i am not sure what to say about wade belak. or rick rypien. or even derek boogaard. it's not like i knew any of them. or particularly cared about any of them. even boogaard playing for the rangers still didn't make his death any more than a senseless tragedy. but i just kind of shrugged it off and kept going.
that's life, right?
but now i'm confused and sad and i feel like i've just been punched in the stomach. that's three enforcers we've lost in the past four months. one overdose, one confirmed suicide, and in the case of belak, the story is he apparently hung himself.
i just don't know, i can't even begin to grasp what's going on.
and i'm at a total loss as to what to say.
but i feel like i can't just let this keep going without acknowledging there's a lot of sadness. and my heart just breaks for the families and friends who have to find a way to cope.
i knew life wasn't fair. but that doesn't make this any better.
