Ugh, just awful. We're expecting in April too and I can't even imagine how awful that would be. I hope the Karlsson family can find some peace and comfort soon.

Certainly possible. Against the Flames I remember being surprised at how disjointed his game was, I think i used the term 'checked out'. Although he had plenty of reasons before this news, I can't imagine showing up to work in such a public job with this in the background. Serves as a reminder to me that these guys are real people with non-hockey lives. Very sorry to hear this.

Very sad to hear. My wife and I lost our first child (stillborn at full term) back in 2010; now almost eight years later, it is still hard and you think about them virtually every day.

Even now (two kids later and another due in June), we still have a hard time getting really excited during pregnancy - we have just seen and experienced a little too much. Heart definitely goes out to the guy.

Was very saddened to read about this. Suspect other players (maybe Matt Stajan?) have been in touch with him if they've experienced similar loss. This is the one thing every new (or pregnant) parent fears most I think. Even for us grandparents it's a concern. Heart goes out to *anyone* who has experienced the loss of a child. Can't even imagine.

Things like this makes me glad I never ended up in the public spotlight.

Karlsson's a better person than me. I think I would have already ruined his life by putting Reddit on the case.
