Throwback Thursdays - The Legendary Montreal Canadiens - Guy Lafleur

This weeks edition of Throwback Thursdays is centered around one of the Greatest Montreal Canadiens of all time, The Flower, Guy Lafleur.  As stated earlier Guy Lafleur is our all time favorite Hockey Player, Past or Present.  And do we have a Collection for you.  Check this out from the 1977-78 O-PEE-CHEE Set.

We told you Guy Lafleur, The Flower was our Favorite Player.  However, we did not know how many Variants there really was for this set, we were delighted as we leafed through our set and found these 7 Guy Lafleur Variants.

Now for those who might argue that Guy Lafleur was Legendary as a member of the Montreal Canadiens.  Let us Point out here that in this set of Variants we find that Guy Lafleur in the 1976-77 NHL Season, get this now was:

                          - 1st in Scoring with 136 Points
                          - 1st in Assist with 80
                          - 2nd only to Steve Shutt in Goals with 56
                          - 3rd in Game Winning Goal with 8
                          - 1976-77 Record Breaker with the 136 Points
                          - 1976-77 Record Breaker with 80 Assists
                          - And on top of that Guy Lafleur was a 1st Team All-Star

That right 1st Team All-Star.  So just from these cards alone we find a lot of proof that surports our vote for Guy Lafleur being one of the Greatest Players to have ever played for the Montreal Canadiens and we might say in the NHL.  Anyone who watched the games in the 1970s will remember Lafleur breaking down the wing and scoring that signature goal from just inside the point.
