EDMONTON, AB - Several Oilers mourned the loss of The Tragically Hip lead singer and Canadian rock legend Gord Downie on Wednesday.
"Sad news in the music world and throughout Canada," said Oilers forward Milan Lucic. "Gord is a big part of every Canadian's life. I grew up listening to his music, all his stuff was on the radio all the time. I know he was a big (Boston) Bruins fan as well and a fan of mine. Unfortunately, I never got to meet him personally but I've always been a fan of his.
"He lived a great life and he meant a lot to a lot of hockey players and Canadians."
