    i was thinking the same thing. just got done watching his hilite reel of fights on youtube. man he was a beast. sounds like it’s some foul play the way they said on the news. hate to speculate.

    let’s not speculate.

    I heard about it when I got to the cabin. Reaqlly puts a damper on the weekend. He was one of my favorites. All I am reading about him is what a greaqt guy he was from those who knew him. It king of validates my feelings about him.

    I loved watching him play–always wished he would score a goal for us now and then—I was upset we traded him–sad to hear about this too!!!!!

    I wish we would have kept him also. He may not be a goal scorer, but he sure knows how to get the crowd into the game. Check out his technique in this vid.

    I liked him, but I am glad they didn’t match the money the Rangers threw at him.

    Sad to see so much promise leave us so young. Star Tribune is reporting autopsy determined drug/alcohol overdose was the cause.

    I am not ashamed to admit it ticks me off because this was something so preventable. Alcohol and Oxycontin.

    After a little research, apparently his substance abuse was a big problem. That’s just tough to get over.
