I am going to write a bio on Guy Carbonneau playing career
I need your help!!!
I need some info on his playing style. I know he was a junior offensive player and become a nhl defensive specialist. Could he skate fast did he have a good shot?
If you can do a mini scouting report for me that would be awsome

Frank Selke winner...Heart and Soul type player, team captain, arguably the best shot blocker in NHL history, played close to 20 seasons. But don't mention why he was traded from Montreal
When I write a bio I tend to focus on the glory
I will mention the date of the trade to dallas.
Then I will go on to describe the role he filled with the stars
Not a great skater he was average + skater... but he could hang on to the puck like it was glued to his stick. Great vision and understanding of the game made him one of the most dominant defensive forward of his area.
Like mentioned he was one of the best shot blocker all time (with Craig Ludwig).
Loved him during those years (maybe as much as Nordique'S fans were hating him )
Without a doubt my favorite player post-Robinson. He did it all. Like Ryan Walter said, Carbo always went against the opposition's best players, took key faceoffs, smooth skater, decent shot (not great, but a smart enough player to find a way to score). He was the epitome of sacrifice - best shot blocker I've ever seen - positioning, anticipation, and timing. And what about all the passes he took away with that same positioning? Just unbelievable. He also played 231 playoff games. Just think about that. 231!
My favourite player of all time. What I liked best about him was that he always delivered at crunch time -- with a big hit, big goal, or timely shot block. He was truly a player who elevated his game when it mattered most. That made him a great leader, in my eyes.
He was also one of the league's most persistent and effective shadows: he always played against the league's skilled players in an era when offense meant everything.
I'd say his skating was well above average, although he didn't have straight-line speed.
He had a nice wrister that seemed to catch goalies off guard.
I thought he played his best hockey alongside Mike McPhee. They were an fiesty, dangerous duo who could take care of both ends of the rink.
Thanks for your resposnes. You wouldnt know how little there is on guy I have one magazine that I found with a interview with him I am hoping it will give me more of a glimpse into the payer he was so i can accuratley describe his game
The Montgomery family I'm sure would take issue with that. His father represented Canada in the Olympics [1954 boxing], he was Paul Kariya's center at the U of Maine. He briefly centered Brett Hull in St.Louis, a situation that for the marginally talented was supposedly hell on earth. He continued his playing days in Europe after stints in Philly and I believe Dallas.
The family was well known in the East End Boys Club, quite the hockey factory years ago.

Was he not traded to St-Louis from Montreal? Jim MOntgomery in return if I remember well. As mentioned he was a multiple Selke winner but he could put in a few important points also. Great guy, great player.

Guy was kind of run out of town at the time. Back in the day Ronald Corey use to have a policy if any player tarnished the image of the CH they would get the boot.
Carbonneau was drafted 44th overall in the 1980 Draft by the Montreal Canadiens.
He stepped into a Montreal team on the downswing from a four-Cup dynasty in the late 1970s. He established himself as both a 20-goal scorer and the man who played against the other team's best player every night. During his 13 years with Montreal, he won the Cup twice, in 1986 and 1993.

His strong play as a defensive forward helped the Canadiens to a Stanley Cup championship in 1986, followed by three Frank J. Selke Trophy wins in 1988, 1989, and 1992. In 1989-90 he was named the captain of the Canadiens, and led them to another Stanley Cup win in 1993.

In the '93 Final, the Habs faced Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings, and in game one the "Great One" had a goal and two assists and the Kings won 4-1. Carbo approached coach Jacques Demers and requested he be allowed to shadow number 99 the rest of the way. Montreal won the next four games.
In 1994 he was traded to the St. Louis Blues, playing there for one season before moving to the Dallas Stars. He earned his third Stanley Cup ring in 1999 with the Stars, and retired from playing following the 1999-00 season when he was the oldest player in the game.
A very gifted player. Very very.
He could put 120 points / season every year if he had the heart and the desire of winning. He more has the desire of whinning.
Seriously, he could broke Gretzky's record if he want to, but most of time he sit on his big fat ***. He was a cancer in the locker-room and Zednik's type-of-player with NO defensive skill.
