RIP Luc Bourdon

The Vancouver Canucks announced defenceman Luc Bourdon passed away in a motor vehicle accident on Thursday morning. Bourdon was 21 years old.

Yes, I know it is not Isles news, but anything like this is just terrible to see. The Canucks GM made a statement:

“We are deeply saddened by today’s news and on behalf of the entire Vancouver Canucks organization, I would like to extend my sincere sympathies to Luc’s family,” said Canucks General Manager, Mike Gillis. “Luc was an extremely talented player with a bright future. He brought great passion to the game and was a valued team member on and off the ice. He will be greatly missed.”

He was a guy who I thought could have a great career. Today is a terrible day.
