and the state bird of Louisiana, the state New Orleans is the largest city, is?

That wasn't his point.

#4 used to come to the Skate-a-Thon in Cote St. Luc every single year and skate a few laps with all of us kids. Was an enormous gesture on his part. He never missed once.

Good stuff, Eric.

it's a shame since your jokes are usually super funny.

Also a very nice sentiment.
I'd ask that if any of you have stories of meeting Jean Beliveau, please share them here.

I actually have one.

I was about 7 years old, my older brother went to school with Mr. Béliveau's grand-daughter and it was their confirmation (if it's the same term in english).

During the ceremony, my dad tells me : "That's Jean Béliveau, THE Jean Béliveau i've told you about". My dad was excited as hell but couldn't find it in him to bother him during this family and private time.

After the ceremony, I went to Mr. Béliveau to tell him that my Dad was a huge fan of him.

He actually spent the next 30 min talking to me and my dad, talking about his family and how proud he was of his grand children.

It wasn't much, but it meant the world to my dad who still talks about it to this day.

we suffered a 3-2 loss over the weekend.
I admit at some point in the 3rd I almost imploded with rage.

You should have Mr. Peatwit come and help you. You can both tell the kids funny stories and make fun of everything so that they are not sad when they lose.

the kids thought they were great even though it was 3-0 before we scored and our d-men stayed nowhere near where they were told to.

I was in no mood to laugh or make fun of anything. Those little (frank)ers are lucky they don't have practice until Sunday.

They're gonna skate until they beg for mercy. I will weed out the weak ones by making them beg their parents to let them quit hockey.

Unfortunately, it's usually those that work harder than anyone else.
