Bob Fillion, oldest Canadien, dies at 95

Bob Fillion, who played seven seasons and won two Stanley Cups with the Montreal Canadiens, has died at the age of 95. Fillion became the oldest surviving Canadiens player when Elmer Lach died at age 97 in April.

"(Fillion) had the problems of old age, I guess you could say he died of natural causes," Candiens public relations ambassador Rejean Houle said. "He was a real Montreal Canadiens fan. He always came to the building and took notes. He followed the team very closely."

Fillion was part of the Canadiens' Stanley Cup-winning teams in 1944 and 1946. He notched 42 goals and 61 assists in 327 career regular-season games, adding seven goals and four assists in 33 playoff contests.
