SC http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2015/01/11/gordie-howe-dementia-detroit-red-wings/21596573/ I don't believe a word of it. I remember Ray Price's wife saying how well he was doing.....then he died. The publicists and family members always try to put a rosy spin on it. The man is 87 and had a serious stroke, I don't think he'll last out the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,536 Posted January 12, 2015 I'd say Gordie Howe is one of those 50/50 chances. Going by just that my brother-in-law has him on his list, chances are he'll survive the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir C You think Joost van der Westhuizen isn't famous enough (in Britain) but this guy is? Go figure. Defensive much? I'm not competent to speak on who the BBC typically obits. If a South African rugby player then by agod a Canadian 4x NHL COACH AND EXECUTIVE yes I'll speculate they would obit him. But why do you ask Me? I genuinely don't care what the BBC does. Maybe they follow rugby over hockey as a major sport. Ethiopian news sources probably do too. Sir C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obits count from any UK media outlet, even The Sun (think downmarket National Enquirer), and you may be correct in your assertion that one of the valid outlets does print a qualifying obit, but being realistic, NHL isn't a big deal over here, whereas Rugby Union is. That's why van der Westhuizen is on the list and Murray isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,005 Posted January 28, 2015 Murray's eventual death will likely get a Yahoo UK mention since it reported on his cancer diagnosis and it's known for general reliability regarding North American sports figures. But I doubt he'd get much else, and people you have to rely on Yahoo for an obit for aren't really DL material. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,986 Posted January 28, 2015 Too true. You only get this level of insularity from Americans... Interestingly enough Ice Hockey isn't really a "national" sport in the Usa. Hockey is a big deal in the Northeast and in places like Minnesota and North Dakota but the best player in the NHL could walk in a a shopping center in California,Hawaii,any Southern state etc. and go completely unrecognized.

wildstorm 297 Posted February 5, 2015 For everybody who thought Gino Odjick would be a guarantee hit: His condition has improved vastly and doctors have given him more time (Well, more time than his initial 1-year prognosis, given approximately one year ago). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
