Georges St-Pierre Reacts to the Tragic Demise of NHL Legend Guy Lafleur

Georges St-Pierre showed commiseration to the NHL legend Guy Laufer. The Canadian Ice Hockey player died on April 22 at the age of 70.

The first man to score 50 goals in six consecutive seasons in the NHL, Laufer was born on September 20, 1951, and was a Montreal Canadiens legend & Hall of Famer.

Georges St-Pierre, who is from Canada, is a big name in Canadian sporting history.

The MMA GOAT mourned the loss of another Canadian sports icon as he posted an emotional message on his social handle.

St-Pierre, on his Instagram, wrote, “A great man who is also a legend in his sport left today. I extend my sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.” (Translated via Google Translate)

Laufer has led the Canadiens to 5 Stanley Cup wins. Also, he was the all-time leader for the team with 1246 points. The two-time NHL MVP played for 17 hockey seasons.

The Canadian icon has earned big-time honors as becoming the Order of Canada in 1980. He got inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1988 and named into the Order of Quebec in 2005.

Likewise, Georges St-Pierre is an absolute legend in the sport of Martial Arts and became a UFC Hall of Fame.

Why Georges St-Pierre is the MMA GOAT?

‘Rush’ had one of the best stints in UFC history. While the Canadian fighter came into the UFC undefeated, he suffered two losses in the UFC. The interesting thing about his defeats in the UFC was the manner of his defeat and whom he lost, and what did he do in the rematches?

His first loss came to one fighter he looked up to; Matt Hughes submitted Georges St-Pierre in the first round of their UFC championship bout.

His second loss came as the biggest upset in UFC history. One of the strangest seasons of the Ultimate Fighter was when the winner of the show received a chance to face the reigning champion. Matt Serra shocked the world with a surprising performance to knock out ‘Rush’.

The GOAT avenged both losses in even more brutal methods than he lost them.

With one of the longest reigns as a champion in UFC history, staying among the top of the list for most title defenses, winning UFC gold in two-weight divisions, and an amazing 26-2 record put him in the UFC Hall of Fame.
