Offsides
(Props to Monty)
Former Chicago Blackhawk tough guy Keith Magnuson was killed in a three-car accident when the car in which he was riding, driven by former Toronto Maple Leaf Rob Ramage crossed over a median and hit an oncoming car in suburban Toronto. Ramage had been drinking and was charged with "impaired driving causing death," a charge that could keep him on ice for life. Ironically, Magnuson and Ramage were returning from the funeral of yet another former NHLer (because you can't swing a dead defenseman in Toronto without hitting an ex-hockey player) Keith McCreary, who helped form the NHL Alumni Association. And really, what better way to pay your respects than to get drunk at a funeral and kill someone? A two-time NHL All-Star, in 2001 Magnuson was named to the Blackhawks 75th Anniversary team, high praise from a team that has won 1 Stanley Cup in the last 66 years and for three seasons in the 1960s featured a horse on skates as a right winger.
