Vancouver Canucks rookie defenseman Luc Bourdon passed away yesterday after crashing his motorcycle into an oncoming truck.
This is another unfortunate addition to the growing list of young athletes who ended their career or lost their life in a car or motorcycle accident.

I just really want the Penguins to lose.
The NHL finally gets a Stanley Cup Finals between two major teams that non hockey fans might actually watch.

It’s so sad…

…having to watch all these Flyers fans around me go through the same thing I went through a week ago.
