I've always liked Bob Gainey--great player, great GM, always had a lot of class. His wife died some years ago at 39 of brain cancer.
And now, what a terrible way to lose a child. This shouldn't have happened to him.

Search for Missing Daughter of Canadiens' Bob Gainey Called Off
By Michael Buteau
Dec. 12 (Bloomberg) -- The search for the daughter of Montreal Canadiens General Manager Bob Gainey was called off three days after she was swept off the deck of a Caribbean-bound ship during an Atlantic storm.
The U.S. Coast Guard in Portsmouth, Virginia, officially suspended the search for 25-year-old Laura Gainey at 7:20 p.m. local time last night after estimating that she could have survived for about 36 hours. Laura Gainey wasn't wearing a life vest when she was washed overboard.
A life raft dropped by the U.S. Coast Guard on Dec. 9 was recovered last night with no one in it.
``We wish to sincerely thank all the people who have been involved in the search for our darling Laura,'' the Gainey family said in a statement released today by the Canadiens of the National Hockey League. ``Their extensive efforts and their tremendous support throughout this ordeal will never be forgotten.''
The U.S. and Canadian Coast Guard, along with volunteer merchant ships and the crew of the Pincton Castle, the ship Gainey was sailing, covered 3,175 square miles (822,117 hectares) during their search, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
At about 9 p.m. on Dec. 8, the captain of the 180-foot Pincton Castle, which had recently begun a six-month tour to the Caribbean, reported that Gainey had gone missing from the ship in 40-knot winds and 22-foot seas in an area about 475 miles southeast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Bob Gainey, a 52-year-old Hall of Fame player, won five Stanley Cups with Montreal during a 16-year NHL career.

I'm from montreal. I've been checking tsn, rds and habsinsideout since this happened.
It's wierd, players like Gainey are heros to an entire city. I feel as if my parents told me they loved me an extra time because of this conversation.
What kills me is that when Red Fisher passes on, there will be noone to honour his life they way he's honoured so many others. |
