The team, who were flying to Minsk to play their season opener perished in a plane crash earlier this week. Fans and players came together for a touching tribute. :(

Incredibly touching tribute.

I have fond memories of Brad McCrimmon on the '89 cup winning Flames.

No, I just wondered why you would say you like this about the NHL. I wasn't intending to say you were happy about the deaths. My intended point was that other sports have done and do things like this whenever tragedies happen. It's not just specific to the NHL. That's all I meant.
