The panic attack rumors are unsubstantiated and sound like a massive pile of horseshit. The kid performed at an elite level in big games at every level. Even if they are true it was his first playoff game in an incredibly high-pressure situation in a crazy building and it hasn't happened since. There is no way that this incident, true or untrue, contributed in any way to his being traded. Again, shoddy revisionism to make fans feel better.
Funny how nobody was calling Cory a panic-attack victim who can't handle pressure when he played here.

It was probably what they said it was, leg cramps due to dehydration. Pretty understandable given the circumstances of his first-ever playoff game don'tcha think?
And isn't an 8-goal meltdown in the SCF a "panic attack" of sorts? For the fans it sure as shit was.
