Bonus: Reflecting on the legacy of Montreal Canadiens legend Guy Lafleur (Courtesy Locked On Canadiens)

A few hours after news broke that Guy Lafleur, Montreal Canadiens legend and Hockey Hall of Famer, had passed away at the age of 70, Locked On Canadiens hosts Scott Matla and Laura Saba recorded a special bonus ad-free episode to share their immediate reaction.
They reflected on the legacy he leaves behind and tried to contextualize the loss of a favourite Canadiens great, and what it means to the Habs, the city of Montreal, the province of Quebec, the NHL, and hockey as a whole. It would be easy to list his many on-ice accomplishments, such as five Stanley Cups, three Art Ross trophies, the most points scored by any Montreal Canadien, and many, many more, but what he truly meant to the hockey community was more than just the way he played - it was the way he embodied what it meant to be legend off the ice as well.
