Oof. This is the kind of thing that hits you like a punch in the gut.

I worked with Rob Ramage in the mid '90's on a Blues hockey post-game radio show in St. Louis, and I like him a lot. "Rammer" has always been one of the good guys--unfailingly polite, friendly, and good natured like so many of his fellow Canadian hockey players. He also usually has a good head on his shoulders--when I was working with him, his daytime job was as a stockbroker.

He's been charged with driving while impaired in an accident that killed former NHL player and coach Keith Magnuson yesterday.

That story just bites in so many different ways.
