"On behalf of the entire Canadiens organization, I extend my sincerest condolences to the Lafleur family. Having grown up in Montreal, I witnessed the brilliance of "The Flower" in my youth, and I'll cherish those memories forever. Guy is an icon in Quebec sports history. Admired and respected by all for his athletic achievements, his actions off the ice best characterized the man and the exceptional role model that he was. Guy always represented the Montreal Canadiens with charisma and passion, and we celebrate the legacy of this larger-than-life star."
