Hope he recovers quickly, I do remember watching him play.  He seems like a really nice guy.
Perhaps 1 too many...?

That SUCKS!!!!


Erk was, and still is a blue collar, hard working, certified BADASS!  Also a hell of a nice abs quiet guy in person, as well as an underrated D.


Get well soon Erk!!!

Well, big John is 38, kinda narrows down which vehicle he was driving.
Knowledge is knowing that the Tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is knowing that you shouldn't include it in a Fruit Salad; Philosophy is wondering if a Bloody Mary counts as smoothie

"Oh bother" said Poo, as he chambered another round

Nice quality reporting:


"John Erskine was severely injured"


"The driver of the pickup was arrested at the scene and transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries"


severely injured but not life threatening....okay.


Hope the severe injuries and not too severe.  Always liked big John on the Caps.  He had that edge a quality D-man is supposed too. 
FFS - HIT HIM!!!
SHOOT - THE - PUCK
