Canadiens should take a page out Vegas GM's playbook


The last time the Canadiens won the Stanley Cup, Carey Price was two months away from his sixth birthday.

Shi Weber was a mature old age of 7 years, and Brendan Gallagher celebrated his first birthday the month before. Jonathan Drewin, Alex Galchenyuk, Jacob De La Rose, Charles Hudon, Artouri Lehkonen, Victor Mete and Noah Julsen were not born.

The current members of the Canadiens have little or no memory that the Stanley Cup parade was held in Montreal for the last time. The same goes for the young fans of the team, who probably find it hard to believe that the former mayor of Montreal, Jean-Dropleau, was very proud that the Stanley Cup parade "will go the usual way."

The Canadiens won five Stanley Cups in the 1950s, five in the 60s, six in the 70s, one in the 80s, one in the 90s and none of them. June 9 will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Canadiens by defeating Wayne Gretzky in Los Angeles in Los Angeles 4-1 in the game of the 5 finals of the Stanley Cup at the Forum to win the best of seven series of 4-1 and qualify for a record of the 24th franchise championship .

It was a wonderful trip to the playoffs for the Canadiens and their fans, including a record 10 direct overtime.

"It's funny, because whenever I see a glare or a video from it, there's always something I do not remember," Mathieu Schneider, the defender of the 1993 national team, said recently. "I think that many of my memories are from views. I was 22, and it seemed to me that I would win five more (the Stanley Cup) before my career ended. It was a special time. It was not the year when we were chosen to win, especially in the playoffs. We had such a hard time at the end of the season. (Postseason) was for us an incredible couple of months. "

We recently talked with some members of this Stanley Cup team to share their memories of the incredible championship.

Younger fans lack memories of a Cup-winning squad

We are now so far away from the last Stanley Cup parade along the usual route that the entire Montrealer generation grew up without knowing the intense euphoria that accompanies the championship season. It is a pity, because getting titles was once a part of life here, like urban corruption and a cross on the royal mountain. We would be waiting there for the first floats, and then for the trail along with the players to Peel and further. It always struck me that at this time of year, when most people had healthy tan, the triumphant Canadiens were always pale as ghosts and covered with welts and bruises on their faces, necks and shoulders.

Montreal Canadiens: Jacob de La Rose is a win away from gold

As the world hockey championship ends in 2018, Jacob de La Rose has one player from Montreal Canadiens who stands for the gold medal. Yesterday at the World Hockey Championship in 2018 was an expected and unexpected result. Jacob de La Rose and the team of Sweden finished with the US team, beating them 6-0 to go to the game of the gold medal. Not surprisingly, Sweden won, and the gate differential showed how strong the team is. After that, fans of Montreal Canadiens, no doubt, saw at least one of their players in the final. What took a lot by surprise was the result of the Canadian-Swiss game. The Swiss scored several timely goals and had a starry gate. Leonardo Genoni stood on his head, because his team stopped 43 of 45 shots. This disappointed Canada, which entered this game as a favorite, despite Switzerland's success in Round Robin.

The Montreal Canadiens’ Road to Redemption

Whether Saku Koivu, Pierre Turgeon or Vincent Damphousse are his barometer, suffice it to say that the Montreal Canadiens have not had a number one bona fide center for a long time. In fact, it reached the point where acquiring (or not acquiring) a number one center could replace the Subban-Weber trade as the turning point in Marc Bergevin's managerial career. The problem is that if you talk to a dozen different people, you are likely to get a dozen definitions of "center number one." Ryan O'Reilly, Paul Stastny and John Tavares are some of the most common names circulating around these parts as possible acquisition targets for the CH, but these are very different players. Could Canadians, either internally or externally, find a William Karlsson or Dylan Larkin diamond in the rough to fill the hole in half?
