If it's Dionne....then the son spoken to was likely Marcel...and I bet that comment made him feel good, after all his accomplishments....  |

I looked at the roster for the 93 Stanley Cup, and the name that jumped out at me was Dionne. Wiki informed me that Marcel and Gilbert are 19 years apart and Marcel never won a cup... so, that's where my guess was coming from  |

EXACTLY!!! Former Los Angeles Kings center Marcel Dionne retired as the third all time leading scorer in NHL history behind Phil Esposito and Gordie Howe. He was unfortunate in that he always played for playoff also rans in Detroit and L.A. and has often been termed the greatest player to have never won a Cup. Often asked what he felt was his greatest hockey achievement in light of the fact that the Stanley Cup passed him by, Dionne has always sidestepped the question. In his autobiography published a few years ago, Dionne revealed that his best moment in hockey actually didn't involve him, but his younger brother Gilbert, who played three seasons for the Canadiens. Dionne attended game 5 of the 1993 Cup final when the Canadiens defeated his former Kings with his and Gilbert's father. Long after the game, and after the celebartions and rioting outside the Forum had quieted, the father and the eldest son began a walk from the building. Once on the street, the father, obviously moved to know the family name would now grace Lord Stanley's mug, wrapped an arm around the Hall Of Famer's shoulder tightly and said, "We finally got one!" |

In 1942-43, the Bentley brothers made history when three brothers played on the same line (and scored a goal where all three collected points, Reg Bentley's only NHL goal in fact).
The Habs almost had three brothers on one line. The line played in exhibition games, but one brother got cut from the team. Who was the brother that was cut?

This is a stab in the dark, but how about George "Buck" Boucher? I know that his brothers, Billy and Robert, played together for part of the 1923–24 season. [Did you want me to take over again after this question, or did you want to continue? I was thinking of "going on hiatus" from Dec. 24 to mid-evening Dec. 26... let me know ] |

Maurice and Henri Richard's brother......I can't remember his name though. EDIT: Had to look it up: Claude Richard. He was dubbed "The Vest Pocket Rocket". Found a picture of the three of them together in training camp, 1959.  |

Found a picture of the three of them together in training camp, 1959. You got it ... Did you know that a third Richard brother, Claude was given a short tryout by the Habs in 1959-60? It was the Rocket's final season, and Claude was asked to camp and participated in a few exhibitions games with the Canadiens that pre - season. For two games, the 3 Richards formed a line. That would be like having a fantasy camp within your own family! Claude is the brother in white in the picture below.Claude is in the middle ...  |

Marc-André only has 4 multi-point games. In 3 of those games, he scored the GWG. I still love him Two of those games are 3 point nights, all assists. This year, he's in my very good books [last year, I was going to lend him a skirt...] *** Trivia question:Do not look it up, but on HabsTV, which two players, asides from the obvious 2 [Georges Laraque and Maxim Lapierre] said their holiday greetings in French? [I'm disappointed, Marc-André was not a part of this  ] One is current roster, the other is a Bulldog who has spent some time with the big club. *** After you've posted your guess, go watch the clip about Hal Gill and his favourite Randy [The Big Unit Johnson]. Hal is hilarious ;D [It's the 4th one down] |

[I'm disappointed, Marc-André was not a part of this ] One is current roster, the other is a Bulldog who has spent some time with the big club. Hint for regular roster: he's in my top 5. Two of them are French, so it's not them. You have 3 choices left. Think: why would I point it out? Hint for Bulldog: it's very easy to mispronounce his last name... and he's from a country where French is one of the official languages.

Who scored the three goals for the Red Army team on the NYE game in 1975? No one player scored all three goals for the Russians that night. Three players; Boris Mikhailov, Boris Alexandrov, Valarei Kharlamov accounted for the goals. The player of the game was, deservedly, Vladislav Tretriak. However, I remember Pete Maholvich deking Tretriak out ("done like dinner" as the term Howie Meeker used) only to hit the post. That would have secured the win for the Habs. But, I also remember Pete coming on after the game and apologizing to the nation for not winning that game for Canada. Great, great moments for sure. Cheers. |

I was using who in the plural sense. I suppose I could have said who were the 3 goal scorers, but we're severely picking at grammar.  lol Dis, for getting the right answer you get to pick the next (grammatically correct) trivia question. |

In the same vein .... the NHL has played 114 games against USSR/Soviet based club teams since 1975. The Russian teams hold a 62-42-10 edge over the NHL teams.
What was the Montreal Canadiens record against the Russian teams over this span?

Shots were 38-13....Dryden had "one of those nights" on which your team dominates, and you just can't come up with the "big" save.....we had a 2-0 first period lead and a 3-1 second period lead. After the Red Army tied it, I remember saying, "Don't get any more shots on Dryden." The Soviets hit the crossbar late in the game.....that close to grand larceny. But without Tretiak's heroics, that game would've been 7-2. I read somewhere that Dryden stayed in a hotel for a day before the game....to get himself mentally prepared. Perhaps he put way too much pressure on himself....even though he got the job done in 72....barely.

What was the Montreal Canadiens record against the Russian teams over this span? 5-5-0. And I hardly remember any of those games. There was a New Year's Eve game against the Red Army 10 years after the 3-3 tie, and we got pounded 6-1. Don't remember it. The year we won the Cup. New Year's Eve, 1979, we beat the Red Army 4-2. Don't remember that one either..... New Year's Eve, 1982....USSR blanked us 5-0. Not a twinge of memory of that..... And it wasn't the drinking..... |

Good question skilly. I can't think of any exhibition games like this since Rendez-vous 87, and those were against NHL all star teams.
