BillsFanNC Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 Ugggh. Bossy and now Lafleur. Hated rivals as a young Sabres fan, but what absolute legends of the game. RIP. 1 Quote
SinceThe70s Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 RIP to another NHL legend. Lafleur was one of the last 10 helmetless players in the NHL. 1 Quote
ChevyVanMiller Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 Loved watching him play even though I hated the Adams rival Canadians. RIP, Guy. 1 Quote
Nextmanup Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 Wow! I am lucky enough to say that I am just old enough to have vague memories of Guy Lafleur flying down the wing with his hair blowing in the wind! When he was still something special and not yet over the hill. One of the all time greats. Man, did I hate the Habs back in those days! Always had huge respect for their teams and players though. This is a great photo! 1 Quote
Pete Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 Old time, 70s hockey, Eddie Shore. 70s NHL was awesome! Quote
babulator Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 One of the most graceful skaters I can remember. Took these long strides and appeared to effortlessly glide around the rink. The Flower was one of my early Hockey heroes and inspired legions of hockey fans around the world. Sadly, I won't forget Brad May smearing him with a brutal elbow along the boards in one of his last seasons. It was brutal and he left the game a bloody mess, it may have ended his season. The rest of this game and the next night (back to back games against Quebec) set records for PIM, seasonal or maybe even all time @ that time. Even Sabres fans were like WTF about that hit. 😲 RIP Guy, Quote
