" The toughest part for Guy was where he would play. He was a centre in junior and everybody thought he’d replace Beliveau, and, of course, nobody could,” said Bowman.

“We had him at centre but he couldn’t do faceoffs. The league was full of good guys there. Bobby Clarke, (Jean) Ratelle, and Boston would come into the Forum with Phil Esposito and their powerhouse in 1971 and Lafleur couldn’t get a faceoff,” said Bowman."
