Nobody in professional sports does ceremony and tributes like Montreal Canadiens.
We are proud 💙🦷❤️🏒🥅
Couldn’t agree more. They are the best.
You forgot about the Yankees!!
And the worst? The Leafs.👎🏾
@@Dan-nt2yb not the time
Hearing the crowd cheer gave me chills. Nobody does ceremonies like the Montréal Canadiens
Guy would never wear a face diaper
@@Afterlife7377 damn son you need help
Incredible love for a very star
@@Afterlife7377 You should wear a diaper over your mouth! Guy Lafleur would wear a mask to protect others.
@@frank_qc8506 I can’t 😂
The most emotional pre-game ceremony i've ever seen. RIP Lafleur.
Love ya junkie, way to be
Lafleur got the jab....it finished him off.
I agree you could really feel that , he was a special hockey player
@@harleydavidson3586 not the time or place dude
When Saku Koivu came back to play after beating off cancer! Same level of epicness!!
But best of best for me was Maurice ''Rocket'' Richard tribute on the last NHL game in Montreal Forum. (The OG habs temple)
Only in Montreal can you clear the boards of ads for a memorial. Incredible.
As a kid growing up in Pittsburgh in the 70's, we had the struggling Penguins. Maybe 6000 fans on a good night. We always made it a point to get to the games when the Montreal Canadiens visited. It goes without saying the Canadiens were the ultimate hockey team at the time, and it was actually artistic to watch. When you think of all of the legendary Canadiens' players of that era, Guy Lafleur stood out from the crowd. He was a combination of grace, speed, class and lethality. I will never forget seeing him play on many occasions, both in person and on television. Isn't it fitting this tribute took place when the Canadiens played the Boston Bruins? Two great historic franchises with a storied past. God Bless you Guy. God Bless the Canadiens.
Lafleur was an idol of #66!!
Beautiful tribute ... kudos from a 63 year old Habs fanatic from Quebec.
@@Mr_Spock512 It was well done!!
Same here, Joe. Back in the day when the Pens were blacked-out locally, we always watched the Rangers and Islanders on WOR thanks to a new thing called cable. As much as I loved watching those two teams, nothing was like seeing Lafleur and the Canadians. Skillwise, on-ice presence...he was truly in a league by himself until Gretzky and Lemieux joined the NHL.
@@Chilly_Billy That must have been hard for Lafleur when Gretzky arrived in the league , he was so dominant compare with anyone else , especially when they met in 1981 playoff , he knew he wasn't the best anymore after that...
Bruins fan here- RIP Mr. Lafleur- amazing player during his time- another classy ceremony by the Habs- Salut Guy!
Kind of glad that his name is pronounced "GEE" because just imagine a bunch of habs fans just chanting the word guy over and over again.
@@lime7494 How did you like the tribute? Instead you make a silly comment!
The Canadiens absolutely do tributes better than anyone
@@dennislalka8027 I did like the tribute. I find it touching. However, I use humor as a way to look past emotion because I don’t control the well
No one asked nor cares if you're a bruins fan
i have carried the same Guy Lafleur hockey card in my wallet for over 40 years for good luck. he was and is my favourite hockey player ever.
Great idea, cool thing
Long-time Canadiens fan in New Zealand here. I can tell you the tears are flowing like a flood after seeing this.
R.I.P., Guy.
De Montréal,
Merci for your support! 🌹🌿
It's been a bad week for the world of Hockey, first Mike Bossy then Guy Lafluer. Both were too young, I watched both in amazement as a teenager and gave up all other sports to concentrate on one, Ice Hockey. Thank you Guy, thank you Mike. Both were great ambassadors for the game and we're gentleman on and off the ice. RIP.
Feel the same and well said. Idolized Bossy growing up and marveled at LaFleur's fluid play. Great tributes to both players by Montreal 🥲
Got goosebumps as soon as they started singing “Olé”. Beautiful tribute and an amazing sign of respect for, in my opinion, the greatest Canadien of all time.
Rest In Peace to an absolute icon of the game. ♥️
The ole part was the best part tbh - chilling and fan driven.
The rest was ok and respectful but the ole was magical.
@@JeffKing310 The rest was ok? How about Guy talking and how about his team mates watching on? How about the song My way? Were you awake last night?
@@dennislalka8027 It was ok - nice for sure.
@@JeffKing310 for someone that had the chance to be there i can assure you that the energy was 10x better than what this video shows
If you ask the question, what is a hockey player? The answer is Guy Lafleur.
Bruins fan - 57 years old. But yes. He hurt my children bruins dreams but wow. Loved Guy !! Gods speed
Any player could only dream of getting a 20 minute standing ovation like this. Absolutely insane and well deserved. Montreal fans are like no other sporting fans on this planet. If that didn't give you shivers and make you feel proud for hockey and it's history you are brutal and I do not like you!! Go habs go! Go habs go!!
Flower and The Rocket are the models of the Franchise that totally deserves the long ovations.
Maurice Richard was the Ultimate Warrior and Guy was the Man of People.
Despite their passing, Legends and Heroes NEVER dies.
Montreal is the MECCA of Hockey! The fans are the craziest and most passionate in the 🌎. They know how to celebrate their heroes and demand on players who are not performers.
11:25 13:40 Crowd wasn't ready to say goodbye to Guy just yet with the moment of silence. Props to Lacroix for letting it go a little longer. Everybody needed that.
In the 10 last seconds hearing the whole crowd go silent to hear Lacroix announce Guy’s name one last time and then the pure roar of the crowd coming back was truly powerful.
RIP GUY
🔵⚪️🔴
That's what I really like a bout our fan base
This is why im proud to be a Montreal Canadiens fan. No place in the world like this
Quite possibly the greatest tribute to a player that's passed on that I've seen, RIP Guy.
As a long time Bruins fan I take my hat off to the Canadians and their fans for a fantastic and truly a deserved tribute to a great hockey player
I'm sure as Guy Lafleur looked down tonight it must of brought a tear to his eyes to see how much he was loved by all the fans in Montreal and really all of Quebec
He truly was one of a kind a great player and truly a people's person
RIP Guy
Thank you sir ... Guy is now another legend for us Quebecers like the Rocket and Beliveau.
I live 25 miles from where he was born (Thurso, Qc) ... the guy has been a hockey God around here for as long as I can remember. Nicest guy you could ever talk to.
He was a great player. All hockey fans across the country admired Guy. He was a great player on a great time. I was a Hawks fan but you have to appreciate greatness. Guy was that
My favorite athlete of all time. I drove 8 hours and scalped a ticket for the Lafleur retirement in Feb 1985. First time at The Forum.
Huge respect as a Leafs fan. Watched every second of this. Respect is earned and that man paid his dues.
This is when you realise that the meaning behind playing for the montreal canadiens is more than just hockey
Man, if this guy doesn’t inspire a bunch of young Montréal Canadiens, what else possibly could. RIP, Mr, Lafleur.
- a Leafs fan
i sincerely hope so, that it does motivate the young players. R I P Guy
It won’t, the great players of today don’t play with their spirit as much, they play for that 💵
Montreal fans are the greatest in the world. They know how to appreciate their heroes and icons over the years and pay tribute like no other. The longest most respectful standing ovation ever in sports. Guy was loved and idolized by Montreal fans of all ages. ❤ rip guy Lafleur.
If you haven't already, you can go check the forum closing ceremony and the ovation for the rocket, Koivu's return, and the ceremony for Beliveau. These still give me goosebumps and cheer me up when I feel down looking at the habs performance this year.
@@karlhalmos-westram3221 yes I have seen them all on CZcams and those are next level amazing for sure. Saku was beloved too. Hope they retire his jersey too and be the first European to be retired in Montreal . The rocket deserved it and was in tears.
@@karlhalmos-westram3221 yes they’re not doing very well at all without carey. Hope coach St. Louis will get a brand new start next year and turn things around. I’m from Calgary and obviously our flames are doing insane this year.
Maurice "Rocket" Richard...
I'm a Boston Bruins fan and I watched him growing up as a kid here in Boston. Definitely made me cry a few times as a Boston fan and hater of the Canadian's, but he was an amazing hockey player! RIP Guy
Yeah, they had a whole hot damn team of Bruins killers, including Blues senior consultant Larry Robinson.
That was insane. Rest in peace Guy Lafleur
Poetry on ice. Guy Lafleur was my mom idol growing up in Quebec city. They had the same age and Guy was dating my mom’s cousin so she had the chance to meet him a couple of times. Guy was a real gentleman she told me and he was beloved by all the city when he was playing for the Quebec Remparts. Now 75, my mom still talking about Guy with the same passion and you can see stars in her eyes whenever she talks about him and how gracious he was playing hockey, the best sport in the world!
It also touches me to see that fans from great hockey city like Boston, New York, Chicago Detroit, Toronto and the rest of Canada have the same respect for Guy Lafleur, the hockey player, but also the real gentleman he was. Guy Guy Guy!
I’m an Australian who has never seen an nhl game but I have tears in my eyes. Amazing tribute.
NHL66, bro. Free streaming. Familiarize yourself with the game, make sure you choose the games with Canadian commentators, and welcome aboard.
If you live in Melbourne you’ll have the chance to see two exhibition games on 23 and 24 September. It’ll be the Arizona Coyotes playing against the Los Angeles Kings.
@@kobyschechter8163 I will be going to Melbourne (only just over a 1 hour flight from home), proudly wearing my Habs jersey.
@@JoTheSnoop Are you in Sydney?
@@kobyschechter8163 Yes.
Il n'y aura jamais d'autre Guy Lafleur. Numéro dix pour toujours.
I don't care much for hockey today, but I remember that the day Lafleur first retired was one of the saddest days of my life. RIP, Guy.
Jacques Lemaire was responsible for Lafleur originally retiring because he wanted Lafleur to play more of a defensive game which wasn't his style!!
Hey we have the same name lol
@@wilnerolivier7971 True. And he said it clearly at the time. It's also true that, objectively, Lafleur was well past his prime by that time, although all of us fans wanted desperately to believe otherwise. It can also be said that Lafleur's decline started when he lost Lemaire as his brilliant centerman.
@@SL-jo4om Lafleur still had some game left as evidenced when came out of retirement to play for NYR & the Nords!! What's so messed up about that situation was that had he not been forced into retirement by Lemaire then he would've won another Cup in '86 by playing with his longtime teammates Robinson & Gainey. After playing with a great goalie in Dryden for most of his career, he would've played with a goalie who eventually became great in Roy.
I knew what to expect from the Rocket ovation at the last game in the Forum. Montreal fans do it right. RIP GUY #10
No doubt!!
Also when Jean Beliveau passed away.
Awn Yvan was really holding his tears back... Hard stuff to watch...
everyone in the hockey world loves you and will miss you
RIP Guy Lafleur.
Had the absolute honour of being in the audience tonight, was absolutely an emotional evening and the applause for Guy will stick with me forever
As well it Should. that is reserved for only the greats 👍 happy for you 😊
It's telling that even teenagers in the audience were cheering. The legend of Lafleur made an impression on people that weren't even born when he was playing.
every quebecer was cheering, my 7y/o young brother was admiring guy
I grew up being a Leaf fan living in Toronto, but my dad and I would always watch the Montreal Canadiens in the 70’s when we got the chance to catch a game. Mr. Guy Lafleur was my favourite Montreal Canadien. I loved watching him fly down the right side of the ice. He did everything smoothly and with incredible efficiency. There was no one like Guy Lafleur. He was a class act and an incredible player. He was simply awesome. What a player and gentleman. My heart goes out to his family. He will never be forgotten. He is a legend forever. God bless Guy.
wow! I feel your respect and admiration. Merci beaucoup Paul. 🙏
Beautiful tribute Sir!
Was not a hockey fan as a kid because there was no team in Texas in the late 80s early 90s. But just before leaving home each morning for class during High School, I would watch Sportscenter. It was my only link to hockey. So I would watch highlights of guys like Brett Hull, Lemieux, Gretzky, and others. But one guy with no helmet and flowing but receding hairline that played for the Nordiques stood out. That was my introduction to Guy Lafleur. He was past his prime but he could still play and was one of the most graceful hockey players I've seen to this day.
As a kid growing up in Boston in the 70's, I first found my love for ice hockey and the NHL. As a rabid Bruins fan, I was all in on the rivalry between The Canadiens and the Bruins. Guy LaFleur was supposed to be the enemy, the bad guy but, I would watch time and again as Guy and the rest of the Canadiens would break my heart and make me say wait til next year...yet as much as I was supposed to hate the Canadiens, I admired them for their grace, speed and skill. Steve Shutt was one of my all time favorite players (sshhhhh don't tell anyone I said that lol). The images of seeing Guy racing up ice, hair flowing in the wind he generated and making a silky stick hanfle, deke and depositing the puck in the net was just a thrill and I am glad I got to see such an exemplary talent play! Rest in Peace Guy!
As a Boston fan
I agree he was special and anybody that loves hockey can agree he was really special

@@enoughofthis Its Gerry
@@bostonacexx2628 been a lonnng time
Nobody does it better than Montreal!!!❤️👌👍❤️🇨🇦
As a Blue Jackets fan who isn’t even old enough to remember Rick Nash’s first seasons, this tribute hit me way harder than I expected it to. I have an appreciation for the greats of the game that I was not able to witness for myself, and Guy was one of those players. The fans just added onto the emotions after the tribute video. It’s clear how much he meant to the city and even to Canada as a whole.
Growing up in western Canada as a young boy in the seventies, Guy was my hero. I wanted to make the NHL and play with him 😂 I was 9 on may 10,1979. I was crying after the 2nd period when Boston was leading 3-1. My parents told me Montreal would come back and win. When Guy scored that game tying goal… well its a moment I’ll never forget. Thanks Guy for all the memories, Rest In Peace.
yes! montreal would always come back and win . amazing 👏
You know you've left a mark in this world and touched lives when tens of thousands of people give you a 10 minute ovation because they refuse to let you be disrespected by ending it too early lol I just love this tribute to this amazing legend and the class of Montreal in their tributes.
Appropriate ... 10 minutes and 10 seconds for number 10. #guyguyguy
The sheer length of this tribute is fantastic.
10 minutes 10 seconds ... wink wink!
He was my hero. I feel so sad. I met him and got a photo with him. We should all be so luck to meet our heros.
Loved the crowd singing to the ghosts, to the legends, to the glories past. Time for the new group to reignite the passions of this fanbase.
I've said it many times. The NHL is most relevant when the Habs are relevant. Le coeur d'hockey.
indeed, it showed on their young attention span and own contributions thus far...the awe was evident. thank you Guy Lafleur.
As a Toronto Maple Leaf fan growing up watching the Canadiens in the 70's they were the bar everyone was shooting for Guy Lafleur was on of the greats.
Cried the whole time, I had the honor of watching Guy play live, he was my all time favorite player. Rip Guy..
Hard to say it as I am not from Montreal.. truly they are the most passionate fans in all of sport. Fitting tribute to THE superstar of a team full of superstars.
And that's how you honor a legend, only in Montreal!!!
With the second oldest team in the league as the visitor. After this coming season, the Bruins are turning 100.
RIP "Flower". Thanks for some of the best memories in my life watching you
What a fantastic tribute to guy he was my dad's favorite players for yrs before the passing of my dad who passed in 2010 my dad and guy must be in heaven together ❤
❤️❤️
Awesome tribute! even getting rid of the adds on the boards, they should leave them that way. A great an mesmerizing player to watch and glad I saw him play. R.I.P. Guy.
The boards are so much beautiful with less products logo. But i get it $$$
@@user-xg6sx5ev9u yea I get the money too but today's game has for me is just not watchable. All the digital ads and all, the NHL itself as ruined the game, their own product.
It have to be a French Canadian to understanding the true meaning of the canadiens de Montréal and is French legends . RIP ti-Guy.
Says a guy posing as elvis.
😃😃😃😃
@@laurasplicer712 soooo ?
I was there. There has never been an outpouring of love like this or any other professional athlete. I had tears in my eyes and other grown men, some young some old, were crying. I am fortunate to have seen the great 1970's Canadian teams.
The ovation for Rocket Richard was the best I’ve ever seen in any sport when they closed the Forum. Not even this touches it and this was tear jerking as well.
Respect from Sweden!
Rest in peace Guy!
RIP Guy! Born 1980…we love you and are missed!! You were the best!!
I have so much love & respect for the Montreal fans . R.I.P. #10
the world has lost a superstar hockey player
Quebec has lost a family member
Class of the entire sports world
As a Leafs fan I want to thank Guy for everything he did for our game, rest easy legend. ❤🤍💙
Although I’m no longer a Montreal Canadians fan or even a hockey fan this celebration takes me back to a time when it meant something to play for the Montreal Canadians. Guy LaFleur was a class act who played for a class organization. That goal that he scored against the Bruins in Game 7 to send it to overtime still gives me chills. Well done Montreal fans!!
I cried
Kid who grew up in the 70,s hes my GOAT ,RIP Guy!

FOREVER ‼️
Poor Yvan trying not to cry
After Guy's passing, Yvan said that he had lost a brother :(
@@logo960 You realize there are two Yvans in this one.
Was my hero growing up I got to see them win cup after cup as a child. He was the last of the old school pre Gretzky days. RiP The Flower
That.....was......beautiful
As a Bruins fan this was absolutely touching RIP Guy!
10 minutes ovation for the Greatest #10
St.Peter ( the Heavenly Hab GM) has now given Toe Blake one helluva powerplay unit with Beliveau between the Rocket and The Flower with Butch Bouchard and Doug Harvey looking after the backend and Jacques Plante between the pipes. Immortal !! GO HABS GO!
My childhood hero.... is now gone.
Thank you Guy, for 5 Cups and so many happy Saturday nights from this NB kid.
i remember those days, as i saw the Habs totally dominate everyone, with Guy being one of their major contributors R I P Guy
My favourite player as a kid, just an absolute legend.
R.i.p Guy Lafleur , so happy I got to see you play in person
I'm gutted.As a kid growing up in MTL ,whether it was street hockey or ice hockey everyone wanted to be Lafleur.We all had Lafleur shirts. my first time at Montreal forum i was 10 yrs old in 1978 MTL vs Boston which thev rivalry back then was insane,the only player i watched on the ice was Lafleur even without the puck or on the bench.he was every kids idol.i am so saddened by the news.Always and Forever #10 GUY LAFLEUR R.I.P.
The most exciting player of all time and my favorite player as a kid. Bumped into him once in Montreal, what a gentleman. He took the time to speak to me.
That had to have been out of body experience. I would be starstruck if I met a legendary player.
RIP #10, thank you for showing a 9 year kid from California how great hockey could be in the 1977 Stanley Cup playoffs!! You broke my late father's heart many times (he was a huge bruins fan), but all his compliments about the greatness of the Habs ended up making me a fan LOL. GHG!!
Fière d’être québécois la fierté d’un peuple merci monsieur Guy
Guy was a great player and an extremely nice man.
Merci pour tout, Guy! Repose toi maintenant, au revoir! 🔵⚪️🔴
One word. MAGNIFICENT.
I come back to this video, well after a year since his passing. I still cry. I wasn’t alive during Mr.Lafleurs hay day, but I’ve watched constant replays and old games from his time, and analyzed his play in every aspect. I miss you Guy, taken too soon to a horrible sickness. I can still see that hair flowing, and that speed you carried with you everywhere you went on the ice. I wish I could’ve met you Le Demon Blonde, even just to say goodbye.
I am a huge Boston Bruins fan who grew up hating the Montreal Canadians. I always respected the talent though especially Guy Lafleur. That was an awesome tribute by the fans. RIP The Flower.
You know what, its fitting to have our favourite rivals the Bruins in the Bell Centre to help us remember Guy, it adds to show the class of the NHL as a whole and the amount of respect Guy has earned across the entire hockey world
I will forever cherish the day I met him at his restaurant on my birthday it was an honor for me what a great man and humble human being, we will never see another hockey player like him, I will miss him my idol and friend one of the greatest, the icon, the legend, Guy Lafleur rest in peace.
This tribute just showed that actions worth so much more than just words. Thank You Mr. Lafleur for not only entertaining and dazzling us with your great Hockey prowess, but also as an ambassador to the Great "Les Canadiens", the game of Hockey on behalf the NHL, the province of Quebec and this great nation of Canada. Most of all, as a humanitarian and a great role model for all of us outside the game.
We salute you from all of Quebec, Canada, and around the World. Thank you again for celebrating your life with us.
Having been born in 1962 I was lucky to have watched this legends entire career. RIP.❤️
Yep I was born in 1962 too hockey was great back then they played hockey to play hockey today they only play for the money today I don’t watch it anymore two great players gone in less then a week lafleur which was my favourite player with Kenny Dryden
@@nadiacusan3799 .….I was a security supervisor at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto and on a few occasions stopped into Ken’s office to say hello when he was the Leaf President. It would be late at night when I was dropping radios and paperwork off on the same floor. I’ll treasure those fabulous moments forever.
Truly a powerful moment. Beautiful unity... Such a strength.
Thank you Mr. Lafleur.
R.I.P. Guy Lafleur
Montreal have class 👌
Saw this last night on the Bruins network. It was a great hour to live.
I played growing up and had his trading card. I remember staring at it and wanting to be just like him. What a Super Star!! Sad to know he is gone.
I am a Canucks fan, BUT I always had nothing but respect for Guy Lafleur. I have his autograph, and plan to get as many as I can. The day he is buried, I will use a Montreal Canadiens T-Shirt for Guy.... RIP kind SIR....
I watch this tribute with tears and pride RIP Guy
Heaven has signed another Legend. RIP Flower
He was my first favorite player in the 80s. Past his prime, but still flashes of brilliance. Travelled to a nordiques mtl playoff game in 1984. Habs won 2-1 with Lafleur assist. Saw him several times in Harrford which was an hour from my home. Will never forget a goal I wish was in CZcams in the civic center. He roared up the ice, then abruptly stopped by the blue Line and ripped a slap shot right in the net making the goalie look stupid, and Guy all the more amazing. Best single memory for me on Lafleur.
Now he's a Star in Heaven !!!!!
I have as a Leaf fan loved hockey all my life and seen many players come and go. LaFleur was right with the top for sure. Not just a great player but a great human being. I only wish he had played for the Leafs but that was never to be. lol. My condolences to his family.
Guy Lafleur is my favorite Canadiens player for always playing the game clean & with respect. This from a Bruins fan.
un an plus tard, même sans jamais avoir été proche de pouvoir regarder guy lafleur jouer, je ne peux m’empêcher de verser des larmes en regardant cette cérémonie, la fierté et la gloire qu’on apporté les grands du club d’hockey du canadiens de montréal est simplement inexplicable, comment se club vaut autant à la belle province qu’est le québec, je me souviendrai toujours, je suis extrêmement fière de notre peuple et on doit prendre exemple de cette époque
I was otherwise occupied and had not heard about Guy’s illness until shortly after Bossy died.
Very sad week for Canada’s game.
Guy and Bossy were excellent players. I have so many fond memories of their play.
Iconic franchise. Tous mon amours pour les Lafleur's
As a huge fan of Hockey and also as a Montreal Canadians Fan, I just want to take this moment to say some huge Thousand Thanks to Mr Guy Lafleur for all his amazing accessibility with the world and also for all the Stanley Cups that he gave to all of us!!!! We’re gonna miss you so much my friend, but you will always be remembered for ever and ever!!!! Thank You SO Much!!! RIP Guy Lafleur… OXOXXO!!! En tant que grand amateur d’hockey et aussi en tant que grand partisan des Canadiens de Montréal, je voudrais dire un immense Mille Merci à Monsieur Guy Lafleur pour sa très grande accessibilité avec tout le monde ainsi que pour toutes ces coupes Stanley qu’il nous a donnés aussi!!! Nous nous souviendrons à jamais de Monsieur Guy Lafleur et pour cette grande personne qu’il a toujours été!!!! Repose En Paix mon ami et Mille Merci pour tout!!!! Le Numéro Dix; Number Ten!!!!! RIP Guy Lafleur… XOXOXO!!! @Philippe Bouchard!!!! PS. Go Hans Go!!!
He was so important to me as a child in the 1970s. I will forever by thankful for him and Les Canadiens! Merci.
