Holidays without hockey is not the same. Especially missing @TheHersheyBears this time of year, and re-watching this great Christmas Intro (shoutout @dat_dude_ive, I believe) from last year has me wishing I was at the rink tonight.

We are enormously saddened to hear about the untimely passing of Eddie Van Halen. We considered him an inspiration, an idol, and after spending a summer together on the road in '88, a friend. Sending love to Alex, @wolfvanhalen & everyone in the greater VH family.

Feeling deep sadness and overwhelming appreciation.
The appreciation and love for him is bigger though.
Let’s take a minute and try to imagine our world if he never showed up.
It’s unthinkable.
Thank you King Edward. You are deeply loved and will be missed.
Our son was 6 yrs old the first time he heard Eddie Van Halen.
He looked at Savannah & me and asked...
“Does he need two picks to play like that?”
There are great guitarists...
& there are innovators that change everything.
Condolences to his family. #RIPEddieVanHalen 💔
He was an artist who was so amazing at his craft that his three names became shorthand for the standard of excellence in his field. Rest In Peace, Eddie Van Halen. It was a joy to watch you shred. I hope they had a Frankenstrat waiting for you at the gates of Rock ‘n Roll Heaven.
My heart is broken. Eddie was not only a Guitar God, but a genuinely beautiful soul. Rest in peace, Eddie! ...Eddie Van Halen Dead at 65 from Cancer https://t.co/gITtcndQVv
