Bad Day Getting Worse...

Us Italians say these kind of things "come in threes" and today it is a bit of a doozy...

By now you should know about the Virginia Tech shootings.

Add in the sudden and unexpected passing of former Washington Capitals forward Gaetan Duchesne (whom we traded along with Alan Haworth to acquire Dale Hunter in Clint Malarchuk from Quebec) and former Maryland Men's Basketball player LaRon Cephas (who was a Senior on the 2001 Final Four team).

Early reports indicate that Duchesne died of heart failure, Cephas of a heart attack. Duchesne was 44, Cephas was 29.

Today is truly a dark day.

Prayers and condolences for the dead and their families.
