Unfortunate reminder that hockey is only a game and that while we get upset if the team loses, we should be thankful for every day we have. I had a 35 year old neighbour (mother of two) succumb to meningitis last week.

RIP

?

I just remember how excited they were when they revealed the gender. As evidenced here: https://www.nhl.com/news/senators-er...ot/c-294128930

What is wrong with you?

Unclear from the release, was his son born and then died following birth (i.e. months) or did he die in womb or shortly after delivery.

To prove that they were expecting a baby? Good heavens, CP can get super sensitive (including me).

Damn, terrible news. My little guy this morning asked me what my biggest fear was and I answered "losing one of you" (boy and a girl). Both gave me a big old hug. Cannot imagine anything worse than losing a child. My heart hurts just thinking about it.

They did the gender reveal in December, so I am assuming that he is not alive in the womb or didn't make it past delivery.

I'm sorry you had a visceral reaction to the gender comment. This stuff is always incredibly sad to read about.

Absolutely heartbreaking news for the Karlsson family. Their son was due in April.

Are you interpreting Sureloss' post as "decided on gender", as opposed to "announced the gender"? If so, you might be a little too sensitive about the subject.

Anyway, awful news. Tough to hear.
