Hockey

While we post things from across the hockey world (because we’re hockey fans), I think most of the people who follow this Tumblr, know that we’re Canucks fans over here. So, the news that Pavol Demitra was among the passengers who passed away on the Lokomotiv flight is something that jumped out at me.
With that said, he always seemed happiest, and, unsurprisingly, also at his best when he was representing his country. So, this will always stick out to me as my favourite Demitra moment, with his hands aloft waiting to celebrate with Team Slovakia after scoring an absolute beauty in the 7th round of the shootout to upset Russia at the 2010 Olympics. He entered the tournament as someone widely thought to have left his best days behind him… and outscored the likes of Crosby, Parise, Hossa, and Toews to lead the entire tournament with 10-points.
Rest in peace.
