    Blackhawks great Keith Magnusson dead in car crash

    Keith Magnuson, a rough-and-tumble defenceman regarded as one of the Chicago Blackhawks' all-time greats, was killed in a three-car accident near Toronto on Monday, the NHL team announced.

    He was 56.

    Magnuson played for Chicago from 1969-80 and coached the team for 11 1/2 seasons. He was riding with former Toronto Maple Leafs captain Rob Ramage, Blackhawks spokesperson Jim DeMaria said.

    Ramage was injured in the accident.

                    Ya everyone should become amish.

                    How many of them are killed in car accidents?

                      WOW! That's a shame! And it's ironic that they were coming back from a funeral. I didn't realize that people got drunk at funerals. And it never ceases to amaze me that the drunk person is never really injured in these accidents. I bet Ramage is going to carry this with him the rest of his life. Very sad.


                      There's not a stone in my heart I've left unturned
                      Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
                      The only answer I found for all this hurt
                      Is there ain't not answer here on earth

                        Magnuson was "the bleeder". He never backed down from a fight, but he didn't win many either. He was a tough player.

                        I remember one game where Korab kicked his ass and he bled all over the ice.
