I once hired Guy for a signing session in the boardroom of one of my corporate clients. We prepared trays of pucks for him to sign for two hours. Employees lined up for hours with all kinds of things for him to sign. He was a gracious gentleman and humbly shared many stories. He refused to leave until everyone that had been waiting received his autograph which far exceeded the time he was hired. Hockey and life lost a true legend. R.I.P. Guy Lafleur 🙏

One legend honors another with a beautiful, eloquent and heartfelt tribute.

Lafleur and Dryden, two of my childhood idols.

RIP Guy.

When I was a youngster a bunch of my buddies and me went to get autographs  at the hotel the Habs were due to arrive at next to the now gone Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. We we're decked out in our Canadians jerseys, hats, etc. Their flight was delayed. Yet we waited and waited. Finally at some early morning hour, like two or three in the morning, here come the Canadians into the lobby. Bob Gainey walks over to us and says, "Fellas, it's been a long day. Give us about twenty minutes". Sure enough, in twenty minutes every player comes down and signs everything we had. Class act those guys. Guy Lafleur signed my Lafleur jersey. He was super cool. God Bless him. Rest in peace Mr. Lafleur.

Dryden explains Maurice Richard's importance to French Canadians perfectly...he gets it. Merci!

Such a thoughtful brilliant man.  That is Ken Dryden.  RIP Mr. Lafleur, you were the best and what a wonderful soul.

First time I saw him when I just immigrated in 1977 on Saturday hockey night in Canada, he scored with a break away against LA Kings Rogatien Vachon. I fell in love with Guy Lafleur, Montreal Canadiens and I became a fan right away. Montreal Canadiens fans called him ‘ Le Demon Blond ‘ but really he was an Angel on the ice, magnificent player, good husband, good father and very charismatic to his fans. Bravo! Guy lafleur RIP

I'm a western New Yorker and grew up as a Canadiens fan . Those were the best times . My idols were Ken Dryden and Guy Lafleur.  When you watch them play it was exhilarating.  I'm so sad to hear of Guy's passing he was such amazing player. Rest in peace Guy.

Ken is and was one of the smartest men in and outside of hockey. Great interview about his fellow teammate Guy Lafleur aka the flower ❤

Great times in the 70's to be a Montreal fan....Guy was a big part of the best team to ever play the game.

The 70s were my era and the Habs will always be my team . RIP Mr Lafleur!!!!

guy lafleur and mike bossy---possibly, arguably, the 2 best players of their era,
both died this week. these guys defined hockey when i was growing up.

RIP Ken Dryden

So eloquently spoken for such a class act ...thank you Ken.... Rest In Peace Guy

i have carried Lafleur's hockey card in my wallet for 40+ years for good luck

The best summary of Montreal Canadiens 70s ever heard.... thank you Ken, Sois en paix Guy🙏

I met Ken Dryden in 1971. I was attending a 2 week summer hockey camp. In Montreal.
He was there for the second week. I was a goalie. Even in the early years, he was larger than life. It was my honor and pleasure to have known him even for that short period of time. I will remember him forever. Rest in peace.

Could you pick a better idol than Ken Dryden, amazingly spoken and thoughtful....rest in peace Guy...always remember " premiere etoile  GUY LAFLEUR ! " my old man hated the Habs but loved Guy.

Rest in peace. Can't believe so many legends are dying.

Loved hearing from Ken Dryden. Very articulate guy.
