The Rocket Flower Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Well I just registered here and I wanna say hi to everyone. So tell me who you think was the best Montreal Canadien player ever in their position and please explain why. The choices are in the poll.

TheAussiePosse Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Welcome to the board, Rocket. IMO the best habs ever was Georges Vezina. He played so well, and would probably have beaten Dryden or Worsley or Roy. He did all this with a rule that didn't allow goalies to drop to their knees to block shots (ala Butterfly). No helmet, and they were by no means wooses back in the day. Dying of tuberculosis doesn't instil the most pride in people, but he is still the best Canadien ever. 2nd goes to Terry Ryan. :eyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toren Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Yeah, but you also weren't allowed to pass the puck forwards in the offensive zone back then. And players couldn't shoot high at all. The shots were really lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
