guyser Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) No classier gentleman in the game. Sad day for hockey. And ....the best of them all will sadly be next. Poor Gordie Howe is not doing all that well. Edited December 3, 2014 by Guyser2 Quote
overthere Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 I met Mr. Beliveau once. He opened a new community arena, cut the ribbon with the mayor in a small northern town. He came as advertised: a class act from start to finish. RIP. Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!
On Guard for Thee Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 I got his autograph when I was a kid after a game against the Leaf's in Maple Leaf Gardens. I got some other one's as well but some of them seemed to be in a hurry to get back to the dressing room. Jean seemed happy to spend a little time with a bunch of little starry eyed punks. It was a thrill for sure. I'll bet he's got a garden hose going over a bit of a rink as we speak. Quote
