Guy Lafleur, or “The Flower,” was unlike anyone else on the ice. His speed, skill, and scoring were hard to believe. A record-setter and a five-time Stanley Cup champion, he inspired countless Quebecers, Canadians, and hockey fans around the world. We’ll miss you, Number 10.

It’s been a long, emotional day for many of us. I leave you tonight with Guy Lafleur and the Stanley Cup at his home last June. For Flower, his final time with the trophy was most special for his granddaughter, and to raise cancer-research money for the Guy Lafleur Fund. pic.twitter.com/w86odfqtzG
