Confirmed with Link: RIP Elmer Lach, 1918-2015

[Analyzer*]

R.I.P.

As others have said, definitely a bad year for hockey legends.

 

[Gee Wally]

May he Rest in Peace.

 

[Whitesnake]

May he Rest in Peace.

Thanks man. Great to see that coming from you.

May he rest in peace indeed. 97 year old, another figure to add watching over this team. One of the best players of his era.

Rip
i would think that the habs will wear a sticker or patch with the number 16 on it.

Incredible picture.

RIP Elmer Lach.

 

[NobleSix]

Sad news.

At 97 I'm sure he lived an amazing life.

 

[TravisF]

It's very sad to hear. The man played on a line with the Rocket and Toe Blake! It is sad there isn't much footage of them today. R.I.P. Elmer.

Wow so funny

 

[Mathradio]

Almost as historically significant as Beliveau was...

 

[Naoned]

Really sad news.
I hope the team will celebrate Lach and Béliveau with a Cup. That would be a fitting tribute.

 

[TRG]

Should we replace one of the 4 behind the net by his number? I know he's not the great icon Beliveau was but still an important member of the Habs.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Sad to hear the news. RIP Mr. Lach!

 

[That Habs Fan]

Sad to hear, always enjoyed his presence at alumni events and such, gave it a real sense of history.

RIP

 

[FF de Mars]

Wow, he lived a long life! Rest in peace.

 

[Saxon]

RIP. May the ghosts of the recently departed legends find a place in the Bell Centre!!

Hilarious.

You don't deserve to use RIP. It's used as a sign of respect, and clearly, you have none.

Childish and foolish.

RIP Mr. Lach.

The famous 'Punch Line' is now reunited

I don't get teary eyes very often, but when I realized this, I sure did.
The Punch Line is now reunited again. May Lach, Richard, and Blake rest in peace.
These guys shaped the Montreal Canadiens organization and the NHL.
Without them, we wouldn't be the Canadiens of today.

A beautiful collection.

Especially the Cup shot... fantastic.

[Bob Cole]
