bell75 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 My favourite was the comeback game against the New York Rangers on February 19, 2008 at Montreal's Bell Centre. The Canadiens came from a 5 goal deficit and beat the New York Rangers in a shoot out by the score of 6-5. According to the sports reports I read, this was the biggest comeback in Montreal Canadiens' storied history. Michael Ryder got the comeback started with two goals. The momentum was unbelievable, you could feel that they wanted to do something great that night. Then Kovalev scored. Then Ryder completed his hat trick. Then Kovalev scored again to send the game to overtime! Then Captain Koivu wins it in the shootout! What's your favourite Habs memory since the last Cup win?

ironhorse Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 The entire 07/08 season. The best team we've had since then. It was just an awesome year all together. Some specifics would be Anytime we beat the leafs, going 8-0 against the bruins, and of course the big comeback against NYR. There was also a game against Philly in which price stood on his head for the win. I think it was 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubby31 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 March,11/96..... Montreal Canadiens play their last game at the old Forum,vs Dallas Stars. As watching my habs win 4-1 that night ,GOHABSGO.....The highlight of the evening followed the game. The closing of the forum ceremony was & still is for me the most special event held my the habs. Hosted by Dick Irvin Jr.,presenting many of yesterday's hab greatest legends coming out onto the ice...the likes of "Rocket" Richard,his brother Henri,Lafleur,Beliveau,Robinson,Shutt,Cournoyer,Dryden,Savard,& many more legends. Coming out to pass the torch to today's present habs stars,was a very nice indeed,awesome. The standing ovations for all was great,the the fans sure out done themselves when it came to the ROCKET....speechless,though so classy this event was....never will forget watching this extraordinary emotional evening. The memories will last a life time for me. GO HABS GO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry-Launstein-Jr Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm going to go with the love that Rocket Richard received with the big funeral in the Bell Center. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall at that one, to say goodbye to my lifelong hero and the man who gave me the two biggest days of my life. Thank you Rocket. His funeral was the first ever state funeral given to a non-political figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to say this is my favourite moment as well. I remember I was watching the game with my girl and when the Rangers scored the 5th goal she fell asleep and I remember me telling her don't sleep they will comeback. For every goal the Habs scored I made sure not to celebrate to loud to wake her, but I ended up waking her up for the shootout and she went nuts.

Lynch_mtl Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I was going to say the great comeback, but I remember a game I liked even better was the first game of the Philly series in 07-08. I was there, and it was my second habs game. The first one I went to was a game where we lost 2-0 to the Penguins, and the 2nd goal was an empty netter. This game was looking the same, as we were down 2-0, and are team was going thrrough rough times. Then we made it 3-3, which included a goal that was reviewed as Kovalev tapped in one that was horizontal with the crossbar. Things were looking good, and I was excited about my first ever playoff overtime. It didn't take long for TK to tap in a goal that will stay with me for some time... With my Dad sitting next to me, this game is my favorite Habs memory ever, easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadiens26 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 One of my favourite's was in the 2003/04 playoffs when we trailed Boston 3-1 in the quarterfinals. Theodore made 40 some odd saves in Game 5 and shutout the Bruins in Game 7 to comeback and win the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey_gal89 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 The night Koivu came back from Cancer. QFT-clearly the best night...except, the torch passing ceremony at the forum, the last game played...That was BIG...I was a fan of the Doug Gilmour glass smash in the playoffs...And Kovy's hit on Tucker...loved it.

Kubby31 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 the torch passing ceremony at the forum. My favorite disk to watch over & over,from the 10 disk Most memorable habs games collection. Nothing compares to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioHab Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I would have to say the return of Saku and the retirement of Boom Booms jersey. Both of these events were fit to make a movie out of. Boom Booms retirement was by far the most emotional I think we will ever see in Montreal with him passing on earlier that day and his wife and kids representing him at the ceramony. The fact that he told his wife when they were dating that his number would one day be retired beside her fathers made it even more significant. He fullfilled his promise on the day he died, I mean how crazy is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I watched the video you posted and I had totally forgot about the last minute faceoff where the Philly center (Carter?) broke his stick and Koivu got the puck to Kovalev to score that goal. I was sitting in the white section I think, but even from all the way up there it was amazing to see. Great game, and I totally understand the whole losing your voice thing.
