    OP – you have to do much more than just post a picture of him. What is the story? You act we are watching any news even semi-related to the Caps.

    Damn, loved Chris had season tics back in that era. Another ex NHL player died in Florida today jumped from a building apparently. Didn’t recognize his name 42 year old from Belarus played with the Pens 150 or so games.

    So sad to hear. I loved that dude when I was a kid. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

    Noooooo Fuck!! One of my favorites. I still have his signed jersey and game-used hockey stick. RIP

    Man, he was a big part of my fandom growing up as a kid. RIP big guy.

    I believe he was struggling with CTE symptoms for a long time. We’ll see what details come out, but the guy was really going through it in the last couple of interviews I’d read of him. It’s really sad.

    There was a story on former Cap Stephen Peat maybe five years ago on how his injuries in his career really messed him up.

    I had no idea that the effects of CTE had ravaged his health. Simon was essentially the Tom Wilson of his era. He could fight, hit, and score goals. That 1999-2000 season when he put up 29 goals and 20 assists was incredible because he was such a force on the Caps.

    Damn man. He came into the store I was working at in Springfield Mall back in the day. Couldn’t have been a nicer guy.

    Aw man… got to watch him play numerous times. Even skated with him. R.I.P.

    I loved this dude as a kid, went to the 98 finals with us.

    Unfortunately he’ll be remembered for that insanely egregious swing on Ryan Hollweg
