So here I am, feeling good about the Bruins win, when I see I've got mail. It's from the sister of a friend who I haven't seen in over 30 years, but I reconnected with his sister on Facebook less than a month ago. Her 20 y/o son passed away unexpectedly this past Sunday. hockey just doesn't seem too important right now.

Always wish I could think of that perfect thing to say when I hear of a friend's tragedy. Very difficult. I hope you can find some comforting words, Wayne.

Keeping you and your friends in my prayers man, and the other Hooplans. Things like this put wins and losses in perspective.

I am so sorry to hear that Wayne. The thought of losing a child chills me. I have had dreams of of that happening it wakes me up in a cold sweat and I go check on my kids.

Sorry to hear this, fellas. Stay positive and strong for others that may need your support.

I'm going to give my kids extra long hugs today. Maybe we can all take a little extra time for loved ones...
