Montreal Canadiens greats Jean Beliveau (left) and Maurice (Rocket) Richard exchange a torch during closing ceremonies after the final game at Montreal Forum, Monday, March 11, 1996. Former great Ken Dryden writes that although Richard was the most legendary player of all-time, he was not much more than average size. He possessed no blinding speed, no overpowering shot. The lingering image of him now more than 50 years after his last game is his eyes. Wide, wild, his pupils so focused on his task, to get to the net, they’d bore a hole through anything that stood in their way. (CP PICTURE ARCHIVE/Ryan Remiorz)
