Older news, but did any hockey fans know that on Sept 7 of this year, a plane crash in Russia killed 26 pro European hockey players, including former NHL players such as Ruslan Salei, Pavol Demitra, and Josef Vasichek. A guy I knew once joked that this kind of thing didn't happen more often... a plane or bus crash that wipes out an entire sports team.

“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

Oh, I was in the news recently: http://news.medill.northwestern.edu/...aspx?id=194662
I think most hockey fans would know about this. It is pretty sad. I was a big fan of Pavol Demitra.
I used to be a bigger hockey fan until Bettman ruined it with rule changes and the wussification of the sport.
Sadly, I only found out about the plane crash when I was looking up information about the death of Derek Boogaard. He was one of the fan favorite fighters in hockey while he played.
