jeh-see Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 So many familiar names, including one of my favorite Wings of all time, Brad McCrimmon, ALL wiped out. This offseason has been one to forget for the hockey world, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north dakota Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 It's hard to believe that all those former NHLers are dead. Woah! You think I'm Cody? My name is Carl Scott Simone and we just happen to share a birthday. BIG DEAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Pavol Demitra was my favorite player growing up. Not a HOF talent, but one of the best Blues I ever got to see play and a class act. I had the opportunity to meet him once briefly as well. I'm really sick over this. The shear number of people gone is devastating. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Horrific. I was just thinking about a week ago that it seems like this kind of thing would've happened in American professional sports more often. What's the contingency plan for say, the Jacksonville Jaguars, plane crashing and wiping the team out midseason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
