Young Mario Lemieux Discovered in Guy Lafleur Photo

Super Mario-to-be was one of thousands of Lafleur-adoring fans at the Forum that night, but in this photo he’s just another star-struck young man in the crowd who was witness to history.

The Montreal Gazette published a tightly cropped, vertical-format version of this image the following morning. But look at this picture three and a half decades later, a much more detailed, wider-scope image discovered recently by its photographer, and so much about it is stunning.
