former players

[tnt]

Greg Johnson, Chad Johnson, Scott Dub, Marty Schriner, and Scott Brower all gone far too early.  I feel like I am missing a few as well.  Really makes you realize how short life can be.  My heart goes out to all their families for such early losses.

Sad news.

Way too young. 

Condolences to the family.

I was back at UND for most of his time here.   Not only great talent, but a class act all around. 

I remember Gino talking about him as a person and player, and saying something along the lines of wishing he had a daughter that Greg could get married to because he was that great of a person.  

RIP, much too young....always too young.

The guys on NHL Network Radio on SiriusXM were talking about how they were surprised that NHL teams would let their players play in this league and were more surprised that there are UFAs and RFAs playing (risking injury without a contract).

I saw a couple games last year. There's not much defense but plenty of offensive action.

Not sure if it was Stellick, or Simmer, or Kouleas, but as one of them said, "You can lose an edge in a no contact game."

R.I.P. Greg Johnson.  One of the greatest to ever wear a Fighting Sioux jersey, and an even greater person.

Our thoughts and sympathies are with your family.

Do the NHL network radio guys think that the players just sit at home all summer and do nothing? I would assume that all kinds of pick up games with no hitting are being played all summer long.

Cary Eades twitter posts pop up every once in a while in my feed.

Just a general observation - he sure likes posting picture of himself with his shirt off.

Putin ... Eades ... 

Both maniacal driven leaders
Both with five letter last names
Both like shirtless photo ops
...

Separated at birth?

Literally just heard this news...an absolute joy to watch on the ice during my time at UND.  Just an incredible talent.  So sad to hear this news.  

Thanks for the memories, #9.  God bless you.

I had heard this the day of his death and I'm amazed it took so long to actually get out. I wonder if this will be another case of CTE?
