AndrewG70 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Since so many NHL teams have a connection with the tragic crash involving the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team, I'm going to predict that a memorial patch will be worn league-wide in the NHL this season (as opposed to individual teams wearing different ones).

Xodius Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Yeah, I can see teams wearing the Lokomotiv logo on the back of helmets throughout the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The Ducks, at the very least, have confirmed that they'll pay tribute to Ruslan Salei in some way for the upcoming season. I imagine there'll be a patch on their jerseys this year. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nation Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I can speak for the majority of Leafs fans who had a lot of sympathy towards Alex Korolev, who lost both his parents whilst playing for the Leafs. I'm sure the Leafs will remember Karpotsev and Korolev somehow. I would go as far as saying they should retire the jerseys #52 and #22.RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 If We Are Marshall was correct, West Virginia wore a green cross on the back of their helmets after the crash that killed Marshall's football team. I would think something similar (maybe not a cross due to PC, but that's another story) will be done by NHL teams.

nash61 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'd like to see just a simple black ribbon with the logo in front of it.

DaytonBlue Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I think whatever it is the NHL should have the same patch worn league wide. A sign of unity and solidarity.

NEW.ERA Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'd expect the Flames to honor Brad McCrimmon, be it with a BM sticker or what not, but it'd be very nice of the NHL to honor Lokomotiv this year, at least for the first month or so.

RedSox44 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I think whatever it is the NHL should have the same patch worn league wide. A sign of unity and solidarity.Yeah. Going through the roster, a lot of NHL teams have connections to Lokomotiv. It'd be downright offensive if the biggest hockey league in the world didn't do anything.As for the KHL, I imagine they'd do something a lot larger in scale (all teams wear a black uniform sometime during the season, perhaps).

RedSox44 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The NHL should at the very least have a black ribbon league wide.And it should be worn season long.If not, just another reason to hate Bettman.EDIT: I could see it being outlined in white or actually be a white ribbon for teams with black uniforms, like the Bruins or Ducks.

tubby34 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I say add a Black Ribbon outlined in White, with Lokomotiv across the ribbon. In addition, each team that had a former member on that plane wear his initials or number on the back of the helmet. The Panthers for instance would have 3 players on that plane, and include Wade Belak in it for good measure. The panthers have been hit hard this year in terms of tragedy.

STL FANATIC Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm pretty confident the Blues will do something for Pavol Demitra as well as Igor Korolev. Strangely, they both wore #38 for the Blues. Demitra's tenure was much longer and more prosperous, so his tribute may be more depending on what they do, but I'm sure both will be included.There some thought that the Blues should retire #38 for Demitra (he is in the top 5 or 6 of the major categories for the Blues). Others have suggested they simply "honor" the number in the rafters for both players. (They do this currently for #5 Bobby Plager, #7 Red Berenson, Gary Unger, Joey Mullen, and Keith Tkachuk, and #14 Doug Wickenheiser. Only Wickenheiser's was related to their death--the others are all still alive.)My preference is to retire the number for Demitra, though I admittedly would not have pushed for it without this tragedy. Additionally, I'm biased as he was my favorite player. But I'd understand if they don't. As long as they at least wear a patch and pay tribute with a ceremony. Maybe a #38 on the ice.I think a black ribbon on the back of the helmets would be a nice gesture league-wide.
