News Article: Henri Richard's former teammates are thinking about him as he battles Alzheimer's

[SB164]

Plusieurs anciens joueurs du Canadien se sont retrouvés jeudi au club Summerlea, à Vaudreuil-Dorion, afin de participer à la 22e édition du tournoi de golf de leur ancien entraîneur, Hector «Toe» Blake, que la maladie d’Alzheimer a emporté en 1995.

S’ils ont tous rendu hommage à Blake, leurs pensées étaient également dirigées vers leur ami Henri Richard, qui souffre lui aussi de cette maladie.

Henri is one tough hombre, no opponent ever could say they had an easy shift against the Habs former Captain #16. Fight the good fight Henri!!!... Perhaps trying the Reishi mushroom with it's huge healing powers can help offset the Azheimer's apparently the concentrated formula's are working wonders also the ionized 99.99% silver concentrates in water as a drink kills numerous viruses including some cancers.

On topic, good luck to Mr Richard, I hope he keeps it up together for as long as possible.

11 Coupes Stanley! Hard to imagine anyone ever beating that feat by the Pocket Rocket.

Great, underrated player.My thoughts are with him and the whole family.

I met him at my old tennis club in Baie d'Urfé a while ago. He was very approachable. I hope that his family explores some unconventional treatments, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy. There isn't much else out there that can delay the onset of Alzheimers, and HBOT is not accepted by mainstream neurology. However at least one neurologist endorses it. http://northstarhbot.com/about-dr-henricks/

Awful news. I wish him and his family the best.

The Man upstairs has prepared a rink and a mansion for Henri and say what you say but I believe that there's major league hockey up there in heaven. Now some of you will ask how I know that! You gotta have faith! faith!

 

[Devourers]

That sucks to hear. Henri is probably the classiest habs I've ever been lucky enough to meet. I hope he and his friends and family get through this tough time.

Been a bad year for former Habs. Lost a lot of them

 

[Bob Cole]

very sad news, the legends are falling one after the other

Thank you Henri! Only player I hold in more esteem than you, and your brother, would be Peter Stastny.

I find it difficult to reconcile this statement with your avatar picture. Borderline apostate. All kidding aside, PS is an impressive fellow.
