Happy 22nd birthday to Canadiens farmhand Sergei Kostitsyn.
And 61st to Bobby Orr.
And 75th to 1950s Montreal junior Canadien Bob McCord, who went on to play 316 games on defence in the NHL with Boston, Detroit, Minnesota and St. Louis from 1963-73, with plenty of minor-league time along the way.
If you don't remember McCord, you don't recall his being claimed by the Habs from Minnesota in the Intra-league draft on June 9, 1970, or being traded back to Minnesota for cash two months later.
