A sad sad story today for Vancouver Canucks fans.
I got this from the Times Colonist in Victoria:
Taylor Pyatt's girlfriend has died in a car crash in Jamaica, the Province newspaper is reporting.
Carly Bragnalo, 27, was killed Thursday while on vacation.
Pyatt and Bragnalo had planned to marry this summer.
"Today the Canucks lost a member of our family," Canucks GM Mike Gillis said in a statement. "Carly was a lovely and generous young woman who shared her spirit for life with our players, their spouses and their extended families. We will support the Bragnalo family, Taylor and his entire family in any way we can during this very difficult time."
Pyatt has left the Canucks and gone home to Thunder Bay, Ont.
The team practises at noon today before flying to Edmonton to play the Oilers Saturday night.
Bragnalo's death is the second tragedy to hit the Canucks in 10 months. Defenceman Luc Bourdon died on May 29, 2008, when he crashed his motorcycle near his New Brunswick home.
This tottaly bums me out as I'm a pretty big Pyatt fan.
Hopefully he will be alright and will be able to make it through this tough road ahead for him. We all need to show our support for him in these trying times.
Here is a nice quote from Shane O'Brien for his buddies fallen fiance..
"We all love Pysie in here and we're all thinking about him. It's just a terrible thing but, hopefully, he can get through it. Anything he needs, he's got 20-plus guys that will go through the wall for him. We'll get through this as a family."
