Will you be disappointed??
"We will win the Cup only with Carey Price in the nets"
GRR....This thread Is about one of the greatest D' s of all time and all of you are doing B.S. trivia?. Larry should come back to the Habs as coach, Carbo can try and teach the Habs penalty killing, his only specialty. I do love Carbo. That's not a knock, I would just rather see Larry as coach.....silly me I forgot, he doesn't speak french, darn. Stupid politics.
GRRR....Habs Rule.....sometimes suck. GRRRRR...here's why...
With all due respect to #19 there is no way that a man who couldn't handle the pressure in Jersey could come home to Montreal and survive even one full season behind the bench. And no one knows that better than Mr. Robinson himself. Do you really think that the reason he's not back in Montreal is because of politics? I don't know if that would keep Gainey from hiring him if he was healthy enough mentally to give it a go but that is pure speculation because Larry wouldn't even consider the job at this point in his life.
GO HABS.
Earlier today there was a comment alluding to Robinson coming to Montreal as defensive coach. Sweet idea, altho it is a stretch to conceive that, with coaching accomplishments that include having his name engraved on the Cup, the idea of playing the role of assistant to Carbonneau who, while equally accomplished as a player, is still looking inside from behind bench ... unless, of course, the Centennial season concept is enough to work some kind of magic.
Which brings us back to the old (and getting older) Sundin-in-Montreal saga. I must admit that, when talk of this was first being floated, it held zero appeal for me because of my aversion to the extent of blue & white that is stamped on his @$$. This said, he does possess a couple of redeeming factors from where I sit :
1- his dream team as a kid, reportedly, was the Habs, and
2- he undoubtedly has the ability to make the team that much stronger, in even-strength play, on the power play, in shootouts, yadda yadda ...
Another astute observation today, in my view, is that BG has adopted the correct stance in giving this guy space to arrive at his decision. Between the CH, Laffs and Canuckle heads, the choice is a no-brainer in my humble opinion but, then again, I do not pretend to be objective in such matters.
Hasta luego !
Always Habs -
Dave Mex
Canuckle heads.... Brilliant
At the risk of offending JB again, here's another one.
An NHL team used to sit out the full two minute minor penalty regardless of how many goals were scored against it.
This was changed in the mid 1950's because the Habs used to score multiple goals during the two minutes. With the new rule a goal now cancelled the penalty.
Who scored the first goal after this rule was changed?
The answer is Henri Richard in an all-star game in 1956. The all-star was played before the regular season back then between the Stanley Cup winner and the all-star team.
I would like to know who scored the first PP goal in a regular season game, after the rule change. I don't know.
AHHH back to the trickery.... See I like that...
Return question. How many power play goals were scored that season. Was it more or less than the previous season. AND FOR BONUS POINTS what was the Power Play difference for the Habs that year?
JB
There were more PP goals, but I don't get the bonus points. I'd guess it was more though.
Doesn't look like anyone else wants to guess. I'm assuming I'm wrong...
My best guess, JEAN BELIVEAU, fitting if im right...
JB
How many guesses do you want?
The Rocket???? whats the answer, no one else is in...
I guess he wanted 3.
Laraque will make them Pay the Price!
Gordie Howe, or Ted Lindsay. After this i give up
OK JIM, now you got it, GREAT QUESTION... This is interesting...
What is the number of Most goals in a game by the Habs???
16
Gee Jim I don't remember that #. Who against and when do you know?
16 is correct march 3rd 1920, same season Newsy Lalonde scored 6 goals in a game. Don't know vs who...
Ian
I hope you don't remember it. It happened way before our time. I can't remember against what team but it happened in the 20's or 30's.
Montreal beat the Quebec Bulldogs on March 3, 1920, in Quebec, by a score of 16-3.
The 16 goals are also the NHL record.
