On November 8th 2014, the Montreal Canadiens honored one of their greatest defenseman, Guy Lapointe, by retiring his #5 to the rafters of the Bell Centre prior to the game. The Montreal Canadiens wore for this game a set of jerseys with a special patch on the breast honoring Lapointe, and these jerseys were worn throughout the game.
Classic Auctions is honored to collaborate with the Montreal Canadiens to offer the team’s jerseys worn for that historic game, and each jersey will come with a Montreal Canadiens / Classic Auctions letter of authenticity.
From that very special evening, we have Tomas Plekanec’s worn Montreal Canadiens alternate captain's jersey. Size 58 tagging appears in the collar, with embroidered NHL and Reebok crests on the front and back necklines respectively. Styled with attractive dual-colour tackle twill numbers along with the mighty CH team crest, the important Guy Lapointe number “5” patch sits over the right breast. With customized cuffs including velcro, the team patch numbered A03700 sits on the inside hem. A decisive 4-1 win for the Habs over the Wild that saw Gallagher, Eller, Sekac and Pacioretty score, with Plekanec assisting on Gallagher’s goal. Plekanec also won 61% of the faceoffs he took in his 17 plus minutes played. Notable game-wear on the garment includes a few dark marks on the left sleeve near the cuff.
