Remembering Guy Lafleur
Guy Lafleur, Montreal scoring machine, was the best hockey player of the 1970s.
"The Flower" as he was affectionately know to fans, registered six consecutive 50-goal seasons from 1974-1975 to 1979-1980, and played on five Stanley Cup winning teams.
Guy Lafleur also known as "Le Demon Blond" the blond devil) was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1988. His charisma and his quirky individualism extended far beyond the ice.
He was known for chain smoking, in and out of the dressing room, and enjoyed late night club-hopping.
As a Canadian living in Quebec, it was interesting to read about one of Canada's icons. My older sons, who are not hockey followers, found this book to be informative, but a bit boring.
Remembering Guy Lafleur is beautifully designed and packed with vintage photos and sport articles.
