Obviously very unfortunate. Best wishes...

Puts things in perspective really quickly. My condolences to Jose and his family.

that is horrible news, I couldn't read the article, but you don't really need to, a 2 month old passing away is a massive tragedy.

Very unfortunate for sure.... Rough times!

What a horrific article to read. I cannot imagine his pain right now. My thoughts are with him and his wife and their family

Very sad. 2 months old... wow. Cause unknown so far.

Thoughts and prayers are with them and their families... very sad news.

Eric Engels is saying on his twitter this could be a hoax. He isn't able to confirm the story. Apparently neither is the Washington beat writer.

That's very sad. My condolences to Jose and his wife

Very sad. At 2 months old, I'm sure the first thing that comes to mind is SIDS.

Wow, that hits home. Truth is, you never get over it. Never.

I hope they have lot of support from friends and family.

So sad.

I'm certain this is in poor taste, but I have to ask it: What kind of effect does this have on his game? I mean, Redden was playing great, his mother died, and he was never the same again. In this case, Theodore was not playing well at all and this happens. Do we expect a turnaround from him?

I only ask because I don't know the man personally. Although I empathize with him, his relevance in my life centers around the game of hockey. As such, I'm curious about the psychological response that one would expect. Obviously the variables are many, but how do you guys think he'll respond?

He could either throw himself into training, or throw himself into depression.

My condolences to him and his partner. That is too sad for words.
