According the first informations, Uchaykin after the hit left the ice by himself and passed the night at home, but in the early morning he felt sick and was immediately taken to hospital where he arrived in coma. After two days unconscious, he died at 04.00 AM this morning for a brain hemorrage.

When players threaten NHL teams with the KHL route I just laugh. There are many many more reasons than money to live in North America. I know things like this happen over here too. They happen there a lot more commonly.
