"Guy Lafleur's impact on hockey is felt far beyond the Montreal Canadiens and Quebec. Guy was idolized across America, and his passion, flamboyance and talent charmed many hockey fans across the NHL. Guy wasn't only an electrifying player, he was first and foremost an outstanding human being. Hockey has lost one of its pillars, and I join the entire Canadiens organization in offering my deepest condolences to Guy's family and loved ones."
