I don't think they were buddies. The way I remember it, when Lemaire was made coach of the Canadiens, he forced Lafleur into retirement by making him a part time player.
Yeah, the hockey skill has gone way up since the 70's, 80s and that's had an affect on the scoring. One little bit of a cure would be expansion but the best way is to make the nets bigger since the goalie gear down sizing seems to be a lost cause.
