Choose who you would want on your top two scoring lines. What would be you checking/shutdown 3rd line and who would you have for your fourth line grinders. Also your pick for top starting goalie and best back-up.

and/or

What would your best Habs penalty killing & powerplay units be.

Remember you have 100 years of Great Canadiens Tradition to choose from.

HAVE FUN!

Awesome team! So many great players to choose from and each brings something different to the table. Maybe you can add Jacques Lemaire as a healthy scratch. :)

I will say the team that only lost 8 out of 80 games in the 76-77 season(correct that if wrong).

That was easily the best team in hockey history.For fun you could put Rocket Richard,Jean Beliveau,and Doug Harvey on that team with Roy as a back up.

Some may argue the Oilers of the 80s would have beat that Canadiens team I talked about but there is no way they had the defense or goaltending to stand a chance.If those teams met in a playoff series I would say the habs would win in 6 games and on home ice.

The Habs of the late 70s and Oilers of the 80s,hockeys 2 greatest teams IMO.the habs have the slight edge because they were the total package of offense,defense,and goaltending.The Oilers just had a hell of a lot of fire power.

Bottom line the 76-77 Montreal Canadiens are the best hockey team that ever played.Imagine what the cap would have been for that team today.

I had a double take there, on your typo for Laperriere. At first I thought you were saying Lapierre (as in Maxim). :lol:
