So Rick Rypien died and it's unconfirmed but he probably killed himself and I'm pretty upset about it.

Obviously I didn't know the guy, but I pretty thoroughly identified with him in the scrappy-workhorse-who-struggles-with-depression way, and he had a great comeback with the Moose this season and he was going to play for the Jets in a city that loved him, and now he's dead.

I don't even knowhow to articulate my feelings, so here is a video of Ripper fighting a giant.
