I’m old! 17 of them😢😢😢
For better and for worst I respect all of them. Except Tremblay
Toe and Scotty need *much* bigger photos. Absolute heroes.
That ship has long since sailed, but I wish Alain Vigneault could have gotten another crack at the job when we were actually pretty good.
We went from dick Irvin to toe Blake to ruel? Did he win any cups in his time with the habs? Either stint?
Is randy cunneyworth there ?
