Courtesy of youtube. If you guys know ways of uploading clips you have...send em in. I'll start it off with some black and white footage. I was just 6 years old and not yet "into" hockey when the Habs won the 1965 Stanley Cup in Game 7 vs. Chicago. The Canadiens had defeated the 3-time defending champs Leafs in 6 games. The Hawks took out the Wings in 7. The home team won every game in this 7-gamer. Habs won the Cup with a 4-0 win. The Gumper with the SO. These are goals 1 and 3. Beliveau, 1-014 seconds into the game. How about knowing where someone will be? Rousseau to Beliveau. Cournoyer, 3-0Montreal's 20th PP goal of the playoffs. In only 2 rounds. Ah, the Roadrunner's rookie season. Look at him fly. Interesting note: On that 65 Chicago team were 4 integral future Cup winners with the Bruins. Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge, John McKenzie, Fred Stanfield.....as well as future Habs' Cup-winning coach in 71, Al MacNeil. (Espo, Hodge, and Stanfield were traded to Boston in '67 for Pit Martin, Gilles Marotte, and minor-league goalie Jack Norris...one of the most one-sided trades in NHL history). |

I wa snever a big fan of Guy Lafluer ... but here is a montage of his best moments in hockey. CH ... the goal against the Bruins is about 32 seconds into the video Guy Lafleur Montage |

Oh, if you had seen him fly through the 70s, Skilly....the way he led the Habs to so many victories...so many out-of-your-seat moments....you'd be a fan. Too bad you saw him only near the end of his career as a Hab. We haven't had as electrifying a forward since. We've had some exciting ones....but none like him. Not in my estimation. Thanks for pointing out that goal in your clip. Classic clutch play between Lemaire and Lafleur. A favourite clip of yours (and all Habs' fans) : 10 OT Goals 1993 |

The 3rd of Beliveau's 3 call-up games in 52-53This clip is mis-titled on youtube. Gotta love that campy American newsreel production...and the ignorant pronunciation of "Maurice RICH-ard". Beliveau, wearing #12, scores 2 as Habs win 4-3. The game before, he scored 3 against the Bruins (I read in his book.) The next season, he became a Hab full-time. Beliveau had signed a B-form earlier which stated that, whenever he turned "pro", he would join the Habs. Beliveau was making $20,000 a year playing with the Quebec Aces, and was happy to stay there. Selke forced the move by buying the QSHL and coverting it into a minor-pro league. "Okay Jean, now you're a pro...and you're a Hab." 18 seasons. 10 Stanley Cups. One of the greatest captains ever.

Hockey life in Montreal in 1946-47. Habs were defending champs. Nice footage of that group starting at 4:43. Bill Durnan wearing the C along with Toe Blake. 25-year-old Rocket. Bouchard. Reardon. Dick Irvin.
And how about the rough stuff against the Leafs! Stick work city. Tackles. Brutal. No pansies there. Of course, you played each team 12 times in that era. Lots of hate to go around.

Nice find CH. Esp liked the female player throwing a check. Should be in the modern female game too.

Every goal in the 93 Final.
I had forgotten that we had a 3-0 lead in Game 3. Won 4-3 in OT.
AND a 2-0 lead in Game 4. Won 3-2 in OT.
Totally forgot about the Carbonneau-in-the-crease with time running out in Game 3. Never saw the clip of Gretzky complaining about it....nor did I see Melrose say he would never have called for a stick measurement.

Actually got a good chuckle from this clip.
Cheers.

Thought some of you may enjoy that. I like a touch of those old shows once in a great while. |

1971 quarter-finals, Habs vs. Boston. No way we should've beaten them. No way.
Game 2, April 8. Habs, behind 1-0 in the series, go down 5-1 in the second period. Then the comeback...7-5 win.....awesome! Got the Bruins questioning themselves...and we beat them in 7...and on to another Stanley Cup.
Here are all 12 goals from that 7-5 win. Questionable goaltending...but that was relatively normal for the era. After all, there are no saves in the highlights...and Dryden would win the Conn Smythe.
Watch how suspect Orr could be at times. Of course, he was always on the ice! Richard picks his pocket and makes it 5-2 late in the second. 39-year-old Beliveau comes out in the third period and scores two quick goals to make it 5-4. Love Lemaire's goal to tie it, reading the play quicker than Orr. Fergie with the winner, as Orr forgets to cover him...and Frank Mahovlich blasts in the insurance goal, as Orr had gone deep looking for a pass in front, leaving the point open for the Big M's breakaway.
What made this Cup even more improbable was that Serge Savard was out with a broken leg. He'd been on his way to a remarkable career. After his first two seasons, he'd won 2 Cups and a Conn Smythe. In 1970, he shattered his leg in 5 places vs. the Rangers. On Jan. 30, 1971 he re-broke it against the Leafs. Those injuries put an end to his usual mad dashes up the ice...and he changed his game, becoming one of the best DEFENSEmen of all-time.
Some Savard trivia: He's the only player on Team Canada '72 who didn't play in a loss. 4-0-1.

Should be our greatest comeback and not Rangers game of a few years ago. Since it was in the playoffs and against defending Stanley Cup champions. I think this game made me a Habs fan. |

I agree, gnick. That night, I could only watch the scoreboard updates. Living in southwestern Ontario, I was relegated to the Leafs-Rangers series.  That was the same night Vic Hadfield threw Bernie Parent's mask into the crowd in New York during a bench-clearing brawl. Anyway, I remember seeing 5-1 Boston and being very dejected. Then I saw 5-2, 5-3, 5-4, 5-5, 6-5, 7-5. Saw Game 7 on Sunday, April 18th on NBC, though. Wicked upset. Again, Orr got his pocket picked early in the third by Frank Mahovlich, just before Orr crossed his own blueline. He poked it to Lemaire who was still inside the Bruins' zone, so it was onside. You can see that goal in the clip below at the 3:11 mark. Still one of the most beautiful transition goals I've seen, considering who it was against, and how the Bruins notably sagged after that. Frank takes off for the net and Lemaire whips a perfect pass over to him. Bang...4-1...and game pretty much over. ================================== I had the great opportunity to meet and talk with Beliveau on April 7, 2007 at a signing here in Cambridge. We went over many details of that 7-5 win, and he said, "I'll never forget that game!" One thing I've noticed about most Beliveau highlights on the net. No hair ruffling, no hugs....just business as usual. Stick taps on the leg...that's about it. He was royalty out there. |
