Jiri Fischer talks about the incident last night, as well as his:

Quote:
"The two videos are similar, except I'm getting chest compressions while being unconscious on the bench and they carried Rich into the locker room," said Fischer, before adding about watching Monday's video: "Scary, goose bumps ..."
Quote:
"That's what I offered to Jim this morning," said Fischer. "Now it's up to Rich. I know when something like this happens, I didn't want to talk to anybody at first. I wanted to shut down for a little bit.

"That first day is tough, lots of emotions going through you: 'How does this affect my life? Can I go back to playing?' It's a sheer panic. It's not easy to deal with."
Quote:
There is raw emotion in Fisher's voice, even today. Peverley's scary incident Monday night clearly has rekindled some of that.

"I really hope that Rich is going to be OK and he's going to be OK to resume life without any medical consequences," said Fischer. "Hopefully, Rich will be OK and will be able to carry on with his life."
