Ruslan Salei and Brad McCrimmon were major losses to the Red Wings family. Salei was huge in the playoffs last year, and McCrimmon helped Detroit almost beat the Pens in '09 as an assistant coach. So many people lost their lives... so many will be missed.

Such a shame. Feel sorry for the rest of the team that never went. Must be hard for them.

Jan Marek went to this team just 14 days before the crash, he didn't want to go, he's got a 10-month old son so he decided to make some money for the family just this season and then wanted to get back to his family.

Not exactly about the events, but a blog from a chaffeur in the US who picked up a family of one of the victims.

According to LifeNews, Ivan Tkacenko(The captain of the team) has been anonymously sending money to a family whose daughter had leukemia, the 25th of December he sent them 500 000 rubles (12 thousand euros), and according to the lifenews the last transaction was made just 15 minutes before the start of the plane ... he helped the girl to receive treatment in Germany ...
so fucked up, a death of one man might cause a death of another person, I hope at least that he managed to give the girl enough to get through that disease, an act like that will never die
