Canadiens Hall of Famer Elmer Lach continues to mend from a hip he broke three weeks ago.
The 93-year-old was discharged from a Montreal-area hospital on Friday and has taken up residence in a rehabilitation facility, where he’ll be up on his feet a little more and building strength back into his surgically repaired hip.
As always, Elmer send along his best wishes and thanks to those who have been asking about him.

Glad to hear that Elmer is doing better! This new look on HIO is just plain abysmal! I have to admit, HIO has been pretty much all downhill after its first year.
Agreed! That first year we really felt like we were getting away with something. Now it feels like prohibition’s kicked in.
God, it’s dreadful. I long for the post-game show of DD, Jim M, Tommy, JT, Yeats, et al. that gang was hilarious. I still remember during the first year, before we had to register, when there was an hour-long pre-leafs-game spoof where everyone adopted classic leaf personas and went on and on about how they would have loved to be Habs.
Ahhhh… the good ol’ days…
Have to admit, that crew knew hockey and more importantly humor!
Dear Elmer. You’re a tough cookie and we love you. Best wishes to you and your family and to all the injured Habs for a full and speedy recovery.
I don’t like how we lost that feature which you could click on other bloggers avatar and find out about them.
I also don’t like how the site does not indicate “new” comments after you refresh the page.
I hate the lack of a “new” feature, too. I’ve got to read everything to figure out if I’ve already read it.
True. And as we age everything seems new – so we need that thing
anyone still having problems with their avatar? i signed up and it still wont work
Unlike some, I love vanilla ice-cream…however, this site looks like North Korea now. Lame.
Get well, Elmer.
See for yourself…

Dear Leader Kim Jong Boone.
Tear down this site!
I sure hope he gets to go home sometime.
And, I’m not picky about what a site looks like – I appreciate that the spell check works in this comment box I am typing in.
Hate there being no game on a Saturday Night.
Continue to get well, Elmer.
By the way, this new format has all of the personality of vanilla ice cream.
Get well Elmer.
And this site is really awful. The other one was so sleek and and clean. This feels so bland and the gravatar thing just doesn’t work. Change the name of the site if you need to but please go back to the old layout.
lach continues to mend, good stuff
this website, when it it begin to heal…?
bugs site is more impressive (no offence bugs)
It’s funny because it’s (barely) true.
hope all goes well
Elmer would roll over in his bed if he heard about what the Habs brass just did to habsinsideout.com.
Get well Elmer, hope to see you at the Bell Centre soon.
