I'm sure that he lead a wonderful life. I mean we all gotta die sometime and this guy made it to 97. I'd say he did well. Farewell Mr. Lach!

 

[Jee]

Sad year for legends.

RIP Mr. Lach

 

[Born in 1909]

Oh no!

Another hockey legend in heaven.

RIP, Mr. Lach... and thank you.

We just don't last forever...

 

[Deebs]

Rip..

 

[Et le But]

Not a good season for Habs legends...

RIP. From what I hear he lived an active life late until his 90s, can't ask for more than that.

 

[Mrb1p]

Oh no!

Another hockey legend in heaven.

RIP, Mr. Lach... and thank you.

We just don't last forever...

Legends do. Howie Morenz has been dead for 70 years and hes still in our minds.

Anyway, rip in peace

The legend will never die.

RIP.

Let's face it, 99% of us never saw him play, and know little about him:

That's not an avatar man, that's a poster.

Was Lach considered to be the greatest when he retired in 54? I know he was the all time points leader. Definitely top 5 all time when he retired.

 

[The Right Price]

Sad but he lived a great life.

They should put a black #16 besides the #4 on the jersey.
