Labre is Back in the Coaching Game
Ex-Caps defenseman Yvon Labre, whose No. 7 sweater hangs from the rafters of Verizon Center, is back behind the bench. Labre was named as the coach of the 16-and-under Baltimore Stars for 2008-09.
Congrats to Yvon, and to the lucky kids who will be learning the game from him.

For the love of God, take down Labre’s No. 7 from the rafters. If someone did a poll of the worst player to ever have his jersey retired, I think Labre might win.

The early days of the Caps were dark days and Yvon Labre though not an all star never quit. His number was retired not because he could play like Rod Langway but because of what he meant to the franchise.

So he gets his number retired for being less loser-y than everyone else? Puh-lease. That banner is almost as embarassing as those Mystics attendance banners.
