Looks like a Russian hockey team just perished.

My favorite post-Hull Blues player, Pavol Demitra, believed to be on board. Really sad.

Wow. That's terrible.

 

They were already playing?

[TruffleShuffle]

The team's head coach, Brad McCrimmon, played in the NHL and most recently served as an assistant coach with the Detroit Red Wings before taking the Yaroslavl job in May. Defenseman Karel Rachunek, Ruslan Salei and Karlis Skrastins, as well as forwards Pavol Demitra and Josef Vasicek all spent a good deal of time in the NHL. Forward Alexander Vasyunov played a handful of games with the New Jersey Devils last season.

Korolev and Karpovtsev also on board. Wow.

Perhaps it's not the right time, but I can never think of Karpovtsev without recalling this classic Pat Foley rant:

 

 

"My shoulder hurts..."

[Post Count Padder]

Really sad. My condolences go out to the families of those on board. Vasyunov showed potential for the Devils last season. We wanted to keep him, but he wanted to get more playing time in Russia the next couple years before returning to the Devils.

Too bad it wasn't the [expletive] Red Wings
