RIP Lokomotiv

Two years ago today, the tragic plane crash that took the lives of the entire Lokomotiv team happened. On board were previous Red Wings; former assistant coach Brad McCrimmon, ex-defenseman Ruslan Salei, and goaltending prospect Stefan Liv.

Any true hockey fan, no matter what team one is dedicated to and no matter what league, understands the meaning of September 7, 2011. It is truly a tragedy and affects each one of us in one way or another, be it a fan of the team, a fan of a player, or just by being a fan of the sport.

Today, thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims as they made it through this sad day.

Rest In Peace, dear Lokomotiv team. <3
