Meant GUY in Belleville ,Ontario when he coached the Montreal Alumni. They played the Leafs !!! He was a class guy and got his autograph and Meant the team. All but Knuckles Nilan who as I told Guy, Knuckles always had your back. His reply: YOUR RIGHT!! THANKS KNUCKLES NILAN 🇨🇦🇮🇪
To see Lafleur shaking Perreault's hand was pretty cool, as both were arguably the two most exciting Quebecois players in NHL history. Perreault never won a Cup while with the Sabres, but man o man could he play. Lafleur needs no reminding what he did lol.
Crazy spectacle that never should have happened. The Canadiens organization do most things right, but have occasionally loused things up badly like they did here by forcing a legend to retire prematurely just to please Jacques Lemaire who they ended up firing after his first season.
This was a forced retirement ceremony!! Lafleur never had any intentions of hanging up the skates & instead was pushed out the door by Lemaire & Serge Savard.
@@lorrainemazzacane1621 Because of the forced retirement!! Lafleur missed out on being a member of the '86 Habs team that won the Cup. That would've given him Cup #6 of his career.
Where is that huge drawing of Guy now? I can't believe the organist played "Neutron Dance" for this ceremony for one of the greatest, and one of the most beloved players of a storied franchise.
Legendary human on and off the ice thanks for the great memories I will take them to my grave
Rest in peace Guy.
The Great Flower.
10 forever.
RIP GUY ..
You were amazing !!!
Thank you !!!
I was there at this game. I absolutely loved Guy Lafleur and I considered myself so lucky to be at this game... I was 15 then. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

This retirement was hastily put together
It was disgraceful if you ask me. This was no celebration.
Do you see how annoyed his mother is? She even tapped Guy's dad with her purse and was like "would've been nicer if we had this three years from now."
May Guy Lafleur play 4 the All Mighty..in the heavens

4:25 Where's Lemaire?
5:17 They definitely wanted a pic of Lafleur and Perreault together.
Lemaire was hiding in the dressing room. He knew Guy would never shake his hand. Lemaire was the reason for Guy's retirement.
If you didn't know why Jacque Lemaire's number isn't retired, you do now.
j'étais la avec mon coeur d'enfant
Was Lafleur as great as Lemieux?
LaFleur was better than Lemieux. Was Lemieux great? Yes, of course, absolutely. But LaFleur was truly better. I saw them both.
No, but he was more exciting. He wasn't far off for those six seasons.
Dammm, u know what ? Thats a great question . I woulda said 'Lemieux no question but now that i think about it ?
Iwasthere1
Nor 4 me
The organ music completely ruins the whole thing.👎🏾
U dont like Neutron Dance ? Beverly Hills Cop
Naw, I'm not sure why, but I kinda like it. Drum machine and all
I still have that cap. Its 75.00 on Ebay ,not bad
The organ music is much better than the annoying song that plays after the Blackhawks score a goal at home!!
Id rather hear an organ thain a train horn . Mercy .
