    Got to meet Maurice Richard at an old timers game in February 1991 in Regina, Saskatchewan. He was soft spoken and super polite. He told me to stand beside him so I could have my picture taken with him/took picture with his brother Henri at the same game.

    Love the story, it's great hearing a living legend talk about a legend. I heard a story once about Richard's intensity, a teammate scored a winning goal and The Rocket embraced him so hard that he broke his nose.

    I met Rocket Richard in 1961 or 62 in Gananoque Ontario when he was guest referee for an exhibition game. He struck me a really humble and very polite. One of my fondest memories as a player. Tom Carty

    Après la retraite de Richard, les joueurs du Canadien ont choisis Béliveau comme capitaine plutôt que Geoffrion, malgré le fait que ce dernier avait plus d'ancienneté. () Béliveau s'est également longtemps opposé à ce que le "jersey" de Geoffrion soit retiré. Il a payé cher son "lack of respect" du Rocket.

    There never will be another like him that’s for sure. For as hard as he played he also took a lot of cheap crap from others. He never complained and kept putting them in the net.

    Grew up with stories of Rocket told by my grandpa who watched him years ago from the U.P. One of the best to lace up and Mr. Cherry, you sure are missed! I haven’t watched HNIC since and I grew up watching only HNIC because that’s hockey, not sorry @ss ESPN! Long live Rocket Richard and Don Cherry!

    The Rocket once said, of the over 300 teammates he had, only one defended him.
    That was his captain, Butch Bouchard.
    Yes, Pierre’s father.
    Too bad after Pierre got ugly destroyed by Stan Jonathan, he got traded not long after.
    Butch was pissed and complained at Belliveau who was the team vp.
    The point is, his teammates should of stood up more for their star player and captain, who was getting hammered way too often.
    Like Bobby Orr, even though he was tough and fought his fights, his teammates should of gone after his dirty and fighting opponents, that shortened his career in half.
    Imagine, Orr had more fights than Gordie Howe, who had about 3 times more games played.
    Of course they were wanting to fight these star players.

    Back when men were real men. Richard, Howe, Hull etc. No helmets, No beards. Can you imagine how many goals they would score now in this watered down version of hockey nowdays.

      Come on Donald! In 1980s NHL 8 goals per game! Today only 6 goals per game! Auston Matthews have scored this season 54 goals in 63 games! If Matthews had played In 1982 he would had scored over 100 goals easily beating Gretzky's 92 goal record! Ovechkin ERA only 5,3-6 goals per game! If Ovechkin had played high scoring 1980s he would had scored over 1000 goals easily! In 1980s 90% of the NHL players were from Canada! Today under 60% of the NHL players from Canada! Gretzky played players from Canada only! Canada have 650000 hockey players! Ovechkin's Russia under 100000 hockey players! Canada should have 7 guys who have scored over 800 goals like Ovechkin! Don Cherry brainwashed the people of Canada to hate other countries! Don Cherry claiming that NHL players from USA Russia FINLAND Sweden CzechRepulic Slovakia are Ilegal aliens not Humans only aliens! Don Cherry said do not draft USA born Auston Matthews! Lunatic Cherry claiming that the NHL MVP is Ryan Reaves! This is why Canada do not have 7 guys who have scored over 800 goals because bad hockey culture demanding fighting violence no talent skating skills no stick handling! No-one wants goon enforces back like 1970s bad NHL hockey! Today NHL is amazing better than ever!!

      @@RaineriHakkarainen well I guess we are are just at a gridlock. I will take team of Gordie Howes, or Booby Hulls, or Rocket Richards any day and you can have a team of Auston Mathews and I bet I beat you every time. And give me goon hockey of. the 70’s and not these figure skaters we are stuck with for now at least. And Don Cherry………NO , he is not a woke snowflake.
