Sounds like Patrick Sharp might be retiring too.

I wonder if the twins and him told each other of their retirement plans at the end of the Van Chi game?

Luckily the young man I know Is in stable condition, but the loss of life from this accident is sickening, all from a blown stop sign by a truck driver.

It was said:

"The bus was T-boned by a transport truck, according to the president of the Nipawin Hawks, who were scheduled to play the Broncos Friday night."

But it almost looks like the bus t-boned the truck right in the middle.

Either way it appears one of em went through the stop sign.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

I fucking hate section roads.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

The truck t-boned the bus right near the front, basically demolishing the front end then flipping the bus on its side and pulling the roof right off.

My wife’s family knows some of the boys families, my stepdaughter knows one of the first responders that was on scene. Both communities are in complete shock.

I think the phrase “thoughts and prayers” is definitely overused but acknowledging support for these poor families isn’t a bad thing. For those interested there is a go fund me page set up for the families involved to help with expenses! Quick search and you’ll find it no problem.

Grew up in Humboldt and what you said matches what I’ve heard, the semi flew through the stop sign and due to a bluff being close to the intersection the bus driver had no time to react.

The Canucks donated $29,000 to the fund. I hope other nhl teams step up also.

Colorado and St Louis currently playing a win and you're in for the 8th seed in the West.

Colorado up 3-1 on an absolute Beauty by possible league MVP Nathan MacKinnon, who has 39 goals and 96 points in nearly 74 games played.

Quick, start bashing Canucks!
