Hockey Hall of Famer Lanny McDonald suffered a cardiac event Sunday after returning from the NHL's all-star game in Toronto.

The 70-year-old wrote in an Instagram post Monday on the Calgary Flames alumni account that two nurses heading to their own flights at Calgary International Airport helped him when he was in distress.

"It's true that even tough old guys need help sometimes," McDonald said in the post.

In the stress of the moment, McDonald's wife Ardell didn't get the nurses' names.

"We are eternally grateful for their care and action . . . I owe them my life," McDonald said.

I grew up watching him play. I'm glad he made it through.
