I think as Habs fans, you fall in one of two categories: - Too young to have been alive or remember the Cup runs of '93 and before. - Old enough to remember but never thinking it would be 28 years between finals appearances. They won in '86 and I think the 7-year gap before they won in '93 was the longest in franchise history, and they had gone to the Cup in '89 in between. I never thought in '93 that it would be this long to see this happen again. Hopefully we can finish the job. Would be a shame to get this far and the team really has worked hard to make it happen. They're deserving (unlike cap cheaters Tampa). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinot-2 Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 "If" our Habs meet TB, it will be interesting to see TB's PP (40%) against the Habs 90.3 % PK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 6 for the 72/73 win ... my first memories of the Habs ... then the 4 cups in late 70s ... the 6 years of pain till Patrick Roy and 86, and then the unbelievable roller coaster of 93 and the 11 OT wins.

Cenner_Hice Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I remember the cup wins in the late '70s and was born 19 days after one of the cup wins in the '60s (swept the Blues in the final that year I think). I wasn't alive the last time the Loafs won. By '93 I had moved to Europe where I remain to this day. Went to bed at 4:30am this morning a very (very) happy person. At work by 7:30am and still happy.

ChiLla Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I do remember 1993, especially McSorley's illegal stick and the Stanley Cup parade, but was only twelve at the time. Different time zones remain an issue but I intend to watch as many games as possible in the finals. Got up at 4:00AM this morning to catch the 3rd and OT, still sitting at work now but not regretting it at all. There's a strong chance I woke up the entire neighbourhood this morning when Lehky scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was alive for the 70s cups (but wasnt into hockey until i was around 8 or 9 so that was the Isle/Oilers time) - my dad is british so we tended to have soccer or cricket (WTH?!) on the TV. haha. In 86 i was living in the states and at that time there was NO COVERAGE - like any - nationally. I used to listen to the games on the radio (if i was lucky - even that was tough). 93 I was back in canada (first couple of years of art school) and watched every second, not expecting we'd go another decade (or more!!) till our next chance at the cup.

26NCounting Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Depending on Kutcherov who I want to face. If Kutch is healthy then a NY/MTL would be a better match up, if Kutch is out then I would have no issues with either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can beat either tbh, but after their iffy work with the salary cap it would be poetic justice for them to lose in the finals with out Kutcherov.

ramcharger440 Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I remember all the cups from Drydens first to 93 went to the parades as well my dad was a huge fan. never thought it would be this long but I remember when Houle blew it all up that we were in for dark days ahead! I am proud of this team they are winning because they are playing hard as a team for each other. there is a base of great young players that could be developed and built on to keep us in the hunt for a while.

habsisme Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 man you guys are old! :p I was a kid in 93, but it didn't stop me running out of the house to the boulevard at the corner of my street yelling and screaming, with one hand holding up 2 fingers, and the other 4. Lots of cars honking at me... the neighnours were a little annoyed but it was worth it I still can't believe this is happening. What a crazy season, and what a team!

campabee82 Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I have seen the Habs win their last 2 cups but was born in Sept of 78 so technically I have been around for 3 cup wins LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
