In an AHL matchup between the Abbotsford Canucks and the Colorado Eagles, 2019 10th-overall pick Vasily Podkolzin was flipped onto his head and began convulsing after landing.
It is a very tough watch.
VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED
Everybody in the building was concerned for the health of Podkolzin. The Eagles roster and the Canucks roster were standing by as Podkolzin left the ice.
Podkolzin was visibly convulsing on the ice and those in attendance reported it as well.
However, Podkolzin was conscious when being stretchered off which was more than encouraging.
Finally, Podkolzin made an Instagram post to announce he is alright!
Thankfully Podkolzin is alive. It is unknown how much time he will miss as a result of this hit but it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss an extended period of time.
