It really takes a stupid arse to write a comment like that in moments like this. Grow up buddy, have respect for a dad who lost a kid and go trash talk on another post. And that goes to anyone making this political, fan related or whatever you wanna name it.

I also send my thoughts and prayers to Mr. Gainey and his family. This must be devastating news to them, but I know there is still hope out there. There can be miracles, so just believe and let God take care of the rest.

Sad news, but they have officially called off the search. Prayers and thoughts to the Gainey family at this terrible time.

Well, here we go. I said it was a horrible thing and I feel bad about it. Not exactly the definition of insensitivity now is it? Now using my username as an attempt to prove your point and discredit me is pretty darn cliche and, as I have proven time and time again to several dumbasses on these forums, my username [no matter how awesome] does not make you right. As for your point that I don't understand why this is receiving media attention, you are completly ignorant on that account as well. I know fully why it recieves so much attention, the purpose of my post was to point out the values we attribute to people such as Bob Gainey as opposed to other people. That is all, I did not say anything like "I am glad this is happening to Bob" or anything insensitive; quite the contrary as I believe this is horrible thing to happen to anyone [as you can clearly read in several of my posts above]. So, in closing, you are a dumbass and I hate you. Good Game, Idiot.

Wow, thoughts again go out to Gainey and family. I worked for the Stars when he lost his wife to cancer. Another hard one for the guy. Our thoughts with you Bob.

Actually the Canadiens only affect people who are in Quebec, no-one else cares about them out of Quebec. The Leafs on the other hand have fans all over the country…

This is in response to gg_idiot's incredibly insensitive remarks. You obviously have no class and your user name seems to be a direct reflection of your character. I know that people die and go missing everyday but this tragedy is affecting many poeple, not just Bob Gainey and his family. If you had any idea what the Montreal Canadiens mean to so many people of Quebec and Canada then you would understand why this is getting so much media attention.

A horrible story specially around the holiday season. I sincerely hope that the mircale everyone wishes for happens. My thoughts are with you and your family Bob!

To HTR:

Thank you for posting these type of articles because they are hockey related and as Lint pointed out, if you want to see it, write it. But I must request that anytime there is an article with this type of nature, please disable the comments. There was a few on here that really disgusted me and even though it is not your fault, the site loses integrity because of the few bad apples that take up shop in here.

Thanx.

The announcement that someone was lost to sea was made before anyone knew that it was Gainey's daughter. The fact that it was Gainey's daughter just put the news on the sports pages, and thus, on this page.
