Beliveau and longtime linesman
John D'Amico. The fans responded

place.

Yet, the crescendo was to come.
His name was, fittingly. the bast to
resonate through the arena: his ban-

Number 4 stepped onto the aged

“rink to a sustitined, explosive, deaf-

the emotion ta speak. And while his

the uninistakubly farniliar voice of
