Ive never been to Russia personally but Ive heard that flying on a Russian jet is like flying in the 1960's.

And now I heard the number is 43 deceased.

Crazy.

Wow, what an awful story. Worst part is it sounds like it could have been completely avoided.

This is shocking...

An entire sports team has just died. All the roster players and the entire coaching staff. Its probably the most damaging disaster in sports history.

At this point I'm genuinely upset. Not sad or remorseful, flat out upset

Our hockey family has taken a massive hit this summer. Too big to understand or bear. This simply hurts.

Former Redwing Ruslan Salei just had a kid, too.

If anyone comes across a page that states which players were not on the flight Id really appreciate it if you can post it here.

Ive already read conficting reports about Demetria , Salei as well as a few others.

Crazy, sounds like the Marshall footballl plane crash that killed their whole team.

 

[MadCaptain]

From what I read it seems like the entire team and coaching staff, with the exception of the Goaltending Coach, were on the plane.

The only person still alive from the team is near death.

Just think guys, If Kovy had gone to the KHL instead of re-signing with us after all the bullshit he may have been on that plane. This may be a reach but we may have saved his life..

He better score like he was in the second half or those New Jersey fans might sacrifice him at center ice.

 

[kellmit]

Wow... this is the saddest day in hockey's history and entire team gone RIP boys
