Dmitry Chesnokov
Galimov (the lone survivor from the team) has over 80% of his body covered in burns; he had a surgery, according to doctors. Neurologists are now saying Galimov (the player-survivor) is unlikely to survive his injuries even after the surgery. Docs keep fighting
Incredibly sad news. RIP

Can't even comprehend this. Pavol Demitra, Ruslan Salei, Josef Vasicek, Karlis Skrastins, Karel Rachunek all on board.
This offseason...

No words. And now they're going to investigate if there was any criminal activity, too.
What a summer.

Two former canucks pass away in 2 seperate incidents? What a terrible offseason for NHL fans, players, hockey itself and any sports fan really. RIP.

One of the greatest sports tragedies in recent memory and ESPN has barely anything about it.

I still can't believe this happened I feel like I am going to wake up from this nightmare. What a sad day for all hockey fans. I can't believe some of the names on there that are gone, seems like yesterday that Pavol Damitra was one of the best players in the game now he's gone.
My prayers go out to everybody who died in result of this, I hope the step up their regulations on the airplanes that they use. I heard they are not the best, Marc Denis said that he was scared for his life at times. Either way this has been one of the darkest years in pro hockey I can remember.
