RIP “Pocket Rocket”. I saw him play a few times in the Montreal Forum. What a great player.

I was fortunate enough to see Les Glorieux at the Forum in January 1966. I saw Boston, Chicago, and the Leafs come to town.

I have never experienced such intense fan passion as then. I’m still a Habs fan.

Here’s a famous NFB short about “The Sweater”.

It truly captures a facet of Canadian identity.
