Why he might be annoying:

    His nickname was 'The Roadrunner.'
    Since his legs were solid muscle at the age of 18, he had to have all his pants specially tailored to fit his needs.

    Despite being a reliable player in power play situations, he had to wait five years to play on the Habs top line.
    Despite being considered a workhorse, he missed the Canadiens entire 1977 Stanley Cup run as a result of a back injury.
    Despite being considered a Canadiens legend, he had his jersey #12 retired 26 years after playing his last game with the team.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He put on a dominant performance in the playoffs en route to the Stanley Cup, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy in the process (1973).
    He captained the Canadiens to four consecutive Stanley Cup championships (1976 to 1979).
    He was a member of ten Stanley Cup championship teams during his career.
