Emil "Butch" Bouchard passed away today at age 92. Typically, it was a strong battle to the end for the legendary Captain of the 50's era Habs. A tip of the chapeau to one of the Greats of the game . . .
Unfortunately this will become an all too familiar refrain. With such a storied history many of those stories will start a trend of final chapters I'm not looking forward to.

Too early for me to remember but his son Pierre was an unheralded contributor to the great 70's teams that started me towards Hab fandom.
RIP Butch.
