Sadly my memory of seeing him at the Forum was of him smoking a cigarette before a game, he was with his wife who was in a blue chinchilla coat. He floated on ice...Le D'emon Blond..

Being from Mtl I got to see lots of him. That being said, although Mtl is/was my team (gave up hockey in the 2003 strike) Boston was always my 2nd team, amidst all the teams thereafter. I even remember the days were the game started 1/2hr later than the start on TV. So they had a fresh reel to show. Ahh, the good old days

Like everyone else, Guy had is own demons... smoking was just one of them.

Not surprising they are Quebecois. They don't believe in the federal govt period, with the exception of "show us the money" when it suits them. Born and raised in Mtl, I now live in the Maritimes, which was the bet thing I ever did
