Canucks prospect Luc Bourdon killed in motorcycle crash — TSN

The exact circs, we don’t know about. According to what’s been released so far, Luc collided with a transport truck. Vancouver blogger Darren Barefoot had a commenter post that there were winds and a tragic wardrobe malfunction involved, but that report is of course being treated by this blogger as highly unsubstantiated.

Just a freakin’ tragedy.

And for all the sympathy and condolences, there of course always has to be one fuckhead in the crowd comparing it in a sidelong manner to (in this case) Dany Heatley’s accident even though there is nothing at all yet released to suggest that alcohol, drugs, or even simple recklessness was involved. Good job sport, you get the Asshat of the Week Award. Hope you’re happy with yourself.

My sincerest condolences to the Bourdon family and the Vancouver Canucks. May Luc be dining tonight with his honoured ancestors.

Well that was better.

Just when I was certain that the Penguins were done, they surprise me by actually bothering to show up and win Game 3. Whether it was because they bothered to actually show up or the Red Wings decided that they had the series in the bag and could slack off (or, as Wings fans will undoubtedly put it, “decided to be nice and let them have a game”), we may never know.

What we do know is that when he needed to, Sidney Crosby did what a captain has to do and led his team to victory.

Game 4 on Saturday. Hope the Pens can tie it up heading back to the Nexus of Evil, so that we’ll actually have a series for the first time in two months.
