    Cancer sticks will kill you. I wonder if he died from lung cancer? Chain smokers get screwed even decades after quitting just ask Spock. He died gasping for air in the end.

    It's pretty ironic that the Bruins are in town on Monday. Lafleur destroyed them.

    Wasn't he Nicky Santoro's favorite player? He always talked about this guy like he was the Pele or Maradona of hockey.

    Great athlete.
    Those old school players made the world better...
    Gifting wonderful memories to all hockey fans.
    Guy Lafleur was a name that was well-known to even
    the casual hockey fan.

    RIP

    Quebec government offers national funeral for Guy Lafleur, if family wants it...

    ~~~
    Strange designation.
    Does Quebec consider itself a nation?

    Nikki knew. Lafluer was the Gretzky of his time. Speed and a blistering shot. Most likey the fastest guy on the ice every time he stepped his skates on it. Just a great talent. I think he liked the drinky a lot too. Prolly what led to his death. When i go to a sporting event it is only to watch a super super star and the flower was on that list.
