I know Pavol Demitra played on the team last year. Not sure about this year.

Brad McCrimmon is the coach of the team.

Demitra and Vasicek are solid. So much talent on that plane. Horrible horrible news.

On a serious note - do you think the lockout would have ended if it wasn't the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 (opening Sunday) and do you think every terrorist is just waiting to bomb one of these stadiums?

 

[Archie]

its a scary and sobering thought

seems like a lot of groups really have a thing for certain dates and anniversaries to use as terroristic activities.

Hopefully the Football teams will rally up citizens to help protect and sniff out any bombs or threats of harm to major places of gathering and travel hubs....

fok the police though we don't want any law enforcement/intelligence gathering pawns involved.... they are useless in this society

 

[HotBuns]

if it does happen i just hope its in denver or kc

 

[PuckOff]

Riley Armstrong not on plane.

[fiveteamer]

And also to the guys that were never good enough to make it. RIP to those guys too.

Very sad indeed! Brad M. was a solid player and person with the Flyers!

This is the main league (like NHL) of Russia?
