his right for years to come.

Jay Bouwmeester is my favorite defenseman, I hope to see him on ice again. His attitude, speed and offensive play drew my attention a decade ago. His character has kept that attention. Bouw exemplifies what I respect in a Dman. Dont tell any of my friends, signed Blackhawks 4 life lol

Imagine being a fan sitting behind the blues bench and seeing that first hand. Wow. I'm glad he's okay. That's some scary shit.

As a Calgary flames fan who watched him play here in Calgary get well soon jay Bowmester

Loved him when he was a panther and I got to see him on a nighty basis. Great player great teammate. Hope he is ok. Wouldn’t want anyone to have to go through this. Good sportsmanship of both teams and good job on the ducks training staff.

Blues fans have to be remembering when Chris Pronger went down on the ice in the playoffs vs Detroit. Looked fine for a second then collapsed with a heart arrhythmia. Scariest thing I’ve ever seen live on the ice. It’s the teammate reactions that always get to me. They know what kind of warriors they play with and when they see them go down, they know it’s something bad immediately and don’t hesitate to yell for help. Hate seeing this happen to anyone but especially Jay, just one of the nicest guys in hockey. Get better big guy!

Serious respect for the whole NHL checking in on him. Even SEDINS brought up Jay when their numbers were raised today.

Mad respect to the Ducks and the organist who played "When the Blues Go Marching In" during this. Mad Respect. Solidarity at it's finest.

Get well soon Bow! He lived down the street from me when he was playing for the Medicine Hat Tigers! he came and played street hockey a couple times when I was growing up. it was like playing with a god haha.

very scary. He’s okay tho

Thanks for posting this, I'm a St. Louisan so I only saw it on our local feed. Very scary. Sure hope J-bo is okay.

The reaction from the blues that saw him go down got me. Really scary stuff, hope he's ok

Glad when he fell he didn't slam his head into something. Hope he recovers quickly

Thank you to everyone involved in helping Jay.

Prayers to Jay! Sports\ athletes many times can and do become our hero's. They live out our childhood dreams in real time. Moments like this Bring fans from all over the league together in solidarity. Yet let's not forget the other hero's that not only helped save Jay ATM but affect our lives inevitably more times than we wanna admit. Thank you to the medical staff who are true hero's and professionals we all can look up to no matter the color of our Jersey or the number on the back! God Bless!

Hope he gets better 💪🏽

Hope he’s doing okay prayers are with him 🙏🏼

Grew up around Jay, one of the nicest humblest Cats you’ll meet! All the best wishes, prayers and love to him and his family!

Thank you! Prayers for Jay 🙏

The player at 7:44 mouthed "he was gone" & "he was dead" how scary to see. Thankful he is and was in good hands with all medical staff!

As a Sharks fan I’ve got to say, even with our differences I hope he’s ok and is recovering well. That’s a very scary thing to happen

Never good to see things like this happen. Just happy to see that they have learned from past experiences and he was able to get help so fast. Hope he makes a speedy recovery

Prayers from me to The Entire Bouwmeester Family! Coming from A Boston Bruins Fan.

Omg this is always so scary. I was just watching videos like this yesterday, and wow, it happens again. I pray for him 🙏🏽

I like how not only the medics showed respect but the players of both teams by being kind to each other and to the situation

I was actually at this game last night. They were doing a give away a few rows over from me and I watching them do the trivia and chasing people down for it. When it was over I looked back to the ice so I could see the puck drop and medical staff was everywhere. All you could see was his chest protector come off and people start doing CPR. The silent hush that overcame the crowd as we all simultaneously realized the situation is a noise I’ll never forget.

Get well! 💚 Kudos to the Quick Response of those professionals... From...A 🇨🇦 Canuck Fan.

Dude just keeps playing the pipes in the background solo time

Please be ok Jay...my prayers are with you and your family on a full recovery.

Stuff like this always reminds me of Jiri Fischer from the Red Wings. I watched that happen live as a kid, then a couple years later, he was in my team’s locker room giving us advice. Even as a kid, I couldn’t help but feel heartbroken for him because that ended his career. These guys push themselves so frickin hard, and sometimes it can eventually backfire after a long life of constantly pushing yourself passed your limits

Pray he is ok.. as a Dallas fan. May he get health and recovery.. he needs a lot of rest.

I hope he’s ok it’s the same situation that Peverley and Fischer went through

OMG I was holding it in but broke down when I heard the Anaheim organist play “When The Saints go Marching In.” Used for decades by the Blues as an anthem (but called “When the Blues...”). So classy. Much love.

Wow. I hope he makes a full recovery. I remember when Rich Peverley had the same issue. Sadly, he never played again. He's a good guy and a great D-man, best wishes to Jay Bouwmeester

I was at the game and it was a wild scene. Saw the players and coaches lifting up the bench. I first thought it was a fan that fell down into the walkway.

I was at the game. It was truly horrifying to see him just collapse. Everything seemed normal with him til then. Me and my dad were a little disappointed the game got postponed because we had seats on the glass, and this was a birthday trip, and I have a tournament. Prayers go to jay and his family!

A big thanks to the Ducks and their staff for their quick response, to the Duck fans for their understanding and all those involved with Jays care. Also the NHL for professionally handling the situation. And of course the Blues organization

I was an EMT for 6 years, I did standbys for OHL games in addition to high volume urban 911, you could tell how bad it was based off the fact that the EMS crews left their portable suction and LUCAS case on the ice. We didn't leave things behind, ever, and on the rare occasion something did get left behind, it was typically a chaotic call that you had to transport fast from. A player going into cardiac arrest on the bench is one of those times. Calls that have been chaotic enough for me to leave equipment included a double overdose and a pediatric cardiac arrest. Good on the team for saving him. And let's be honest, here, as good as team doctors are, they are typically not emergency trained and are no more help in a cardiac arrest than anyone else CPR trained. The medics are the ones who know the algorithms for cardiac arrest meds, the EMS crews on scene were the ones who did this.

The white lady hugging her son with the jersey and hat is my read 180 teacher ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥

I find it disrespectful for that girl to be filming him collapsed

Its scary how you can be healty like jay, Fisher and peverley and a situation like this can happen.. prayers up to bouwmeester !! 🙏

7:30 gave me cold shivers

Hope he’s doing well now

Anyone know what exactly causes this stuff? Like the only other one I watched the goaltender (can't remember the team) and they were saying he was sick before going on...

Not a Jay Bouwmeester fan or St. Louis Blues fan but that goes out the window when this happens. All the best to Jay, his family, friends, teammates etc. Glad to hear he's doing well and is conscious and alert...take care Jay and can't wait to have you on the ice again...a diehard Vancouver fan...

What a scary scene. Reminds me of Rich Peverly when he was with the Stars and this happened to him a few years ago.... As a Stars fan I'm sure I speak for a lot of them in wishing Jay a speedy recovery... That hits real close to home as a hockey fan....

Who’s here after Damar Hamlin

We’re relieved that Jay has responded to medical treatment, however, I can’t help but think about how finite our lives are. Take this very real situation seriously, our lives are but a vapor compared to eternity.....

Very scary...reminds me of what happened just a few years ago with player from Dallas Stars. Glad to hear that so far, he's doing better...thoughts go out to Boumeester family.

The single most best show of sportsmanship and respect I have seen

Prayers from Colorado, hope he's alright

Was the organist really just casually playing funeral music this whole time? Savage level 3000

Love the support from both teams

The game (a 4-2 win for St. Louis) would resume on March 11; that same night Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 resulting in the rest of the season being annulled.

Am I the only one who heard someone from the bench shout "HE'S ALIVE" or "HE'S AWAKE" at about 5:58? Damn, that's scary.

Can someone tell me what happened to him!

As an aspiring hockey fan. This was scary to see. Glad to hear he is awake hope for a speedy recovery. Always good to see sportsmanship at a time like this.

Wishing a speedy recovery. Glad to know his pops is there with him. Get well soon

Broadcaster: ‘He just collapsed. They moved the whole bench.’ Organ player: let me play you the song of my people. THIS IS MY MOMENT

Blues player can’t stay in place. You see they are in shock

As a Detroit fan, watching this is very difficultly watch. I remember what happened to Jiri Fischer. I watched it live and was in total shock. Prayers and thoughts are with Jay, his family, and the entire Blues organization.
