The statue depicts Richard, who was renowned for his scoring as well as his aggressive style, sitting in a penalty box.
Here was a vinyl banner at an absurd 2001 specimen of postmodern architecture in Montréal, with spikes of antipigeon.
This being Montréal and me being an anglophone a-hole/d-bag tourist, I was surprised that the banner had not been mandated to read "MDR Centre des fêtes."
And yes I was laughing loudly but inside I was panicking because I was physically unable to stop laughing. Has that ever happened to you?

The picture shows the building entrance on Atwater Street.
The building was the home arena of the NHL Montreal Canadiens from 1926 to 1996, when the team moved to the Bell Centre. This was also the venue for several sport events during the 1976 Olympics.
Currently, the Forum is a multiplex theater, along with restaurants and shops.
What was before the Montreal Forum, it was then completely gutted and converted into a downtown entertainment centre called the Pepsi Forum, consisting of an AMC multiplex theatre, shops and restaurants. The building was declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 1997. Pepsi Forum, Montreal, Quebec.
Centre ice has been recreated in the centre of the complex complete with a small section of the grandstand, along with a statue of a fan leaning forward in delight, while original seats are used as benches throughout the complex. Pepsi Forum, Montreal, Quebec.
The Atwater street entrance has a large bronze Montreal Canadiens logo surrounded by 24 bronze Stanley Cup banners cemented into the sidewalk. Pepsi Forum, Montreal, Quebec.
