I grew up in Montreal and was fortunate to go to games once in a while and watch "Big" Jean and the other great players of the era. He always was one of the classy players on and off the ice. I didn't appreciate just how great hockey was then.
I know it amounts to treason as a Canadian, but I've lost all interest in Hockey in the last dozen years. Too many of the players are not there for the love of the game but rather the big contracts.
R.I.P. Jean.
Sadly Gordie Howe isn't doing well either.

I still love hockey, but it was a different game back then for the reasons you mentioned! There was nothing like watching Jean, Yvon, Serge and the rest of the boys on hockey night in Canada!:thumbup::thumbup:
