Yeah, I respect 24 cups. I was 9 when the Flyers last won a cup and I've concluded that I won't likely live long enough to see them win another. Oh, I'll live long enough for them to reach the Finals another five or six times, just not win;-)

[@JustAllinOneResource]

What is crazy about the team is many of the early players had day jobs. They would work their 8 or more hours a day, get home, eat, and head off to play a game. Incredible players. Too bad there are no English, and French subtitles for the documentary.

Pro athletes in the US had to get off season jobs, once upon a time. In fact when asked what winning the World Series meant, Phil Rizzuto of the Yankees replied, it meant not having to get a job in the off season.

René Lecavalier, OC, CQ was a Canadian French-language radio show host and sportscaster on SRC in Quebec. During his career in radio Lecavalier won several Radiomonde Trophies. He was also the first commentator for La Soirée du hockey, the French-language version of Hockey Night in Canada. René Lecavalier (né le 5 juillet 1918 à Montréal1, mort le 6 septembre 19991 à l'âge de 81 ans) est un animateur québécois de sport télévisé, un journaliste et un animateur de radio. Au Québec, son nom est pour toujours associé à la Soirée du hockey, à Radio-Canada, émission télévisée principalement axée sur les activités du club de hockey Les Canadiens de Montréal.

As a young kid growing up in North Jersey the Canadiens set a standard of excellence. The Flyers and Bruins owned the early 70’s. But the later part of elementary school the Canadiens became bigger than life and I think the model the Islanders & Oilers would follow...

[@maxdakota111]

I get that you have French speaking Montreal/Quebec City and over the years the bitter fight for succession as a province. But when you're producing a documentary which may be seen beyond Quebec, it behooves you to provide subtitles so that those like myself can have a better understanding of the development of that franchise. Fortunately I did understand bits and pieces of the French being spoken. It was cool in the beginning when there was translation. I'm a ardent hockey fan (L.A. Kings) so I stuck with it because if the English spoken between interviews/descriptions of the teams from various players in their respective eras.

Phil Esposito scored 76 goals in one season in the early 70's for the Bruins . That summer he had to get a summer job to support his family . Apparently that is a true story .

The Bruins were cheapskates. So was Chicago .

[@JuliusC1973]

That was the 1971 Season when Montreal's Battle Cry seemed to be stop Orr and Esposito and then the rest of The Boston Bruins. As a Bruins Fan, I hated that.

[@quiricomazarin476]

76 & 76 ...that has to be one of the greatest seasons for a player. Boston had so many guys score over 20 goals.... Sure with expansion the new teams were not as good but still a feat for Phil.

[@normanlinden5786]

That wasn't much of a "wilderness" they were in following The Rocket's last Stanley Cup win in 1960 and their next cup in 1964-65. Over the regular season in those years they finished first three times and third once.

Habs were the team of the French and Irish Catholics and the Jews. The image now is regal, but they were outcasts -- I think the big wigs hoped they would go away. The Bruins are painted as super enemies, but they are just real tough rivals with a lot in common--with mutual respect. .

Vive le Silver Kings de Cobalt

[@daveyboy_]

Great story , although when the team comes out to the ice and the annoncer says " voici votre Camadiens Du Montreal " . Well francofones really take that to heart, and they really believe that its thier team . Such as 'WE payed too much for him' (even though u or i didnt pay a cent.) When in fact a Francofone has never owned this team. See what im sayin ? When Goff Molson says " the GM and or coach has to be french speaking ( no matter how unpopular ) he is just appeasing the franco community. And therefore will not win a Stanly cup for a long time with that type of backward thinking

[@trichotillomaniac1959]

[@jceepf]

It is remarkable that if you ask people who they are, the answer "Canadien/Canadian" is more likely in Quebec than in the rest of Canada. This is constantly shown in census. At that time, Canadien was used by French Canadians to mean exclusively French Canadians. Today the word is more "inclusive" in French to use the politically correct jargon of your leaders while Quebecois would be narrower.. But definitely ice hockey had a huge political component at the time. Today the Canadiens barely have any French Canadians in it..... in fact you have 7 Europeans and only 2 Quebecois--- not a single Quebec Anglophone! It is a different team and sport.
