"Alexei Cherepanov, 19, was a former first-round draft pick for the New York Rangers in 2007. The talented young man died on Monday night in Russia while playing a hockey game with team Avangard Omsk of the Kontinental Hockey League."As Latka from Taxi might say, "Russia is a tough town."

The Cherepanov and Bourdon accidents are tragic, for their families and the NHL. The question is whether these accidents can be prevented in the future. Maybe better testing on the NHL's part for the Cherepanov situation and educating the players (youngsters) on dangerous activities such as motorcycle etc... Just seems like more should/can be done to prevent tragedies like these from occuring in the future.... and it is ridiculous how the Rangers are seeking another pick to replace Cherepanov. My thoughts. http://jib-sports-culture.blogspot.com/2008/11/tragedy-for-promising-rookies.html
