    “Habs Shenanigans” is Sam Pollock in a nutshell. Man won the Cup, then offset the retirement of one of the best Habs of all time by drafting arguably the best Hab of all time first overall. Madlad

    As the story goes, local media were infuriated with this pick– why draft a winger who can’t score?? But the tune changed in an exhibition game when Gainey crumpled Bobby Orr with a clean bodycheck.
