    It's great how everyone came together when this happened. Hoping one day he can lace up the skates again.

      Jens 95 I actually played against him while playing for Wayzata. He was a filthy player and I was absolutely heartbroken to hear the news.

    Wow quite a few Canucks showed up to visit Jack. The NHL will greatly miss the Sedins. Two class acts. JR showed up too, that’s so good to see. Really sad to see Jack like that but good to see he’s still smiling.

      @studeelo821 ปีที่แล้ว

      The puck needs to be able to bounce easily if the boars and either way padding won’t do much
