Guy Lafleur to undergo heart surgery

[jetsforever]

Hope he's alright

Hoping for the best for my first favourite player.

Was he the guy that was chain smoking in the locker room during intermissions? Was always impressed how great of an athlete you have to be to damage your lungs and still skate that fast.

Huge Oiler fan, but Lafleur was always one of my fave hockey players.
Have a personalized autographed photo of him on my fridge.

I even named my daughter after him (Fleur).


Wish him well.

That's rad as f*** man.

It's also a beautiful choice. Even if it is a common noun in French, it doesn't sound cheesy at all to the ears of a native speaker. A flower is a delicate, pure thing. Very elegant name! My great-grandma was called Rose, I love these kind of names

This Bruins fan only caught the tail end of his career, but I respect him very much. An amazing player that I would want on my team any day, and by all accounts a good dude.

Praying for successful treatment and recovery.

Lafleur’s heart was a huge part of what make him such a phenomenal athlete.

His resting heart rate was around 40, and he had a freakish ability to get down to that resting rate within moments after a 2-minute shift. Next shift he’d go up and down the ice a few times, get the puck on his stick, and just explode past a tired defender.

It’s one thing to be fast, but being the guy still skating at fresh-legged speed at the end of the game is something else entirely.

Why is this news merged with this old thread? It’s a completely different issue that the title would suggest.

Seriously. If we can have 4 redundant threads on the main page about winners/losers of the draft can we have at least one about Guy f**g Lafleur having a cancer relapse?

This thread is confusing.

Jesus it was a joke. You must’ve fun at parties

All cool then. There’s been a lot a crap thrown around lately. Sorry I didn’t get the joke.

And to be fair it was pretty random.

It basically was a joke about guy and Mario smoking and playing at an elite level while smoking.

Whoops. Must have been in a bad mood. Went completely over my head.

That said all the best to Flower. It's still sad to see the news tossed at the end of an unrelated thread.

His biggest challenge will be getting proper care. His name his Guy Lafleur, so he should get taken care of properly despite the pandemic. Hopefully!

 

[Deen]

Legend.

Agree deserves a new thread
