voodoochylde Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Greatly under appreciated contributor on this team. Best of luck to PLL moving forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Labbe had his fair share of haters among the fanbase, but for a team lacking in non-import depth, this is really unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOBomberFan Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 PLL was solid depth, and was asked to do a lot more than he should have been doing at points in his Bomber career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 And just in case anyone was wondering... Kirk Penton @PentonKirk1m Pierre-Luc Labbe isn't retiring to avoid expansion draft. He's following his dad's footsteps and becoming a police officer. #Bombers Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigseye Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks to PLL for his years of service, he was always one of the hardest working players on the roster. Now let's hope we can move on from the NI MLB experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-F-F-C Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Good luck to him in his future career in law enforcement. Yes he was under appreciated and was put in to a starting position just because we had to due to the ratio and lack of NI talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxon Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Good for him. It's good to see a player making his own decisions. I really appreciated his hard work, and his devotion to specialty teams. I also enjoyed seeing his "Canada Corner" in the locker room. All the best to him in the next chapter in his life. DR.

Mike Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I think that retirement is probably the only way Labbe will ever be properly appreciated. We'll notice his absence next year. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'm expecting retirement from Cvety not on Labbe. Anyways, all the best to Labbe. Btw, is Cvety doing a Westwood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacquie Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I think that retirement is probably the only way Labbe will ever be properly appreciated. We'll notice his absence next year. I agree. He had a darn good run especially for a guy who was a 6th round pick. He'll be missed off the field too. He's been doing a lot of community work in the off-season.

Noeller Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 ST captain, massively underrated LBer.....frick I loved that guy. My favourite thing about the CFL are the lunch-pail, unheralded CIS guys. Congrats, Frenchie!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Good Luck PLL. Man, we are going to have some holes to fill this year. We already had holes. Almost the entire roster needs to be replaced. So, what's one more? Having said that, a good soldier retired today & I wish Pierre Luc Labbe all the best.

Mr Dee Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Best of luck to monsieur Labbe, the team just got a little weaker, both in his play and in his spirit. Good Canadian character is not easily drafted and I feel that after all the forward progress made with the recent hirings, we've just lost a few yards in player character. Maybe they'll name a Latte after you at the Stadium. The Labbe Latte. You know, a good blend of strength and character. The only thing is .. you'll have to drink it slowly.

johnzo Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'll always remember the great Lobendahn-style strip from behind play he made on Durant in the Banjo Bowl. MOBomberFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 This is as big of a loss as you can get from losing a role player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Good guy but mediocre player, do people not forget how badly the guy used to be torn apart on ob.com only a few years ago.I remember how the guy was nearly ran out of town after Lumsden owned him badly for that one game. Nice and loyal guy but he won't be any big loss on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 .I remember how the guy was nearly ran out of town after Lumsden owned him badly for that one game. Wrong NI LB - you are thinking of the game we had to start Neil McKinlay. He retired to move to BC to become a fire-fighter, and then came out of retirement to get a ring in the 2011 Grey Cup game against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
