FeedI Have An Idea To Help The Habs!
February 16, 2009 in Gordie Howe, Montreal Canadiens Tags: athletes un-retiring, Elmer Lach, Emile Bouchard, Michael Jordan, Oil Can Boyd
With news that pitcher Dennis ‘Oil Can’ Boyd wants to come out of retirement at age 49, and the fact that Gordie Howe played a full season with Hartford when he was 51, not to mention a host of other athletes like Michael Jordan and Willie Mays who un-retired in their middle-aged years, my suggestion to help the Habs out of their funk would be to look into seeing if Elmer Lach, 91, and Emile “Butch” Bouchard, 88, might be interested in re-joining their old club.
Hey, it can’t hurt. With Robert Lang out for the season and the defence sucking lemons, we could use an experienced forward and defenceman. You got any better ideas?
