Let's hope it is nothing serious.

So he collapsed due to the flu?
Who collapses due to the flu? Certainly not an in-shape 20-something athlete.

Sure they can.
They push themselves to the limit and BANG!
They are on the floor or the ice.
Any infection can potentially be dangerous. Could become meningitis which could have serious neurological impact. Either way, passing out like that ain't normal.
First, the reason has not been determined. Second, people die from the flu. Being young and in shape doesn't necessarily make you immune to the effects of flu, especially if you mix in fatigue and dehydration.
Flyers goalie Michal Neuvirth was released from Pennsylvania Hospital Sunday afternoon and is at home resting after collapsing Saturday night.
All tests on Neuvirth came back "normal," according to Flyers general manager Ron Hextall, and it is believed Neuvirth was suffering after-effects from a severe upper respiratory infection he's been fighting for more than a week.
