A new film and a whole lot of tributes will honor the memory of Pavol Demitra this week.
Our countdown to the 206-17 season continues, with 38 days to go.
NHL fans love arguing about who the best player to wear each jersey number was. Ovechkin or Selanne at #8? Hull or Dionne at #16? Which goalie at #1? However, some numbers aren’t up for debate. And there’s only one #38: Pavol Demitra.
We are three days away from the fifth anniversary of plane crash that took Demitra’s life. 44 of the 45 people on board, including the entire Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team, perished in the crash just outside of Yaroslavl in Russia.
