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.
