Wow
This is going to change history
Drama queen. Him and Lou are gonna be fun to watch
GO HABS GO
The Red Wings Killed Canadiens 11-Zip Like The Bruins Last night!
I remember this very well
Detroit may have won this game but unwittingly it may have ultimately cost them a few Stanley cups
Roy was a such good goalie im sad he left the canadians he should've stayed
Poor patrick roy.
This win probably cost the Red Wings a Stanley Cup or two in the long run.
Please no 😭
Imagine that same scenario happened during the Bruins game last night and Monty walked out in front of Marty lmao. Also Marc Bergevin playing against the team later to be GM
So Bad To Play
This guy gets a new head coaching job, and instead of showing highlights of him winning the Cup or the Conn Smythe, the NHL uploads him getting shelled by the Red Wings in one of the most embarrassing games of his career. What a beautiful troll job.
Mario Tremblay's ego caused all of this.
How often in sports can we look back and pinpoint the moment an organization went into the toilet and stayed there for nearly 30 years?? I NEVER would have believed that the Montreal Canadiens could be this bad for this long with only one trip to the finals, that was fluky to say the least in 30 years. And it can all be traced back to this event, the firing of Serge Savard and the sale of the team.
This retro recaps is best!!!!
