Description

In this one, we remember the great Guy Lafleur who recently passed away at age 70. We're joined by hockey historian Liam Maguire who knew Guy and knows absolutely everything about Guy and the Habs of that era. To give you an idea of how big a Habs fan Liam is, he proposed to his wife at the Montreal Forum, the only person ever to do so. Liam and the boys remember the life and times of "The Flower," share some awesome stories and talk about the great ceremony Saturday night at the Bell Centre. Liam has an amazing story of the time Guy came and pick him up in his helicopter to visit a dying fan in Shawville. Russ and Jim get into a discussion about mental health, therapy and how no one is immune to having mental issues. The boys discuss their mutual admiration of Flames head coach Darryl Sutter who says hockey fans just want honesty and hard work from their teams. Russ remembers when the Habs played an exhibition game at Moscow vs Central Red Army. Russ played in this game and says the fans threw vodka bottles at them. He tells us why it was the only game he actually hoped his team would lose!
