wildstorm 297 Posted January 11, 2016 Oldest member of the hall of fame, Elmer Lach, has died of a stroke at 97. Milt Schmidt now becomes the oldest living hall of fame member. Video showing a wheelchair-bound Milt Schmidt, meeting with the bruins pre-winter classic, led me to look into Schmidt's health. Apparently, he was in quarantine at his nursing home last year after a bout with illness. Other than that, not much, but I hope he has enough fight to keep him around a while yet.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 31, 2016 Rick MacLeish, a three-time all-star who scored arguably the biggest goal in Flyers history, died Monday night. He was 66. Mr. MacLeish had been battling meningitis, along with kidney and liver problems. The smooth-skating center had one of the league's most dynamic wrist shots, and he became the first 50-goal scorer in franchise history in 1972-73. Mr. MacLeish, the NHL's leading playoff scorer when the Flyers won Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975, finished with 349 career goals.
