Guy Lafleur

Lafleur is one of those names that carries the whole mythology of a sport. Scoring 50 goals in six straight seasons is the kind of sustained brilliance that almost feels impossible to repeat, and the helmetless, wind-in-the-hair image of him flying down the wing tells you everything about his fearless style. What draws me to him is how completely he belonged to Quebec, a regional hero elevated to national treasure with the Order of Canada. The triple Art Ross run shows it was no fluke. He died in 2022, but in Montreal he never really stopped blooming.
