As if the hockey world hasn't been struck with enough tragedy this off season, we face another devastating loss. A Russian jet carrying members of the KHL's Locomotiv team crashed, killing all but one on board. Galimov, the lone survivor, was found with 80% of his body covered in burns.
@dchesnokov Dmitry ChesnokovNeurologists are now saying Galimov (the player-survivor) is unlikely to survive his injuries even after the surgery. Docs keep fighting
Many former NHL'ers as well as many younger players were on board. Pavol Demitra, Ruslan Salei and Josef Vasicek were all listed on the Locomotiv roster. The Locomotiv head coach, Brad McCrimmon was a former Flyers and Rangers defenseman.
I'm watching my Twitter feed (follow me on twitter @chelleyschoe) fill with updates, confirmations and people and player reactions. It's surreal.
