Another big hockey loss.

RIP

The king of the last Habs dinasty.

Also the only sportsman I ever saw smoking a cigarette while sitting on the bench, between two appearance on the ice. Confused

RIP Guy, and thanks for those amazing moments. Star

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Easily the most electrifying hockey player ever! He would make fans rise up in the stands and in millions of living rooms throughout Canada and beyond, night after night after night. Hugely consistent A game all the time.....RIP  
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Back when the Red Wings sucked in the 70s (the Dead Wing years, when Ned Harkness traded NHL all-time Iron Man Gary Unger because he wouldn't get a haircut -- he went on to have 8 straight 30+ goal years with the Blues), Les Habs were my go to team. Plus, the Wings had traded my favorite Frank Mahovlich to the Canadiens, so I'd watch them on Hockey Night in Canada on the Windsor, Ontario TV station that we received in the Detroit area. I'd watch Montreal everytime they were on (but not the Maple Leafs, because I've always hated them). 

Lafleur, Yvan Cournoyer (another favorite), Ken Dryden, Larry Robinson, Jacques Lemaire, Pocket Rocket, Savard, Lapointe, and the greatest hockey coach of all time Scotty Bowman. Man, what a team.

Adieu, Guy! 
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
