Of all the Habs legends seen here, only the Roadrunner is still with us.

Jeez, and Yvan is older than Richard now. This was filmed 97?
I met Maurice Richard in 1988 at Les Gallerie St. Bruno. You could feel the steel in his handshake! My father was overjoyed to meet his idol from his youth. My son was 2 at the time, and he was not impressed with The Rocket, thinking he was going to see a real rocket! Mr. Richard laughed, and held my son while my son cried, consoling him. I only wish I had a camera!
My captain oh my captain..
What a classy tribute by Celine Dion.
I sat beside The Rocket during Toe Blake Night. Apparently the first game he'd been to in years. I was shocked when, after seeing him at center ice during the ceremony, that 10 minutes later he sat beside me. 1st intermission he was swarmed in his seat by autograph seekers. He smiled and signed until the siren for the second period. He disappeared for the second intermission, no doubt for an interview. Waited 'till the 3rd to ask for his autograph. When The Canadiens scored, he sat there stoically. No clap. No outward emotion. He just sat there. I can only suppose that he missed playing so much, that if he wasn't in the game, it didn't mean anything to him. His legendary level of intensity on the ice left nothing after he was done. He left it all on The Ice. RIP Rocket.

They'll be back someday.
Another great Canadian hockey player (there are so many to choose from) is Hayley Wickenheiser. Hayley was a true leader on the ice and has carried it off now that she has retired. Research her!
If irony were a factor, the ultimate honor Maurice Richard received was that fact that Gordie Howe named his little ankle biter dog Rocket.

IVE COME A FULL 360 ON GORDIE ... i BET gORDIE NAMED HIS DOG WITH COMPLETE RESPECT
