A bit of an update. A ton of fans went to the hospital he is in and had a little ralley and he even came down to thank them and sign some autographs.

Yes, was very nice to see. Glad to see some ppl showing him exactly what he has meant to them. I`m sure it made his day
When he was a Hab I was always able to visit the Habs dressing room when they played in Carolina. (I was friends with former asst equipment manager Bobby Boulanger) and on one of those occasions Gino grabbed me handed me a saw and told me to cut his sticks. He was such a great guy! Doug Gilmour walks by, looks at me and says "I see Gino has put you to work".....cool memory for me for sure. Hang in there Gino!

omg this has got to be the coolest story I've ever heard. Sounds like it was a reg thing for Gino, a great way to make fans feel special.
Walking around the locker room was always a blast! About 10 years ago I was brought into the locker room in Montreal, that was amazing!

He has a rare cardiac disease and he could die soon

Hopefully he survives, if he doesnt RIP
He's probably going to go but at least I think he's had a good life. Always liked Gino. I just hope things go as smooth as possible for him in the short time he has left..
