Anyone noticed how Lehkonen, Armia and Kotkaniemi wanted to be next to Koivu? 😄 He's a childhood hero for them 😊

[@alexfontaine3944]

was gonna comment the same thing!

[@MegaJiiRo]

He is not an hero. He is an icon for our nation. Greatest finnish player to have C ever period.

[@frankloo3794]

@@MegaJiiRo Good person alot courage but if you talking about pure Talent , Selanne was better by far in my view.

[@ev1264]

Frank Loo Yes you are right, but Teemu was captain only for one year in NHL for his team, so I think he meant Saku is best Finnish captain which I agree.

[@MegaJiiRo]

@@frankloo3794 I was talking about being a better captain not better player. Also i was talking about our national team not nhl

[@Subihabsfan]

Saku baby! Was cool seeing him back. Legendary captain in my books.

Grew up during the Koivu era & man it gave me chills when they announced him. 🙏🏻

Koivu

Koivu got the biggest cheers/applause's.

Yes, I agree

most fans can't remember the older guys.

Amazing tribute. Also love how all the Finnish guys gravitated towards Koivu, haha.

[@blairrice]

Love em or hate the Habs they truly know how to honour their past. Classy organization.

[@Mosulsson]

Koivu's jersey should be up there. I think the other Montreal fans agreed.

[@gtfour1462]

Agree, but the problem is that there are other Habs legends who wore 11 as well

[@65mcman]

Probably once Gallagher retires or leaves

[@jcfishing9732]

Once gally retires they’ll retire 11 for both of them

[@mooch514]

Loved koivu. But no his jersey will not be retired. Gallaghers either

[@patrickleaver7549]

As always, total class act from Montreal.

[@Jeppeje]

I live in the same city where Saku and Mikko are from, sometimes during the summer break I have walked or cycled past them when they are having a run or something, so great to meet such an legends in everyday moment. :) Sorry of my bad english.

English is perfect. Ton anglais sont parfait.

[@genxtasy9914]

Still wear my Koivu jersey time to time. One of my favorites. That and it's the only player jersey I have.

Best franchise Ever.

O Captains, my Captains!

Earlier today I was reading the “Montreal canadiens. 100 years of glory” by Darcy Jenish. Such a good book that taught me these players

[@vrgobeast1935]

Happy birthday to the Montreal Canadiens 110 years of professional hockey that’s sick

[@jadenippersiel912]

Lol would have been interesting if Patches showed up if he didn’t have a game

[@etiennesharp]

Was there on the night. Biggest cheer was obviously for Saku but Chris Chelios also got a huge reception.

[@SebasGS]

RIP Henri Richard 😭💙💔 today 1936-2020 6/3/2020

Saku Koivu

[@patbrennan6572]

the best captain they ever had was #4 , big jean beliveau and did it for about 50, 000 bucks a year. don't think he ever got a penalty.

[@adambkleen]

I like it

[@steve8811]

No other team will have the historic players the habs did

[@mikes7446]

Umm the Lakers

[@steve8811]

My bad😂

[@Ryan-nv2wp]

Mike S in hockey it doesn’t come close to more historic players though

[@Ryan-nv2wp]

Jordan Detroit doesn’t compare don’t even try

[@Max-xc3tl]

Jordan I agree that Detroit has some legends but Montreal has many more. And as a Sabres fan, Hasek was made in Buffalo.

[@topher1853]

Anybody knows the song at the end when they take the pic ?

[@tiffanynaidoo2003]

Super cool tribute, from a Flames girl. And Guy Carbonneau can play for any team of mine any day!

[@CrueHead18]

People always point to his cancer, really? He was a down to earth person who connected personally with the fans and city of Montreal. It wasn't about stanley cups with him because the team was mostly terrible when he was there. Canadiens were spoiled in the day they were great. He should have number 11 up there. If Stanley Cup is the criteria to get up there, Canadiens good luck to get anoher number up there. Gonna be awhile.

[@mrbarbapapa7509]

Gally, you re the next

Gally or Danault !

[@jeasongagnon4332]

A decade ago was our biggest chance to win it all!

nah we weren't good in 2009. 5 years ago was our best chance, 2 games away from a SCF. If only Kreider hadn't killed Price

What happened to Montreal fans??? Since the they lost the Forum they have not been the same. Anemic applause for the greats who played there. The old Habs fans would have been 10 times louder and crazier than this back in the day.

[@SparkyBobcat-el8hf]

True.....younger crowds who didn't grow up in cup years plus Bergeron ruined the old style stuff....

[@alrightythendaily5897]

I’m sure their old captains are loving this 8 game losing streak though!

Habs all the way even if we’re driving a sinking ship lately. We’re all in it together.

[@quiricomazarin476]

Chelios is a leader but Carbo should have been the sole captain. Keane definitely leader but a bit premature. Turgeon ...well no comment Damphouse...wasn't much there to choose otherwise o'k Gionta had spirit...but team needed a better presance .....he did ok....like Saku but lower level.
