It's really upsetting. This has been one of the worst off season's for the hockey world, along with the deaths of Derek Boogard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak. I've been crying over this almost literally all day. Please keep the player who is still alive, those who didn't make it and the friends and families of the victims in your prayers, please.
