The Rangers had a moment of silence before their game, then went on to beat the NJ Devils 4-1. I'd call that a fitting tribute...
I would agree, I was upset that game wasn't broadcast on NHL Center Ice, as I would have flipped back and forth between that and the Capitals game.
Do you have your pictures ready? I'm extremely tired tonight, but I would use them tomorrow when I do my quick write up!
I do! The link's in the next post, but here it is again! >:)
The Cherepanov and Bourdon accidents are tragic, for their families and the NHL. The question is whether these accidents can be prevented in the future. Maybe better testing on the NHL's part for the Cherepanov situation and educating the players (youngsters) on dangerous activities such as motorcycle etc... Just seems like more should/can be done to prevent tragedies like these from occuring in the future.... and it is ridiculous how the Rangers are seeking another pick to replace Cherepanov. My thoughts. http://jib-sports-culture.blogspot.com/2008/11/tragedy-for-promising-rookies.html
