The right call was made to postpone the game after this horrific incident. There's no need to continue on after just about everyone was visibly shaken up (at least on the Blues' side based on the video) in wake of what had happened.
Our thoughts are certainly with Bouwmeester, his loved ones, and his teammates as this emergency gets sorted out. Stay tuned for updates.
