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.
Legendary human on and off the ice thanks for the great memories I will take them to my grave
Rest in peace Guy.
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.
RIP GUY ..
Meant GUY in Belleville ,Ontario when he coached the Montreal Alumni. They played the Leafs !!!
ONE OF MY IDOLS

This retirement was hastily put together
If you didn't know why Jacque Lemaire's number isn't retired, you do now.

Was Lafleur as great as Lemieux?
The organ music completely ruins the whole thing.👎🏾
