“ One of the most inspiratioal leaders in Canadien's history.One of my all time favourite players,glad he is still finding success in Anahiem.This set was one of Pacific's better ones. ” -uncaian
“ One of the classiest guys out there. The Canadiens set up an e-mail account when he was dealing with cancer. He sent a note back to everyone who had written to him. As for the card, Pacific always put out a nice, decent-priced product. Only complaint was too many parallels of the base set and of the Cramer's Choice cards. ” -vrooomed
“ Damn Habs. ” -jlaz10
