Made that point today on the show too. In Quebec, his presence even outweighed that of Maurice Richard.

brodeur gets the nod tonight. not a fan of his, but don't understand the negative comments about him continuing to play. these guys should be able to set their timetable for retirement, they've earned that right!
glad tho that alfie gets to retire as a sen. it's how it should be. and i hope brian murry can get better too.

the moment of silence at bell was...amazing.

"Oh captain, my captain, bon voyage," Cournoyer said, his voice choking.

farewell, to not just a great player, but a great man.
