For those who don't know a Russian hockey team plane crashed today. Longtime Red Wing defensemen Brad McCrimmon was their coach and among the dead, only others I have read were Pavol Demitra who scored over 300 goals in over 800 games in the NHL and former Red wing defensemen Ruslan Selei. I'm sure tomorrow more names will come out. Looks like almost the whole team was killed, reports of one survivor with 90% of his body burned. Very sad day for the game of Hockey.

I read about a Swede Goalie but didn't know he was a wing prospect? I'm sure tomorrow there will be a list of all of them. This after 3 NHL and former Nhl players committing suicide.

That is tragic. I heard on the local news here that one or two of the casualties were affiliated with the Grand Rapids Griffins.
