Montreal Canadiens legend Guy Lafleur scored the final goal of his illustrious Habs career on this day in 1984.
The Montreal Canadiens have had many great players over the years. None have ever been able to match the impressive seasons that Guy Lafleur put together in the late 1970’s. Those teams were the greatest NHL teams ever assembled and Lafleur was the kingpin of the offence.
Lafleur was the first overall pick in the 1971 NHL Draft after scoring 130 goals and 209 points in 62 games with the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL.
