Tragedy in the KHL

Everyone knows what happened by now, and if you don't read this.  Just a really heavy story in a crappy otherwise NHL/hockey offseason.

Some local connections in the accident include Pavol Demitra, NHL journeyman and St. Louis Blues player from 1996-2004, and Lokomotiv Yaroslavl assistant coach Igor Korolev who played 147 games with the Blues from 1992-1994.  Both were lost in the crash.
