The habs were down 5-1,, and then the comeback began. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinot-1 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Habs I/O: "Montreal Canadiens legend Jean Béliveau is recovering at home from a bout of pneumonia. Béliveau’s wife, Élise, told The Gazette’s Dave Stubbs on Sunday morning that recent Internet reports claiming the 83-year-old Hall of Famer is in a grave state of health are not true. Béliveau is resting at home responding to treatment, she said, and his recovery is being monitored." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest habs1952 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Happy to say I did see him play twice(live) and on TV. RIP Gilles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstStar Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Heard about Tremblay, sorry to hear about his passing. Only saw him play when I was very, very young. Remember him better as a member of TVA, before RDS even existed. I know he's not an x-Hab, but was sorry to hear that Pat Quinn died as well this week.

HabsRuleForever Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Former Montreal Canadiens head coach and long-time assistant coach Claude Ruel died Monday at the age of 76. Nicknamed 'Piton,' Ruel coached the Canadiens from 1968-1970 and again from 1979-1981, leading the team to a Stanley Cup in 1969. Ruel was also an assistant coach with the Canadiens, working alongside head coaches Al MacNeil, Scotty Bowman and Bernie Geoffrion. In five seasons under Ruel as head coach, the Canadiens won a Stanley Cup, made the playoffs three times and won three division titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinot-1 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I remember when they brought him into the organization, thinking "who is this guy?" He was very good with the younger players and brought us a cup win. Condolences to his family, friends and the Habs community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimaas Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Mario Tremblay... http://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nhl/ex-habs-coach-tremblay-slags-subban-during-dui-arrest/ar-BBiuGzf Sure hope this gets him fired. DUI? Insulting players on the very team he is supposedly a "respected" analyst for? The guy may have been a great player in his time but Ive got zero respect for anything he's done since he hung up the skates. The best part of the article is either him saying to the police officer “You can’t do that to me, I am Mario Tremblay,” or the fact that he called PK Subban Petty.

HabsRuleForever Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 He was a great player but he really should have left his helmet on during retirement. Tremblay/Houle what a dark time that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 He was a great player but he really should have left his helmet on during retirement. Tremblay/Houle what a dark time that was. Ditto. Loved them both when they wore the Jersey. I don't have any problems with Houle. He was simply a victim of being put in a position he wasn't qualified for. Tremblay rubs me the wrong way since his retirement. He's like our Cherry,,,in love with himself and arrogant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry-Launstein-Jr Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Here's a thread to talk about retired Habs. I got the news that Elmer Lach has died at age 97. The Punch Line is now reunited. http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=761438 I had someone ask me now who is the oldest Canadien. Also I have asked who is the oldest player in the entire NHL. If anybody has an answer for me on the oldest Hab now, I would appreciate it so I can forward it to my fellow Habs fan who asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
