  1. Best habs:

    1-Rocket Richard: Best goal scorer of his time and first to score 50 in 50 and 500 in a career.

    2-Guy Lafleur: 2 Hart trophies, 3 art ross trophies, 5 stanley cups, a conn smythe trophy, 6 straight seasons with 50 or more goals and 119 or more points. Guy Lafleur did it all.

    3- Jean Beliveau: Class act, incredible stick handler and the best player ever for his size.

    4- Henri Richard: Always overshadowed by his brother and Beliveau but he holds the record for most stanley cups.

    5- Jacques Plante: One of the best goalies of all time, 7 Vezina trophies, 6 stanley cups, creator of the mask.

    6- Patrick Roy: 2nd greatest goalie ever after Hasek IMO, but the reason I put him after Plante is because he only played 9 years here and the way he left.

    7- Howie Morenz: First montreal canadiens star, although we dont know much about him.

    8- Doug Harvey: 8 Norris trophies sais it all.

    9- Larry Robinson: The big bird was one of the best two way defensemen of all time.

    10- Yvan Cournoyer: Roadrunner was really underrated and probably the faster skater of all time

    Honourable mentions to Bob Gainey, Bernie Geoffrion, Toe Blake and Jacques Lemaire.

    Enjoy!

  3. Ok I've seen this question on another nhl forum (hfboards.com) Sorry not trying to advertise or anything. Anyways do you think that Gretzky would be as great today in all aspects of his game?

    1- Would he be as productive in todays NHL?

    2- Would he be able to withstand the hell lot more tough defenseman throughout the nhl and the defensive minded teams?

  4. As we all know the habs surprised everybody last year by not only making the playoffs with 94 points and 41 wins but by also eliminating the "heavily favored" 2nd place Boston Bruins after being down 3 games to 1. Even though the second round against the stanley cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning didn't turn out the way we wanted to, the season for the habs was as Bob Gainey said a success.

    Now here are the top 10 habs from last year.

    1-Saku Koivu: Captain of the team and a great leader. Struggled at the beggining of the season after his comeback but shortly thereafter showed his talent by accumulating 55 points in only 68 games.

    2-Richard Zednik: Was a dominant scorer throughout the season as he tallied a team high 26 goals and 50 points in 81 games. However he had a couple of scoring slumps troughout the year which was a downfall from his 31 goals the year before.

    3- Alexei Kovalev: Acquired during the trade deadline from the New York Rangers, habs fans were really excited only to be dissapointment when Kovalev scored only 1 goal in the remaining 12 games of the season. However when Claude Julien placed him on the top line with Zednik and Koivu he showed his overwhealming talent by amassing 6 goals and 10 points in 11 playoff games.

    4- Mike Ribeiro: Finally we saw the breakout year for Mike Ribeiro and what a productive season he had leading all of his team in points with 65, assists with 45 and was third in goals with 20. Enjoyed much of his success with fellow wingers Pierre Dagenais and rookie sensation Michael Ryder.

    5- Micheal Ryder: A real surprise, the Newfoundland native played a key role in the success of the habs this year. Ranked first in his team in shots, second in his team in points with 63, second in goals with 25 and third in assists with 38.

    6- Steve Begin: Acquired by the habs from waivers, Begin's grit, determination, toughness and great checking showed what a great contributer he really is.

    In the playoffs, Begin lost a couple teeth when he intended to check Bergeron who bent over thus leaving Begin crashing into the boards. This lead to Begin showing his toughness once again by making a return later that night!

    7- Sheldon Souray: Another shocker, Sheldon Souray once and for all proved that he was worthy of wearing a habs uniform as he lead all defenseman in not only his team but the whole league with 15 goals! However wrist and knee injured put sidelined Souray for much of the remainder of the season. Unfortunately Souray wasn't the same dominant player beyond his return.

    8- Mike Komisarek:

    A hard nosed young defenseman, Komisarek earned himself a spot on the habs. At first, Komisarek went through a tough time making some rookie mistakes but hey noones perfect! However the playoffs is when he became famous amongst thousands of habs fans after his awesom hit on Joe Thornton in the first round of the playoffs, which many consider the turn around of the series.

    9- Jose Theodore: The Montreal Canadien who so many people consider the back bone of the habs this year. Winner of the molson player of the year for the 4th year in a row, Theodore was one of the best goalies in the league. Habs fans were thrilled by his constant unbelivable saves and great goaltending performances. However Theodore struggled quite a bit in the playoffs, noticably in the first round as he let in some really weak goals such as Bergeron in the overtime in game 2 among others.

    Now its up to you to decide who was the best habs player this year and list the reason behind your pick.

  5. I havent had the time to get on most of last week but here I am now! I got Saku Koivu's autograph last week. Well my dad got it for me. Heres how it all went down. See my dad is some kind of a repairer of the inside of cars and the roof (its called remboureur in french). Anyways so Koivu brought his classic Mustang Shelby 1967 for my dad to fix. So when my dad finished repairing his car Koivu came back and my dad and his other friend got an autograph!!!!! I was so angry when I heard that when Koivu had first brought the car to my dad's work my father hadnt even thought of getting an autograph but luckily we got it in the end!!!! I was so happy last week and still am!!!!! LOL I wanted to not go to school and go with my dad at work to see Koivu in person but I had so many exams last week I'd fail. Oh and I dont have a camera or something on my computer to show you guys the autograph but believe me I really did get HABS SUPERSTAR SAKU KOIVU'S AUTOGRAPH!!!!PEACE...

  6. Legendary Coach Billy Reay Passes Away At 86

    September 24, 2004

    CHICAGO – The winningest coach in the history of the Chicago Blackhawks, William T. "Billy" Reay, passed away on Thursday afternoon, September 23rd, in Madison, Wisconsin at the age of 86.

    Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on August 21, 1918, Billy enjoyed a successful career in the National Hockey League as both a player and coach. He broke into the NHL with the Detroit Red Wings in 1943 but enjoyed most of his success as a member of the Montreal Canadiens. After two seasons in Detroit, Billy was traded to Montreal where he played for eight years. He centered a line with the great Maurice "Rocket" Richard on his wing and was a member of two Stanley Cup Championships in Montreal (1946 and 1953). He retired as a player following the 1952-53 season.

    Billy coached 16 seasons in the National Hockey League. He coached the Toronto Maple Leafs for two seasons, 1957-58 and 1958-59, before taking a four year hiatus from coaching. He returned behind the bench for the Chicago Blackhawks in 1963 where he coached for 14 seasons. As the Head Coach of the Blackhawks, he posted 516 wins which still ranks first among all-time Blackhawks coaches. He coached the Blackhawks to their first ever Prince of Wales Trophy in 1966-67.

    Overall, under Billy's direction, the Blackhawks had six first place finishes and three appearances in the Stanley Cup Finals. His coaching record with the Blackhawks was 516 wins, 335 losses, and 161 ties in 1,012 games. His overall career coaching record was 542 wins, 385 losses, and 175 ties in 16 years. In honor of his 542 coaching victories, the National Hockey league presented Billy with a Milestone Award.

    When asked about his most memorable moment as a Blackhawk, Billy remarked, "Just having the opportunity to coach the Blackhawks for 14 years was my biggest thrill."

    Visitation will be on Sunday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Gunderson Funeral Home, 7435 University Avenue, in Middleton, Wisconsin 53562. (608) 831-6761. The funeral will be on Monday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. at Blackhawk Church, 110 N. Whitney Way in Madison, Wisconsin 53705. (608) 238-0183. There will be a one-hour visitation at the church prior to the funeral service

  7. Now since there's 5 players remaining in each of the two brackets I decided to assemble both of them but first I put both brackets in order of the number of the players. EX: No 1 is Wayne Gretzky in the first bracket and No 1 in the second bracket is Orr. So here's the two brackets:

    1-Wayne Gretzky

    16-Mark Messier

  14. Hockey has produced hundreds of legendary players and its up to you to decide who was the best of them all! Here are the 4 categories each containing 20 players based on the number of points they have scored in their best season. However there are some players whom arent in the lists because of the simple reason that some players like Rocket Richard and Doug Harvey even though they didnt have as much points are far more legendary players.

    Center:

    1-Wayne Gretzky vs. 20-Bobby Clarke

    2-Mario Lemieux vs. 19-Sergei Fedorov

    3-Steve Yzerman vs.18-Joe Sakic

    4-Phil Esposito vs. 17-Doug Gilmour

    5-Bernie Nicholls vs.16-Mark Messier

    6-Pat Lafontaine vs. 15-Dale Hawerchuck

    7-Adam Oates vs. 14-Denis Savard

    8-Peter Stazny vs. 13-Kent Nillson

    9-Marcel Dionne vs.12-Pierre Turgeon

    10-Denis Maruk vs. 11-Brian Trottier

    Right Wing:

    1-Jaromir Jagr vs. 20- Lanny Macdonald

    2-Mike Bossy vs. 19-Mike Gartner

    3-Guy Lafleur vs. 18-Glenn Anderson

    4- Jari Kurri vs. 17-Theoron Fleury

    5-Temmu Selanne vs. 16- Dave Hodge

    6-Brett Hull vs. 15-Dino Ciccareli

    7-Alexander Mogilny vs.14- Maurice Richard

    8- Marc Recchi vs. 13-Rick Tocchet

    9- Gordie Howe vs. 12-Pavel Bure

    10-Dave Taylor vs. 11-Joe Mullen

    Left Wing:

    1-Luc Robitaille vs. 20-Kurk Muller

    2-Kevin Stevens vs. 19-Frank Mahovlich

    3- Michel Goulet vs. 18-Dickie Moore

    4- John Buzyk vs. 17- John Leclair

    5-Bill Barber vs.16- Brian Propp

    6-Mats Naslund vs. 15- Keith Katchuck

    7- Paul Kariya vs. 14-Dave Andrewchuck

    8-Bobby Hull vs. 13- Brian Bellows

    9- Steve Shutt vs. 12-John Tonelli

    10-Markus Naslund vs. 11-Brendan Shanahan

    Defense:

    1-Bobby Orr vs. 20-Paul Reinhart

    2-Paul Coffee vs. 19-Chris Chelios

    3-Al MaCInis vs.18-Guy Lapointe

    4-Brian Leetch vs. 17-Scott Stevens

    5-Denis Potvin vs.16-Steve Duchesne

    6-Phil Housley vs.15-Mark Howe

    7-Ray Bourque vs.14-Brad Parke

    8-Gary Sutter vs.13- Doug Harvey

    9-Sergie Zubov vs.12- Larry Murphy

    10-Doug Wilson vs.11-Larry Robinson

    So simply write the number and the name of the player whom you think is the better of the two for each round.

    Ex: (From the list of centers)

    1- Gretzky

    19- Fedorov

    3- Steve Yzerman

    I hope everyone understands how this goes and there will be about 4 or 5 rounds and the player with the highest votes out of the 2 advances. Ex. 10- Doug Wilson gets 5 votes and 11- Larry Robinson gets 6 then Robinson advances. So when all is said and done we will determine who is the Ultime Hockey Player!! Start voting!!

  15. Did anyone else hear what Kovalev said when he was interviewed after having lost to the USA on tuesday? The interviewer (I forgot what his name was) asked Kovalev "Now that the world cup is over for you what's the deal between you and the habs?"(Something like that). Kovalev then said that he hasnt heard from Bob Gainey since a couple months but he still considers playing for the Montreal Canadiens. However one thing he knows is that when the season starts "I will have a job".

    What do you guys think?

  16. quote:

    In a poll conducted by Decima Research Inc. last month, 83 percent of those surveyed said they would stand by the NHL even if a lockout wiped out more than half a season as long as it results in a reduction of player salaries and a better deal for smaller clubs.

    As well, 56 percent of fans believe the players association needs to be the one to compromise when it comes to a new deal while only 14 percent believe both sides need to compromise in the dispute.

    The survey of 928 Canadians also found that most fans believe most NHL teams are in financial trouble.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    Why the hell is everyone behind the nhl and saying that they will watch NHL if there were a lockout? If mosto f them had said they wouldnt watch then NHL/NHLPA wouldve been worried and we would've had a season next year!!!
