This is terrible news.

I didn't have the opportunity to go to many Canuck games but one that I did attend was was Gino's first game as a Canuck. He had just arrived that day (called up from the farm team at the time I think) and they didn't even have time to put his name on the jersey he wore. LOL. I remember the murmur in the crowd wondering "Who is this guy?" We soon found out and he became a fan favorite.

Damn, he's too young to die.

I will always remember his big grin after having a scrap. Also how excited he got when he scored a goal and how Bure was excited for him as well. While a Canuck he was the guy I always rooted for, not as a super star, but as the guy who always put that extra effort in for the team. He wasn't a leader with words or goals, but he was with his desire to Win and to sacrifice his own comfort to motivate the team.

Enjoy the time you have left Gino.

Damn!

Same here. He was my favourite Canuck (after Linden of course). It's sad that someone with such a big heart will likely leave us so soon.
