Awful KHL News

[sbb122]

news is reporting the entire roster was on board.

anyone know who the assistant coaches were? Im hearing former Canuck coach Rick Ley was an assistant on that team

I checked the Lokomotiv website and it only lists Brad McCrimmon as the head coach. I can't find any info on the assistants.

Confirmed by his wife and GM that Alexander Galimov is still alive, although he has something like 80% of his body with burns

its just everything this summer that has happened. makes losing anything in a game so petty. so much more important things to think of and be around. so much loss

 

[SLY]

Man, I remember watching McCrimmon in Hartford as a kid.

 

[sbb122]

Same here guys and girl. Just a sick feeling in my stomach.

 

[elocomotive]

Elocomotive sad for Lokomotiv. Terrible tragedy. What an awful summer for the game of hockey.

Latest report confirms the entire team was on the plane including Brad McCrimmon, Pavel Demitra, and Ruslan Salei.

Only Galimov and one crew member survived. Galimov is in a coma.

 

[4thstreet]

Just a tragic story.

Crosby's news had better be put on hold for awhile.

 

[mooger_35]

Unbelievably tragic... what a brutal off season for hockey.

RIP to all. Crazy.

 

[pixburgher66]

Man...some teams prospects on that list as well. Regardless of NHL ties though, just a tragic day for the sport.

 

[puckhead]

what an end to a fucked up summer.


RIP
