Why he might be annoying:

    He was a two-pack-a-day smoker.
    Like so many in his heyday, he never wore a helmet during an NHL game.
    As a kid, he often slept in his hockey outfit on practice days.
    When the Canadiens won the Stanley Cup in 1978, he swiped it for the weekend so he could display it on his front lawn (naughty, naughty!).
    He chose the #10 sweater because he feared the #4 worn by his idol Jean Beliveau would come with extreme expectations.
    After a heavy party in March 1981, he fell asleep at the wheel of a rented luxury car and crashed into a signpost.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His nickname, ‘the Flower,' is a literal translation of his name.
    He was nicknamed ‘the Blond Demon.'
    As a victim of the condition, he works to educate men about erectile difficulties.
    An arena and street in Thurso bear his name.
    The trophy awarded to the MVP in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (LHJMQ) playoffs is named in his honor.
