Go Habs Go!

[EagerBeaver]

With all the chatter now about Caulfield scoring 50 goals, you may wonder who is the last Montreal Canadiens player to score 50. The answer is Stéphane Richer who did it twice for the Habs in the 1987-88 and 1989-90 seasons:

In addition, Caulfield is one goal behind Nathan McKinnon for the NHL lead in goals. The last Canadiens player to lead the NHL in goals was Guy Lafleur with 60 in 1977-78:

Isn't he also built like this guy, Henri Richard aka "Pocket Rocket"? I know Henri wasn't the same goal scorer as his brother Maurice (or Caulfield) but he is another guy who was similarly sized.

Don’t forget Marcel Dionne. 5 season with more than 50 goals

Knowing that he could break Lafleur record is totally unreal.
He’s on a mission and damned pretty good at it.
Smells like a new d… era. We’ll see.

He actually had 6 50 goal plus seasons, 5 of which were consecutive, but definitely a good size comparison for Caulfield:

you may wonder who is the last Montreal

You really are not from Montreal! Thats all we hear about for the last month or so, so much that the headlines about Caufield have been "front page ", even ahead of the war!

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this -- so sorry in advance.

But is the CIBC reaturant thing a ma bob worth it ? Has anyone tried it in the Bell Centre? DO you get "free" food with it ?

We now have 8 straight victories! It feels great. Last night vs NJ was a bit wonky, but we still did it.

With 6 remaining games to play, how many more can we get in that sequence? I expect a few losses but unless it turns into a complete disaster, our recent record to enter the playoffs will be quite good. It's excellent for the confidence.

We are really close with Tampa and Buffalo, almost tie except RW. We can get more points than them. I would love to finish first in the Atlantic division and play Boston or Ottawa in the first round.

Ottawa is tied in points with Detroit, Philadelphia and the Covered Blow Jobs, and it's not any lock that they will even make that last wild card. And the Capitals are one point behind those teams! If Montreal does finish first in the Atlantic, which is doable if they can outpoint TB by 3 in 6 games, it could be any of 6 teams that they play. It's a total 6 team dogfight for 2 wild card spots!!!!!

True true. I'm glad that we're out of that dog fight and looking at the top now, thanks to that 8 wins sequence.
