My deepest condolences to the families, friends and loved ones of all those who perished in the charter plane crash in Russia earlier today. There are no words to express the sadness this tragic event has brought upon the hockey world; no doubt players, coaches and team personnel throughout the NHL are thinking of teammates and friends gone too soon tonight. Somewhere, there are young families grieving their own horrible loss as well. A terrible day at the end of an awful summer for hockey’s extended family.
This is terrible. I’ve heard about these charter crashes before but this is the first time I’ve heard so many familiar names.
