Machine of Loving Grace Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think Jean Beliveau was a leader of teams in the 50s even before he had a C on his jersey. Some guys are just leaders, doesn't matter if you give them a letter or not When Doug Gilmour was here for a cup of coffee, he was pretty much the leader of the locker.

habs rule Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Even big Jean beliveau had his detractors at the time he was anointed captain. In fact, didn't he almost lose the team vote to become captain? Barely beating out Boom boom? Yes it was a very close vote, and boom boom did not take it well. I believe he actually retired, 1st time, and did not play for the habs again. They took it seriously in those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
