Just read that, what is going on this summer? RIP to all.....

Former NHLers on the team roster include Pavol Demitra and Ruslan Salei and the coach in Canadian Brad McCrimmon. But it was not known whether they were on board the plane.

 

[physicx]

thats horrible...really, just horrible

RIP to all

 

[DeadsetAce]

what the hell is going on

RIP

 

[proshares]

Damn, not to sound like I care more about one player but Demitra was one of my favorites to watch when he was on. RIP to all who were on the plane

[philballa09]

RIP

 

[sosly]

WOW.

RIP. Ruslan Salei

 

[RyGuy45]

Demitra's agent confirmed he was on the flight and has died.

Horrible.

 

[hawkflight6]

That awful, RIP to everyone on board

 

[lvjordan238]

Not to sound insensitive to any other recent tragedies, but this one is hitting me especially hard. I can't believe this really happened. Can't believe how their loved ones feel right now. Salei's family/friends were waiting for him in Minsk too.

BTW Any word yet as to what caused the crash?

 

[frenchblue23]

Not to be a jerk, but what the hell is going on lately with hockey players?  
What awful situation, RIP to all the players.  

In recent years, Russia and the other former Soviet republics have had some of the world's worst air traffic safety records. Experts blame the poor safety record on the age of the aircraft, weak government controls, poor pilot training and a cost-cutting mentality.

 

[philballa09]

russian air traffic is a joke

Salei

Demitra

still can't believe it.

Anyone here buying NHL12 next week?

Not a fan of the new jerseys at all. Osh is right, they do look cheap and generic. NHL 12 will definitely be purchased when it drops.

R.I.P to those who lost their lives in the plane crash.

  

 

[scuse7]

Demitra 

 

[frink85]

RIP Pavol Demitra...a great King, even for just a year. RIP to everyone that lost their lives. Tragic.

 

[solemate96]

RIP to all that have passed in the airplane crash.

Seems like all it's been this offseason is death.

 

[j1goku]

damn Vasyunov was on there

....RIP to all the players that passed.

 

[sosly]

aw, I feel sick. Saw that photo of the body on the stretcher being pulled out. It was said to be Salei.

can't get the image outta my head RIP

Through an art store in a local mall actually. 

They sell auto'd jerseys, but that would have put me well over $1000 for all three. 

The Gretzky one was 450, Bure was 250, and Lu was 250.

That plane crash is an absolute tragedy. So surreal... thoughts are with their families tonight. 

 

[True Blues]

Still short 2 teams for fantasy...

 

[usedtobecool]

I'm looking to join a fantasy hockey league if you have any spots left. PM the info.

 

[winged wheel]

Anyone catch the Crosby press conference today?
