R.I.P to the KHL's Locomotiv ice hockey team..

Its very sad news..R.I.P. to the KHL's ice hockey team..

Stefan Liv was a swedish goal keeper from that team. He played many times in the national team and was a well-liked goal keeper.

I even got to meet him once, when his team HV-71 played against Djurgården. He was humble and very funny.

RIP.

[millahh]

Yeah, that is all kinds of terrible.

McCrimmon was one of my favorite players when I was a kid.

[Zydar]

A terrible tragedy

As Lynxo said, Stefan Liv was a very likeable guy and he was one of our best goalies probably ever. They will all be missed.

Stafan Liv was my favourite European league goalie..R.I.P.

I have fond memories of Karel Rachunek from his time with the Senators.  I was pissed when he was traded.

I'm going to the Avalanche home opener for Forsberg retirement ceremony and the Avs are going to do a memorial ceremony for Locomotiv as well. Salei and Skratsins were both awesome guys for the Avs. Truely sad and horrifying summer for the NHL.

[Icebear]

Yeah, Stefan Liv was great. No matter what happened, he was always funny and quite a character. I saw the ceremony that the club held (the one in Russia, not the one in Liv's swedish old club) the other day, and that was quite moving. I couldn't imgaine the whole roster of the team that I support being gone forever just like that.

Tragic...

[GuineaPig]

The last member of the team, Alexander Galimov, has died in hospital due to his injuries.

[jsem]

I couldn't believe it when I read this in the papers the following morning. Reminded me of the tragedies the life brings about

Grande Torino and Man U have been two similar events in the past, this should never have to happen.

[chknptpie]

Very sad to hear of his passing, still one victim remains alive though. Hoping he makes it.

[Zeltar]

Oh no, Galimov died? Damn...RIP. Worst tragedy in the history of hockey. I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around it.
