Henri Richard dead at the age of 84. He was a Legend with the Montreal Canadiens . He had a terrific career. One of the best players hockey has ever seen at 5ft 7 inches tall 160lbs, he was a lightening bolt, fast on his feet a great scorer. People said he wouldn't make it into the NHL because of his size, man did he prove them wrong. He will be missed by the Canadiens club and fans everywhere, I watched him play when I was a youngster . My Father and I watched Hockey night in Canada every Saturday night. We loved to watch the Maple Leafs and Canadiens go at it! Imagine Henri won 11 Stanley Cup Rings, more than any other player in the NHL! Nobody will ever come close to that record.
 
Henri Richard holding a glass:  In March 2000, Henri Richard showed off one of the 11 Stanley Cup rings he won during his 20-year career with the Canadiens.
 
11 -- he needed an extra finger--- or perhaps he wore one on his pocket rocket?

at 5' 7 he was probably hard TOO SEE --- around all them gargantua gorilla sized Hockey pucks

R.I.P. Henri
