The incident happened this past Sunday in Lubbock, Texas, the Detroit Free Press reports.

The hockey legend is 86 years-old and suffering from dementia; the family is preparing for the worst.

I feel like this is his final lap around the rink.

-Murray Howe, son of Gordie

 

Even though things don't look so good, I'll take #9 in a fight any day, any night, any time.

All the best to the best there ever was.
