Sad news to hear about Blaine Lacher! Dead at 53! Nothing confirmed, but hearing it was death by suicide!

Obscure goalie in Bruins past much like Cleon Daskalakis. I did find this interesting however on wiki when he played at Lake Superior State ...
He set an NCAA Division I shutout record of 375:01, which still standed as of 2024. Lacher gave up his final year of eligibility to sign as a free agent with the Boston Bruins.

I knew about the record, didn't realize it still stood. I heard he didn't want to want to be an NHL goalie anymore & wanted to become a police officer. I don't know if he ever did or not. |

I hate seeing things like this. Guy is a great example of why teams have to avoid the temptation to buy in on early returns from a rookie. I remember him being hot to start but then you started to see the holes in his game and so did everyone else. RIP Lacher. |

Remembering that time and the years before and after, make me realize what a luxury the B's goaltending strength has been the last 15 or so years. RIP Blaine.
