@mcleanartists my point exactly, actually i saw fergie in person at a racetrack, from a distance he smiled and proceeded to gnaw on his stogie, man he was a giant.
@jetshull Even more important he was relentless and loyal to players who either weren't pugilists or like The Roadrunner and Le Gros Bill, were too important to take penalties retaliating. The ultimate policeman.
I remember this game! Days later, I missed the biggest moment in the series, when I was sent to bed at 10 pm while watching Game #6. In the wee early ones of the next morning, Jean Beliveau scored the winner in double-OT.
@toonguy85 THAT was The Gross Bill's first ever overtime goal, believe it or not!
Here's the call from Gallivan: He's being watched, he flips it to Awrey. Off the boards Provost stopped it. Provost working it in for Montreal over to Believeau...he SCORES! Beliveau!
Irvin: And the Montreal Canadians have won it on Jean Beliveau's goal, and Jean Beliveau, believe it or not has never scored an overtime goal until this very moment!
@Scoclamor : Yes, I do remember that! He was accused earlier in his career of not having a big enough heart, because he didn't score dramatic winning and OT goals, like the Rocket. Beliveau's last three seasons were definitely not his best, suffering deep physical and mental fatigue at the end of each. but the Habbies still managed to win two of three possible cups.
Yep. Boston lost to Montreal in six games in the semifinals. The Habs played the Blues in the finals that year and won 4 games to none, to win their fourth Stanley Cup in five years (65-66-68-69).
funny how the guy who passed it from around the net didnt get a head shot just after he passed it, like they do today.

In 1969, the Montreal Canadiens swept the St. Louis Blues for the Stanley Cup. Could this have been the Semi-Finals?

Boston Bruins didn't make the finals in 1969. They lost to Montreal in six in the semifinals. So it should be game one of the semifinals.
