Remembering Guy Lafleur, Montreal Canadiens' Legend & Hall Of Famer 

The hockey world has lost so much in such a short time. First Mike Bossy and now Guy Lafleur. Deepest condolences to their families and loved ones. RIP Mike, RIP Guy. Canada will mourn both you.

My dad named me Guillaume because of the impact Guy had on him growing up. I had the chance to meet Guy a couple times at my family’s golf course. He was so humble, such a great human being. What Robitaille said is extremely true. he was above the status of legends for us Quebec kids. Reposes en paix Guy, tu mérites tout le confort possible.

I live in the Toronto area and GUY LAFLEUR the greatest ever!!!

As a Bruins fan, rivalry aside. RIP Mr. Lafleur. You knew how to 'Poke the Bear' 🌸

I’m a lifelong Bruins fan. It took many years of therapy to FORGET Guy Lefleur. Honestly though, he was a terrific player and a class act.

Grew up a Buffalo Sabres fan... grew up 'hating' Guy, especially during the playoffs. But I learned to respect the player and the person. We lost a NHL legend and Icon. RIP 'Flower'

Guy was my childhood hero. I had the privilege of meeting him in Boston on a street near the then called Fleet Center after a game between the Habs and the Bruins in the beginning of the 2000s me and two friends saw him passing us by and obviously I recognized him right away. I asked if we could have a picture with him and of course he was very happy to oblige. We spoke for a few minutes and he left us than at the same moment people around us on the street started chanting his name Guy Guy Guy Guy !!!! Wow me a guy from Montreal witnessed something very special right there in Boston I will never forget that day He was a true legend. And a great person too He will be greatly missed RIP Guy Lafleur Thank you for the memories!!!

A symbol of grace and elegance on and off the ice‼️ Rest in peace Flower 🌼‼️ 💔

"LA PREMIRE ETOILE... GUY LAFLEUR!!!!" I was blessed to meet the man and get his autograph. A real gentleman.

You know I shed tears when I heard the news on the passing of the Great Guy Lafleur. Same as I did hearing of Mike Bossy. I have been a lifelong Maple Leafs fan, but I admired the great players of my time including some who played with the competition. Guy was one of those players. He would go flying down the ice with his hair flowing behind him and score, and make it look so easy. He was an icon for Montreal and I can only imagine how much he will be missed. Thank you for the memories Guy Lafleur! 🙏🙏🙏

He was an amazing player and a nice man. I was lucky enough to meet him in an almost empty Victoria airport. I had just had a knee replacement and was a bit ouchy and in a wheelchair. He asked if I needed some help. We had a chat for about 20 minutes. We didn't talk about hockey and only briefly about knee surgery. He asked about the op and I said that I hoped it worked (it did). We chatted about our kids, the weather and other things. I'm glad I got to meet him. RIP Guy!

Guy Lafleur was so spectacular. The way he moved on the ice, the speed, the shot, the clutch goals and in his prime he didn't take nights off, he was relentless. Great player and a GREAT man

Okay, I'm a Leaf fan, but this one hurts. Speed. Skill. Class. GUUUUYYYYYYY!

Mike Bossy, then one week later, Guy Lafleur. 2 legends, may they rest in peace. Thanks for the memories.

Grew up in the 70s Montreal, lived and died with the Habs... loved the Gretzky era and now the Ovechkin era but GUY LAFLEUR was and is always the ultimate player in my heart and mind when it comes to the greatest. RIP, Démon Blond.

Watching him in the late 70s and 80s on Hockey night in Canada as a kid was something special

Luc Robitaille's reverent words about Guy Lafleur and his impact upon me, my generation and our elders could not have been said better; " He's above the word Legend...Every Uncle I had...my Grand Pa...Everyone... He means so much to the people there. The people that were living in that era, now can go back and realize how lucky they were"

I was born in 1972 and growing up I was insanely in love with hockey and the Montreal Canadiens. My earliest hockey memories are of watching those incredible teams in the late 70's with my dad and my uncles. I became a goalie at a young age but my first ever favorite player was Guy Lafleur and my first Montreal jersey had a #10 on the back. I was in high school when he made his comeback and I remember when he made his first appearance in Montreal with the Rangers, I predicted he would score 2 goals but Montreal would win the game and that's exactly what happened. It was among the greatest times in my life. Around the same time cable networks started to explode and I was able to watch 'classic' games of that era and I gained a whole new appreciation for what an amazing player he was. I remember having the impression of him as a goal scorer but the more I watched those classic games, I realized he was much, much more than just a scorer. He was an amazing playmaker and his skating....well that of course was beautiful to watch. Today my first ever 'hero' died. I offer my humble condolences to the family as just one of millions of fans and I thank him for providing me and my family with so many memories that will last forever.

I am a diehard Ranger fan, my favorite hockey player is and ALWAYS be Guy Lafleur. He was the most dynamic player of his era, brought tears to my eyes when I heard of his passing. RIP GUY I’ll never forget you. Thank You.

Bossy and Lafleur in the same week!! Heavens goals per game just skyrocketed!!

As a Leaf fan I have he utmost respect for the "Flower", Guy Lafleur. RIP Mr. Lafleur, it was a pleasure watching you both live and on TV.

MERCI guy 💙🤍❤️ beliveau and guy united ! An end of one hell of an era.

I met him once. A humble man and a true Gentleman.

`Thanks, Guy, for helping make the 70's such a wonderful decade. RIP

My two favourite players passing away so close together is strange. Man, the memories as a kid. The hockey cards. The jerseys. RIP Boss. RIP Guuuuuy.

I've been a Leafs fan for 60 years, not an easy thing. However, I felt compelled to post my comments about Guy Lafleur. He certainly is deserving of all of the accolades which have been part of this posting. A classy, elegant player, similar to my favourite Canadien, Jean Beliveau. Yes, I'm a Leafs fan but the fact that this legendary player was so much a part of the Montreal organization certainly doesn't prevent me from sending my most sincere condolences to Guy Lafleur's family, friends, the Montreal organization and to all who mourn his passing.

I am crushed! I knew he was battling cancer, but part of me thought/hoped he would beat it!! Had the pleasure of meeting him back in 1991-92...just amazing. The Holy Trinity of Habs legends are now all gone..Beliveau -Richard-Lafleur...RIP #10

Setting the stage, 1979, Montreal vs Boston, Game 7. Bruins are leading by 1 with 6 minutes left in the 3rd period of Game 7. The TV pans to Lafleur on the Montreal bench. The immortal Fred Cusick states, as only Fred could, “There is Guy Lafleaur on the Montreal bench. The Bruins would like him to stay there”.

One of the greatest legends in hockey! Repose en paix Guy😔

Guy was one of greatest Canadian super star hockey player that has played in the NHL. In my youth watching hockey on Saturday night was a family event. Watching Toronto and Montreal was awesome, Guy Lafleur The Flower 🌼 flying down the wing is how I will remember one of the finest all time Canadian super stars .

Loved LaFleur. He set the standard. Ahead of his time in many ways.

Just awoke at 3:00 a.m. and seeing this sad news now...as a young teenager when Lafleur came to be a Ranger, I was numb with awe, that it was actually happening...now, I can't keep from crying.

The NHL has seen so many icons over the years but for me growing up as a young teen in the 70's Guy was my idol, RIP Sir

Growing up in Winnipeg in St.Boniface, I pretended I was Lafleur as a kid. Wore his number while playing soccer too. Now I'm old and bald but still remember trying to skate fast like Guy and pick the corners. RIP 🙏

My brother's name was also Guy and he taught high school in Thurso QC, which is where Guy Lafleur is from. My brother was fairly well known there because he coached hand ball teams that achieved a lot of success provincially. But I always joked with him that: "Whatever you do, you'll always be the 2nd Guy in this town".

I watched Guy Lafleur in 1976 at Maple Leaf Gardens go from end to end and score. My first witness to a superstar when I was10yrs old. I shed tears when I heard the news.

Un très grand joueur mais un personne encore plus grandiose , MERCI Guy !!! #10 👌

I distinctly remember going to a Caps game in the early 80s, my Brother and I had gotten their a little late and we were already down to the Canadians 2-0, with both goals scored by Lafleur. We had really good seats that evening about 20 rows off the ice between Center-Ice and the Caps Defense in the 1st Period. Lafleur grabbed the puck in our Offensive Zone and started up the right wing towards us, skated past and faked-out two or three Capitals and scored his third goal of the game, not even 10 minutes old. My Brother and I just looked at each other in disbelief, as if to say, "Did we just see that?" He was amazing, truly one of the all-time legends of the game.

My first hero! Montreal was all hockey and he was their best. I grew up watching him with my family. I remember the championships, and his hair flowing as he skated on his way to a goal. Guy will always be my childhood. Thank you for the memories.

Guy is my earliest memory of hockey, after moving to Canada in 1975…x coming down right wing, hair flying behind him, launching a rocket that usually was in the net before the hapless goalie had really even begun to react. RIP Monsieur Lafleur!

One of the all time greats…..( bruins fan ).

My brother was a devoted fan of the Canadiens in the 70s and I always supported them through the rough 80s, and Guy was someone who seemed to have landed from another planet. Never will see his like again. #RIPLafleur

I was spoiled at a young age being a fan of the Montreal Canadiens. I watched Guy Lafleur from the time he arrived in Montreal. He quickly became my hockey hero for a good reason. I was fortunate to meet him in Niagara Falls where I asked him to autograph my Habs jersey. I put a piece of cardboard inside the jersey, gave him a Sharpie and said to him: Make sure your autograph is HUGE! He looked up and giggled and replied: not a problem! This is the first time I ever got emotional at the passing away of a hockey legend. I noticed many others had red eyes talking about him: Yvan Cournoyer, Ron Maclean to name a few. Guy Lafleur alias "The Flower" The man, the myth, the legend. The world has lost a great ambassador of the sport. You will be missed Guy. RIP

When we were kids back in the day its was GUY gets the puck, he SHOOTS, at the local outdoor hockey rink, we all loved Guy Lafleur. A sad day in hockey. Rest easy Guy.

Despite being a Leafs fan, it’s sad to hear that one of the most meaningful and dedicate players to our game died. Guy Lafleur was a legend to everyone on and off the ice. Also not to mention no matter who we’re fans for we can’t deny that he was an icon. It’s been a sad week for hockey fans as we lost three legends Mike Bossy, Clark Giles and now Guy Lafluer. May all R.I.P and we all remember their contributions to our game today !!

I met Guy Lafleur during training camp in his rookie season of 1971. I was attending Dawson College at the time, and as I got on the Metro at the Atwater Station I saw him standing in the corner of the train, and I went up and started talking to him. I rode with him all the way to the Longueuil Metro Station on the South Shore. Before I left I made sure to get his autograph. I don't remember what we talked about, but I'm sure it was hockey-related! My parents were very impressed that I had met him. He was very humble and very approachable, a people's superstar! RIP, Monsieur Lafleur.

Guy was an amazing hockey player, but more so an incredible person with the fans. RIP Guy, your legend will never be forgotten.

Best player on the best team in the 70s. Very sad indeed.

Such a difficult year for many of the hockey heroes of my youth. RIP Guy and thank you for playing a part in my introduction to hockey, the greatest team sport on the planet.

I was only a kid watching guy Laflaur, made everything look easy ❤ Rest in peace

I am a Leafs fan but remembered his great contribution to hockey. I will never forget his speed coming down the side hair flying back. The 70s had great hockey no helmets. Rest in peace great one.

I've been crying all weekend, watching everything that is available about Guy. We just lost the last legend, way too soon.

I Loved this Amazing Athlete.! He was Great!!

I'll never be the same I love you flower

Oh No! 😢😢😢 RIP we lost another great hockey legend

My mom grew up with him playing in Montreal, he was her childhood hero. RIP to a legend

RIP Guy… respectfully, from a Leafs fan.

We lost a lot of Greats in past 2 season Rod Gilbert , Tony Esposito, Clark Gillies , Mike Bossy, and Guy Lafleur .RIP all the greats . I remember all from my childhood . And we lost others as well .

We lost a legend today, Guy Lafleur defined an era with a legendary franchise. RIP Guy, you'll forever be a part of the Montreal Canadiens.

What an athlete. Super competitive. Wonderful man. RIP Flower. Your smile will surely be missed. Until we meet again...

I have been a Sabres fan since 1970 but my greatest memories are the Sabres games w' the Habs, Lafleur via Hockey Night in Canada, Danny Galavin, those were the days, Flower - God rest in Peace you were GREAT!

First mike now guy!! We’re losing legend like crazy. RIP Guy.

Guy Lafleur killed my Bruins in the late 70’s. What a hockey player! RIP Guy.

He retired long before I was even born but he’s still a legend. RIP🌸

A True Legend.

My two hockey heroes were Jean Beliveau and Guy Lafleur. I'll never forget those nights in the 70s, cheering my Habs on to all those Cups, watching Guy perform magic. I also saw him once driving his Ferrari Daytona down Sherbrooke Street near Crescent. What a character, on and off the ice. RIP, Guy. I'll never forget. . .

My all-time favorite player. He was clutch.

Thanks for all the hockey memories Guy Lafleur...RIP

Thank you Mr. Brunt. Wonderful tribute.

I grew up a North Stars Fan, but Guy was my favorite Player! Just his name is Cool

Islanders fan here. My condolences to all Montreal fans. This is a big, big loss. A bad week for all fans of the game. Phuck cancer.

RIP Guy , Mike Bossy Class act

As a kid on the Canadian Prairies in the 70's Hockey was then, as now a religion and no matter which team you worshipped the magic of the mid 70's Canadiens surpassed them all. For the couple of generations that still remember, names like Dryden, Cournoyer, Savard, Shutt and of course Lafleur. I remember on New Year's eve 1975 watching the Canadiens against the Russian Red Army, or Dryden vs. Tretiak and the stunning 3-3 tie. All those games, Super Series and Playoffs, and leading them all Guy Lafleur. R.I.P.

Thank you. Brings back lots of souvenirs.

He was the reason why I became a hockey fan all those years ago.

Guy! Guy! Guy! Mon idole ! 😥 Repose en paix démon blond. Mes sincères condoléances à la famille.

REST IN PEACE...BROTHER .I can still REMEMBERED my eldest brother told us about some guy named guy the flower and then we began aware of that amazing hockey player and we are hockey fans since.

For goaltenders in the 1970s, there was no sight more scary than Lafleur coming down the wing with the puck. RIP Flower

Merci Guy, une légende du Québec!

The 2 greatest goal scorers of all-time guy lafleur and Mike bossy gone. Sad time for hockey. RIP.

Watched the Habs during the 70's. #10 has always and will be forever my favorite player. I am saddened at the loss of a childhood hero.

My Favorite Hockey player from when I was a kid. I saw him mostly play against Boston we got WSBK tv in New York our cable channel. I also saw him play against the Rangers and Islanders. whenever Montreal was on. great Hockey player the best. I see coach Bowman , Yvan Cournoyer , we all miss him .

RIP Guy Lafleur. What a sad day.

Always will be my favorite player. Those were the good ole days.

3 legends all of differing talents gone in the last 4 months. Guy was the most flamboyant, Bossy the most natural and gillies a tree in front of the net. RIP Guy, you have joined the throngs of other greats now!

Born in Winnipeg in 1973 and I had Montreal Canadiens pajamas. Guy Lafleur was my first all time favorite player. A legend and a great guy off the ice also. RIP TO THE BLONDE DEMON!

My childhood hero. Jus watching these highlights brought me back to that happy part of my childhood when they were the greatest team on the planet.

I always remember the grace and speed of Lafleur. My favourite player is and will always be Gilbert Perreault. When Lafleur and Perreault combined for Canada it was a thing of beauty. Whilst Perreault was the original and best Buffalo Sabre, I have always wondered what Lafleur and Perreault could have been if somehow Perreault had ended up a Montreal Canadien as well. May Lafleur rest in peace. A true maestro of hockey.

RIP Guy Lafleur, you will be remembered forever. Not only a great hockey player, but also a great heart always helping everyone his whole life. Respect.

Man, we’ll miss him, RIP a legend 🥺

So sad he was so Awesome greatest Hockey player ever to me sadly missed R.I.P Condolences and prayers to the family

Thank you Mr. Lafleur for celebrating and entertaining us not only with your amazing skills on ice. But much more off the ice as the Ambassador for les Canadiens, the sport of Hockey and on behalf of Quebec and Canada as a true humanitarian. You are forever the Montreal Canadiens and Canada Hockey's Ultimate "Number 10" in our hearts. Once again, thank you from Canada.

Never a habs fan but you had to respect his abilities as a player..had the chance to see him play live in the forum back in the day. RIP Guy you were a legend.

Rip my favorite player...You gave me some great memories THANK YOU FOREVER!

A classic man, he made it look so easy RIP play well in the big rink in the sky

My favorite player growing up.

When I saw the title I went "oh oh, no way!" I'm still coming to grips with Bossy's passing. I didn't like the Canadiens for obvious reasons but I always rooted for Lafleur. I got to see him up when he joined the Rangers and although I hated the Rangers (Islanders fan then), I secretly rooted for Lafleur still. He was truly a great player!!

A pure hockey player.

As a young boy I remember the excitement in the Montreal Forum when Guy Lafleur stepped on the ice and the fans in the entire stadium would bang on the bottom of their seats with their hands and shout ,"Away Guy". Cheering him on to score another goal. He usually did .

What a legendary man.
