HabsAdmin Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hello fellow habs fans, I was wondering if anyone had any dates on this seasons retirement ceremonies? More specifically....the players to be retired and the corresponding dates. Thanks, Lunarist Nothing has been revealed yet. As has been the case over the last two years, the team will likely hold a press conference to formally announce the names and dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest P.Royfan Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Nothing has been confirmed but everybdy believes one of the next #'s to be retired will be 19 Larry Robinson. If so then here are some possible dates. Nov. 19 vs OTT, Jan 19 vs PITT, or Feb 19 vs NYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macpherson8 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 why isnt roy retired yet?! thats retarded (dont answer that...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nikedine Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 why isnt roy retired yet?! thats retarded (dont answer that...) Well, there are only 31 days in a month. So there's no 33st day to retire him on, is there? At least that's the only logical explanation I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Miltie01 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 why isnt roy retired yet?! thats retarded (dont answer that...) There are a few well deserving players who should have theirs retired first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greek Hab Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I think the list of players who are next to come are: - Larry Robinson, as mentioned by P.Royfan - Bob Gainey. We only have 1 home game this year on the 23rd. Sat, Feb 23, 2008 (vs. Bluejackets) - Patrick Roy. I say Patrick's number 33 will be the last to be retired...2008-2009 season...or maybe 2009-2010. Another player who's number I'd like to see get retired is Steve Shutt's #22. Also Jacques Lemaire's #25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Miltie01 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Imagine the great team we could put together just from the guys who have their numbers retired !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lfrommtl Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 why isnt roy retired yet?! thats retarded (dont answer that...) because he showed absolutely no class in his exit from montreal. yes he was left out to dry. but you dont just whine and complain because of one bad game.

Another player who's number I'd like to see get retired is Steve Shutt's #22. Also Jacques Lemaire's #25. I agree with all of those picks. Shutt was also one of my favourites. He also had the honour of wearing Fergy's number. I wouldnt mind seeing a double retirement for that specific number so that Ferguson is immortalized along with the other Hab greats. Having watched him play back then,,,,there is no doubt in my mind that the Habs winning 5 Cups with him in the lineup was not a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest habFAN Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 it would be pretty cool to retire Gainey on the 23 of December against the Stars but its an away game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey_gal89 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 because he showed absolutely no class in his exit from montreal. yes he was left out to dry. but you dont just whine and complain because of one bad game. You also don't leave your franchise and future hall of fame goaltender in for 9 goals against when he's clearly not having a good night. That one's a double edged sword my friend. He wasn't so much whining and complaining as much as he was frustrated by fans who treated him like a bum after he carried this team on his back for over a decade. Remember that before you go criticizing a former hab great. As Jacques Plante and Maurice Richard could testify (if they were alive) Montreal isn't exactly known for their first class treatment of their players.

He was our only ray of light at times on what would've otherwise been forgetable seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blockoman Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Blame Mario Tremblay. He was the coach when Roy got scored against 9 times in that infamous game. When Roy said "I'll never play again in a Montreal uniform," he later clarified that he wouldn't play for the Habs as long as Tremblay was coach. Essentially, the Habs could have either traded Roy or fired Tremblay. How many playoff appearances, or even possibly Stanley Cups, did the mistake of trading him cost?

hockey_gal89 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 How many playoff appearances, or even possibly Stanley Cups, did the mistake of trading him cost? It cost us at least 2 Stanley Cups that went to the Avs (1996, 2001). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hatethoseleafs Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 It cost us at least 2 Stanley Cups that went to the Avs (1996, 2001). I'm not convinced that we would have won any other Cups with Roy in our nets back then.We had a pretty weak team and even weaker management in those years. I know Patrick was able to carry a decent team pretty well on his back however i wouldnt even go so far as to say we were decent back then. It was a rebuilding stage led by management that didnt have a clue how to do so. A dark period in Hab history that saw us drafting poorly and making some pretty brutal trades.

hockey_gal89 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 please note i was three when he got traded. i am looking at this from a different ppoint of viem then yours Yeah see, I was 11 when Roy had his phenomenal rookie season (85-86). I was 21 when he was traded and I was heartbroken. We've been searching (Habs fans) for a hero to replace him ever since (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lunarist Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Thanks for the replies guys and gals. I'm sure when the season ticket holders get their tickets they will know because I believe the retirement nights have special tickets but I could be mistaken.
