Living hockey legend Guy Lafleur thinks it takes more warriors like Brendan Gallagher to win the Stanley Cup.
“There are players who have their team’s logo tattooed on their hearts, like others who don’t. If you take a guy like Gallagher, he’s a real warrior. I know him, Brendan. He demonstrated it in the last game, ”Guy Lafleur told the Journal on Friday.
Coupe Stanley
But for the “Blond Demon”, the remedy is simple: his teammates only have to play with the same intensity as Gallagher. Nothing more, nothing less.
“If all the players played like him, we would not ask the question whether the Canadiens will win the Stanley Cup or not,” added the former CH star player.
According to him, the Canadian players have no excuse and must give everything they have in their stomachs.
“Gallagher paid the price, but it takes a turn for the worse afterwards. They have no reason not to start the match as they did in the last one. They have proven to the world that they are capable, ”he analyzed.
Guy Lafleur insisted that players must play to win, even if they are shaken by the pandemic.
“In the training sessions, there were no people at the forum at the time and I had as much fun as during a match. It is unfortunate that the assistance cannot be there, but the players have to play to win, ”he concluded.
