link Hopefully Alexander Sizov will make it.

Here's another article on the same. Sad, sad day. The optimist in me had such hope that he'd make it.

2 minute video of the Czech memorial. Patrick Elias broke my heart. link

Link Article confirming that Lokomotiv will not play this year. Seems right. Thanks for the link to the pictures Loo. Heartbreaking still.

Jesus....those 2 survivors are the epitome of bravery. I read this morning that doctors have put Galimov in a medical coma. His body needs all its strength to heal.

It's entirely in Russian, and it's 34 minutes long. I cried through the whole thing.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/russian-ice-hockey-plane-crash-two-survivors-flown-to-moscow-090811 I've been reading that apparently Alexander Galimov is conscious and talking.

I posted some pictures of Ruslan, Karlis, and Pavol in the Hottest Wing thread on the last page if anyone would like to see. I took them at games over the last couple of years. Not knowing what was coming down the road..... I am still sick at my stomach. I wish to God I'd never seen the pictures of the crash site.

What can a person say at a time like this? I have no words.....

I gave you the neg for mentioning a cause of death that has NOT been established. Yes, he was a fan favorite. He was my favorite player for the Predators. But for you, or any other poster, to start posting crap without a credible source to back it up....it pissed me off. Still does. And I'm not apologizing for it. If you want to start calling people out for being sick f***s, I suggest a look in the mirror first. I'm done. Show some respect people. A 35 year old man with 2 little girls is dead. PredsFanInTheBayouState, thank you for posting the full page ad that was in the Tennessean. I don't subscribe to the paper, and I couldn't find it online.

Whether anyone agrees with the statements, the fact that it's bringing so much attention is a positive thing. It needs to be addressed more openly. There's no shame in having any sort of mental illness. The stigma attached to any sort of mental issue is what the real problem is. Whether the NHL or the NHLPA agrees or not, dialogue is a good thing. Bringing the issue into the light is a good thing. And if by starting a "war of words" on Twitter or any other public forum keeps just ONE player from following this same path, it will all be worth it. Gonna miss you in Nashville this season Wade.

nhl.com link Nhl.com has it now.

link I'm heartbroken. He was my favorite player on the Preds. He always acted like such a rock star. Excuse me while I continue to bawl my eyes out.

link Second paragraph. Buyout may not be possible. Hmmmm......

We already had all these posted in the Hot Wings thread. LOL!!! You guys should come stop by. Then all of you would've already known what we've known for YEARS.

Predators insider Joshua Cooper twittering that Lombardi and Franson to Leafs for Lebda and Robert Slaney. Preds will never see the playoffs again.

My hubby, who is from Boston, is staving off a massive freakout by sheer force of will. It's going to be crazy here if they win!

I actually have a couple of friends that are! The person below me is getting ready to be in a wedding.

Wow...Not even to 100 yet? I'm at work and can't help! Hurry up people! The Sharks are counting on you!

Bless you for the channel info!!!

Ok...so there's 2. Lol!!!!

There's one in every crowd.....

Just a suggestion from one of the more "ample-chested" ladies... I would love to have one of the 3/4 sleeve shirts, but I would need XXL to fit the girls.

The Hilton across the street from the arena has a pretty good bar/restaurant. They have around 20 flat screens and should be showing the game. There's also a couple of bars on Broadway that show the games. One of them was the meeting spot on April 2nd for a Wings fan get-together. I can't think of the name of it, but it was mentioned in the Hottest Wing thread before the game. Hope this helps!
