This brings back many many fond memories of great Les Canadiens games of the past. To see Lafleur, Dryden, Robinson, Schutt, Bouchard, both Mahovlich Brothers, and especially Patrick Roy back in a Habs uniform, it is truly heart warming. You would need a calculator to count all the Stanley Cup rings that each player plus the coaches (Scotty Bowman) own.I could see this one over and over. The Rocket I am sure was watching in spirit.
This would have been so cool if the Habs did this one night against a team... imagine the looks on the other team if these guys came out for the warm up and 'todays' team opted out of the warm up skate!!! Obviously they would beat the old-timers, but I am sure many would be in awe. That would be hilarious. I wonder if there is an NHL rule against that?
Even though I am a Flyers fan, you have to say the Habs are without a doubt the greatest Hockey Franchise of all time...class all they way....its wonderful to see all those legends on the ice.....boy do I remember The Roadrunner back in the early 70's...and of course Lafleur....what history!
As much of a Leafs fan I may be, this brings a warm feeling to my heart seeing some of the greatest players to play the game. Loved the reception when Dryden came out!
@lizardking89 i think if the nhl decide to move the canadiens out of montreal it wont be the same and the nhl will suck and they will lose a lot of money and they will fall
@smgvenom1 they cant. the original six HAS to stay in thier respective cities. it will never happen trust me. Those who dont know the original six are Boston Chicago Detroit Montreal Ny Rangers and Toronto :)
I didn't even know this clip existed. Big thrill to see my hero Dryden with pads on, even if he did look 50 lbs too heavy. I remember how I cried (I was 11) when he retired. To this day , I've still had sleep dreams of Dryden playing until the mid 80's.......then waking up and laughing about it. He still had 4 years left. He was one of a kind !
Im a Bruins fan and that line up on ice STILL scares me, I really enjoyed those Canadien greats!! and Dyden was the best ever, I can only imagine how good he would have been if he played with the gear he is skating with in this video!!

Watched this live.... had goosebumps when I saw Eddie throw the pucks to the ice, and pretty much had my jaw to the floor for the rest of this bit.... Had a band rehearsal that night, got delayed because of this... Good upload! =)
Can you imagine the payroll of that line up they had on the ice that night

Because its easier to skate with, and they probably didn't want to fall in front of 20 000 people xD

@xmediaproduction no way, player skates are harder in my opinion. goalie skates or more expensive tho so maybe they didnt see the point.
