MONTREAL -- There is no way a team could compete for 100 seasons without its players. In honor of them, here is a summary in numbers of the contributions made by the great men who have donned the Canadiens’ colors over the years. 754 – Number of players who have suited up for the Canadiens since the team was founded in 1909. 209- Number of players who have hoisted the Stanley Cup in a Canadiens jersey. 44 – Canadiens legends who have been enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame, beginning with Georges Vezina and Howie Morenz in 1945, and most recently, Dick Duff and Patrick Roy in 2006. 28 – Seasons that Canadiens’ goaltenders have captured the Vézina Trophy, led by George Hainsworth, who won the award in each of the trophy’s first three years of existence, from 1926-27 to 1928-29. 27 – Players who have worn the “C” for the Canadiens, from Jack Laviolette in 1909-10 to Saku Koivu, who has been the Habs’ captain since September of 1999. 16- Number of times a Canadiens player has captured the Hart Trophy, awarded to the league MVP. 14 – Number of players who have had their jerseys retired by the Canadiens. The number will increase to 15 on November 22, 2008, when the jersey of legendary netminder, Patrick Roy, will be raised to the rafters of the Bell Centre. 6 – Legends who have scored 50 goals in a season for the Canadiens. The first to accomplish the feat was Maurice Richard, who needed only 50 games to reach the mark in 1944-45. link |

The six Habs players who scored 50 or more goals in a season are:
Maurice Richard
Bernie Geoffrion
Guy Lafleur
Steve Shutt
Pierre Larouche
Stephane Richer
In 1979-80 Lafleur and Larouche both scored 50 goals and Steve Shutt scored 47. We came close to having three 50-goal scorers which has never happened for a team in NHL history. That year the Habs were nevertheless eliminated in the first round.

sorry, claude, but the Oilers had 3 in 83/84. Gretzky - 87 Kurri - 52 Anderson - 54 Again in 85/86 Kurri - 68 Anderson - 54 Gretzky - 52 I stand corrected. I checked my info in the NHL Official Guide & Record Book in the section "Year -by-year final standings and leading scorers" where only the top 10 scorers of each year are listed. Both in 1983-84 and 1985-86 Glen Anderson did score 54 goals but wasn't among the top ten total-point getters. So, I missed him. Sorry about that. |

That year the Habs were nevertheless eliminated in the first round. 2nd round to the Minnesota North Stars. They lost Game 7 at home in a series that haunts me to this day. Lafleur was injured in the 1st round and missed the entire series. Denis Herron with a horrible giveaway down the stretch in Game 7. That series was the coming out party for a young Bobby Smith, but I digress.... |

Maybe I'm thinking of a different year, but wasn't that Steve Payne who broke our backs with that goal, CO? Whoever it was that scored, I remember the young Stars acting like veterans after it went in. They were pretty controlled. Cheers. |
