Used a black and white Lokomotiv logo as my new FB profile pic. I'll keep it for about a week.
RIP

This video has translations, 18:39 is Vasyunov. The brunette woman is his bride, so sad. Rachunek is a couple minutes before Vas.

Didn't realize until now but one year ago today Vasyunov scored his first and only NHL goal. Happy I was there.

I have some good news.
Lokomotiv played his first match since the tragedy. Won 5-1 (2nd Russian league). They will be back in the KHL next year. They will aslo have guaranteed PO spot and be allowed to have 6 foreign players in their lineup. Nice gesture.

^ I don't think the survivor(if there is one) will EVER be "okay" even if he's 100% healthy.

Survivors guilt plus being in the cockpit will be a terrible burden for him to bare.

True. But obviously I meant in terms of physical health.
I agree that things will never be the same for him.

Time heals pain but doesn't erase the wound. What are they saying, my fellow Swedes?

Most of the players echo that Stefan was a warm-hearted, positive and funny guy.
At the end all of the players say "Stefan will forever be number 1".

We Devils fans are depressed right now, but have to remember that it IS just a game.
