Gordie Howe Introduces Jean Beliveau

[@daboys1215]

Two legends now playing on that great big rink in the sky. RIP

[@ponfed]

You gotta love when les légendes gives each other props....

[@bruce8321]

I was lucky enough to meet both Howe and Jean. Two incredible players and even better humans. We were lucky to have them for a while.

[@jonpro15]

He is the reason why players are so proud to put on that jersey. He is a true Legend. R.I.P Mr. Beliveau.

[@danbeliveau6846]

+Jon Pro Very nice of you to say that.

[@danmason530]

My grandfather was on a plane from Halifax to Toronto with Mr Howe. They sat next to each other and talk nothing about hockey really haha just thanked him for his years sacrificed in the game. 3 hours of nothing but family and Canada! But, I still can’t believe he was talking with him all that time and it totally slipped his mind to ask for a autograph 😂❤

[@patsflysfan2]

R.I.P. to both of these men.

[@humankirk9196]

RIP Jean Beliveau 1:42 (1931-2014) RIP Dickie Moore 0:56 (1931-2015) RIP Gordie Howe 0:12 (1928-2016) RIP Henri Richard 0:39 (1936-2020) So many legends are no longer with us...

[@talister106]

Jean Beliveau, was the classiest player I ever saw.

[@why-why-whywhywhy]

He most certainly was all that & much more, my friend. Though we here in Toronto had a rather *classy player* back in the day, as well. He being, *Mr. David Micheal Keon.* Who to this very day, is the greatest ice hockey player to ever wear a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater, as well. IMHO, of course.

[@talister106]

@@why-why-whywhywhy I agree Davey Keon was for Toronto one of the best.

[@Orrscore]

Hold him in the highest esteem of any athlete ever. Total love and respect from this Bruins fan.

[@terry7340]

I grew up in Detroit, played hockey every day in the winter on the park pond off 6 Mile Rd. in Redford, and played intramural hockey at U of M for four years. I got to caddy for Howe once and saw him play a few times. He was a giant.

[@JoshDone]

I'm glad to see that young people are giving the old guard their due. Not only are they absolute legends, they were tougher than any of the powder puffs that play in the NHL today.

[@sergiolandz6056]

they were men that lived during hard times. Now we have men living in soft times.

[@gianleysubban2450]

Jean is my hockey legend I'm actually crying rate now rip

[@smegweevil]

Excellent to see the appreciation by the fans and the NHL for the guys who brought the games to our homes every week, through the long winters.

[@jeancorriveau8686]

My father did his schooling with Jean Béliveau. They reunited in 1993 in Saint-Boniface, Manitoba.

[@edwardyoung522]

Greatness never dies. Jean and Gordie still rock, even though both are now gone. See ya, guys.

[@ronbonora7872]

Two hockey icons!

[@belair55zz56]

I was lucky enough to see them play. RIP # 4.......

[@ronbonora7872]

Yes I saw them both play too. They were fantastic. 14 cups between the two!

[@appletile2887]

They are all gone....😥. Howe, the Rocket, Beliveau..... Kids enjoy your heroes while you can because time passes so quickly and one day you find yourself like me....old , with great memories of times gone by.

[@Ax18NY]

Grand.

[@alexandrebertrand-lafleur3114]

Gordie Howe and Jean Béliveau, RIP!

[@gregkelly2698]

Why did they cut to the crowd as Jean was approaching Gordie? Magic moment whiffed

[@HardRockMiner]

Heaven has one Hell of a hockey team!!

[@willmpet]

I was fortunate enough to meet Gordie Howe one time. His team was practicing in Colorado Springs and Minnesota was playing against Colorado College one year. I’m from Minnesota and watch hockey as much as possible. My favorite is amateur hockey at the high school level because it is non-violent and the boys play so hard!

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

Belliiieveauuuuu!!! #4 ❤💙

[@GlizzyRedDot]

Probably the two greatest players of the 50's And 60's...What class acts on and off the ice...R.I.P Jean Beliveau and best of health to Gordie Howe.

[@davidmuggle8181]

Agility Bolt ... you still have to include the Rocket in that list ...at least throughout the '50s

[@DeeEast]

R.I.P Gordie Howe

[@rickrobitaille8809]

Have these days..really passed us bye..I think so😎

[@erinserb]

great gentlemen, awesome hockey players - simply the best!!! Gordie and Jean!

[@javelin1010]

Jean and Gordie together. Priceless.

[@yannyburger]

2 rather different players in how they played the game but legends and winners both. As a Habs fan, RIP Le Gros Bill. RIP Mr Howe.

[@mattlatorre9084]

Now both of them are gone :( RIP

[@straceepic26]

Yeah, so sad

[@gcdcjccc]

would have loved to see these two legends play together..i'm sure it would have been pure chemistry

RIP Jean Beliveau

[@DerianStockburn]

You're watching his highlights and interviews as well eh? haha

[@robincollum4411]

Derian Stockburn I watched this last week, as part of my Gordie Howe sadness binge. I'm very, very, very sorry to have reason to watch it again so soon.

[@graperonto]

Monsieur Beliveau is gone... and we're likely to lose Mr. Howe as well. It's going to be a sad week in hockey.

[@HamiltonRb]

graperonto Agreed, Sadly coming after losing Pat Quinn this past week as well.

[@MyAlexVideos]

i meet him and i got to talk to him a bit and he is such a nice guy and for being 85 he is really strong and he is really really hilarious!

[@cslan4]

Two of the best hockey players ever!

[@gerald558]

Mister Hockey Gentelmen Gordie Howe and Jean Béliveau.......

[@robertoautore9252]

These are the real hockey heros who played for the sport not for the money like the over paid players of today, will never see hockey players like them again, Jean Beliveau, and Gordie Howe, the greatest of all time, true Legends 🥅🏒🏆❤👍

[@dextrosebizarre]

I agree with you. But Beliveau was such an intelligent young man, he knew at the time that the owners were making a lot of money on their back. And he waited almost a year with his junior team in Québec City before signing with Montreal because he wanted he contract he deserved.

[@vlqlvlql7278]

[@sfm5s]

Sadly both men are gone. They were tough and great athletes who played each other at 100% every night. Retired from hockey they became ambassadors with grace from the sport. RIP gentlemen.

[@tomace194]

@@dr.aisaitl7439 your wrong. Look up what gordie howe asked for when he started. Players now are pussies compared to the men who played in this generation. Hockey sucks now. Over refed. The instigator rule ruined hockey.

Jean probably the best skater the game ever saw !

[@daveyboy_]

Dude ,they brought Gordie Howe to introduce Le Gros Jean . That's class

I heard yesterday that Gordie got a stem cell procedure done in Mexico and is back home doing amazingly fantastic kicking a soccer ball and playing hockey with his grandkids and doing household chores. Wow !

Classiest player ever!

[@ClassicRocker61]

Ah, the stories THEY could tell.....

[@dextrosebizarre]

Beliveau a 52 ans ici!! Il semble manquer d'aisance malgré un âge pas si avancé... Dur d'imaginer que Howe jouait dans la LNH au même âge. Il fait vraiment plus que son âge même s'il est élégant.

Did you have to pull away from these two great athletes just as they met, to focus on some of the crowd???

[@mralsfan6996]

What has happened to the Habs? To think that they once had such a wonderful player as Jean Beliveau that led the greatest franchise in hockey to cup after cup and now that team is a third rate mess today. I sure wish that the Canadiens had such a player today. As a kid watching the Habs back then, and friends who liked other teams, Jean Beliveau was an idol. No one anywhere had anything bad to say about him. .

[@humankirk9196]

Jean Beliveau was rare for his generation... and nowadays they don't many any like him at all anymore. #GreatestGeneration

[@krusty627628]

@khav11 Viggo apparently is a huge Habs fan!

[@4orrcountry]

For future reference, just in case anyone from the CBC happens to watch this video: Terrible TV direction, as the moment Jean comes out and shakes hands with Gordie, they cut to showing fans in the stands...WHY? How often do we get to see legends like Howe and Beliveau TOGETHER?

[@williammontroy9024]

Gordie is my hero .. but good lord did any sport ever have a classier ambassador than Mr Beliveau ?

[@smegweevil]

I am looking at Gordie who must be in his 80's at this point, and thinking, "Boy, I wouldn't like to be facing him on the ice at any time."

"Up and down all night" What's he talking about?

@uberhaxor69 Detroit and Montreal may be friendly rivals today, but they definitely were NOT back in the day. Don't believe me? Ask Gordie. (Note: If Red Wings were in the same division as Canadiens and played each other as often as Boston and Montreal do, I dare say you'd be referencing "those shitheads in Detroit", oui? Absolument.
