Sad.

Reminds me of Marshall.

A few former Preds Karlis Skrastins, Josef Vasicek and prospect Robert Dietrich are listed as on that team.

Marshall and Evansville.... Tragic and very sad indeed. :(

"We Are Marshall" kicked me out of blissful ignorance and about once a year now, I fear that for all traveling sports teams.

RIP

Due to my fear of flying, I wouldn't see that flick. (or several others that involve plane crashes)

RIP all those those that died. I know that tragedy strikes every day, but this one hits a little bit closer to home. I remember some of these guys from the days I collected hockey cards.

Unreal. Thoughts and prayers to all of their families.

Obviously now we know the entire team, including all of these ex-NHL players, died. Incredibly sad day.
