ajs510 122 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm just going to stop speculating at this point and hope for whatever the best possible outcome is. You can't really trust the information that is flying around, with translation problems and the Twitterati reporting whatever they come across as gospel it's just too hard to know what to believe. It will all come out eventually. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I think its definetely too soon to talk about hockey but I cant imagine what happens to a franchise after something like this.I think the main focus should be on the families of the dead and whatever can be done to help them cope.
