I wish him well.
My favourite player of all time. An absolute hero of a player. Off ice, I remember as a child that some young kid was stabbed and left for dead in an alley in Calgary.
The child was wearing his favourite Canadiens jersey at the time. Lafleur arranged for him to come to Montreal to watch a game when he had recovered.
Lafleur said afterward that he was really nervous because he promised the kid a goal before the game.
He scored two.
