Alexandron Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Those are sad news. Thanks for posting this very nice article about a Hall of Fame Legend. I remember his such a productive play since 70-ies. His 50+goals/per season 6 seasons in a row were so impressing for me. Fantastic player! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I became a Hockey fan when the Wings were in the middle of their Infamous Dead Things era, I remember the Habs Dynasty with love and respect, Flower flying down the ice with his famous hair flowing behind looking like god himself could not catch him on a breakaway. RIP to a Legend. First Bossy now Flower, I think I am going back to bed now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Before it was Bossy, now Lafleur, series' law sucks. In fact, he definitively retired as a North Star where he was a member of the organization for about 24 hours after the 1991 expansion draft that followed the San José dispersal draft. A Modano-Lafleur-Bellows line, that could've been fun... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Thing Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Very sad news. A true legend of hockey and only 70 years old. Like Mike Bossy, I never got to enjoy seeing him play a game live. When Lafleur decided to return to the NHL I was born, but only a baby and not watching hockey. Watching videos of these legends has been such a pleasure.

Yeah those guys would smoke between periods too. Wasn’t Bossy a heavy smoker too? I quit those bastards 7 years ago. Best thing I ever did 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post blocker Posted April 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2022 When my youngest was a peewee, we got a chance to attend a Canadiens optional practice. No coaches on the ice. Players were free to practice whatever they wanted. Despite his reputation as an undisciplined free spirit, Lafleur pushed himself hard. I think my son learned a lesson that day. Success requires hard work. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
