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.

Canadiens' Jacob de la Rose

Jacob de la Rosa Canadiens won the gold medal at the IIHF World Ice Hockey Championships with the Swedish team over the weekend. Sweden beat Switzerland 3: 2 in a shootout on the last last Sunday, which also became the 23rd birthday of De la Rosa. The TSN hockey club analyst Ray Ferraro covered the World Cup and watched de la Rose when he scored one goal, added an assistant and was a plus-2 in 10 tournament games.

How the Mike Hoffman trade impacts Max Pacioretty

In the NHL, transactions start taking place, and the last deal with Mike Hoffman may bring more connections to Montreal Canadiens for Max Pacioretty. NHL was kindled on Tuesday morning, and Montreal Canadiens were not its source. The morning began with senators from Ottawa who traded with Mike Hoffman from San Jose Sharks. For some, it was surprising, considering that there are ice problems now, but Pierre Dorion managed to find an eager one.

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.
