[Bone]

Rest In Peace Boo. I was hoping to see more of Derek this season and was pissed when he left the ice.

Sucks!

Boogeyman's autopsy did not detect an immediate cause of death. Foul play is not suspected and it may be 2 weeks before they know why he died.

Extremely terrible news to hear about any player. My condolences to all Wild/Ranger fans.

RIP big guy.

Interesting....

Boogaard's family donates his brain - NHL News | FOX Sports on MSN

That fox sports msn site raised a virus alert, some kind of java issue.

Anyway, it's good to have some benefit come from this tragedy.

One good thing, IMO, is that it will be very usefulnto have the brain of a guy who fights in the NHL at an early stage. Personally, I do not think this was a head thing, and if it was it was not CTE. it is way too early on his life. This way having the brain of an enforcer without it, this early in his life will be a very useful piece tithe puzzle. I agree that it is good to know that some good or knowledge will come out of the awful tragedy.

Apparently that link was already posted. My apologies.

This could reveal something interesting about career fighters. Look at guys like Riley Cote and Boogard. Probably wouldn't make an NHL roster based on skill but they use their assets and make the best of it.

A study here could really be the demise of players fighting to make a living in the NHL.

And the chance for somebody who is on the cusp and ACTUALLY PLAYS HOCKEY for a living....how about that.

I don't know about that. They found that in Chris Henry's brain after he died and he was only 26.
