I also wish there was an update on that one surviving crew member.I'm not sure I agree Habsfan, burns on 80% of the body is a hellish experience, if they are able to manage his pain and some how let him live a normal life than I hope he makes it, but I can't imagine a worse living circumstance if they can't. I mean its going to be tough mentally when he gets out of his coma, and if he has to live in constant pain I don't want to see him go through that. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me wants to see him live, but the other part of me knows that it would be hell for him to live the rest of his life in agony. It's a situation in which I have mixed emotions.Also...The one player who was cut from the flight speaks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hung on as long as he could but 90% burns are just not very survivable. Terrible tragedy. Now we just need to hope the flight engineer hangs on. http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/6960576/alexander-galimov-only-player-survive-russian-plane-crash-dies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvrdgsfn Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Maybe now this is a time to heal the rift between leagues. According to president Medvedev http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/6965566/khl-president-looks-boost-nhl-ties-lokomotiv-plane-crashMOSCOW -- The sense of shared grief after a plane crash that took the lives of 28 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl players could improve relations with the NHL, Continental Hockey League president Alexander Medvedev said Tuesday."I would like very much for this to be no mere surge of emotion, but that we move in step with each other," Medvedev said.He plans to soon meet with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to discuss how the two leagues can cooperate better."This was a tragedy for the entire family of hockey. Now we will consider our differences with the NHL in quite a different light," Medvedev said in a statement on the KHL website. "Through cooperation, we will ensure that hockey is made better than is possible when we are divided or in isolation." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korkie Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Here is the NHL plan. It came out in the Coyotes filings. Its horrible to consider a plane crash wipes out an entire NHL team but the league has thought about it nonetheless.Thats why the league requires teams to have a $1-million (all figures US) insurance policy on each player, one of the provisos in the NHL bylaws made public over the weekend in court filings regarding the bankruptcy of the Phoenix Coyotes.If a team is left with fewer than 14 players and one goaltender following some sort of catastrophe, the league sets in motion its Emergency Rehabilitation Plan.First, the disabled team would be allowed to negotiate to buy players under contract from other teams, with payment coming from the insurance money.If that didnt fill out the roster, a draft would be held, much like an expansion draft. Teams could protect 10 players and one goalie.The disabled team would be allowed to take no more than one player from each of the other teams. The price for each player is $1 million in insurance money.http://www.metronews.ca/edmonton/sports/article/241904--nhl-bylaws-cover-worst-case-scenariosI'm sure the league would postpone all games for a few weeks out of respect for those who passed away and to allow time in order to re-stock the rosters. I'm guessing all the leagues have a similar plan in place.Thanks, jkrdevil. This is interesting.
