great player in those days
There were a lot of players we just took fro granted.We figured if the play for Montreal they were the best. A lot of them were serious hard working players, Ralph Backstrom, J,C, Tremblay, Ted Harris, Claude Larose, these were guys who all won several Stanley Cups and that was just in the 60s ,Of course we all know they tons of talent that followed in the 70's ,Sam Pollock was a hockey genius and orchestrated incredible trades, as well as retaining the top stars too. Just the carryover from the 60s into the 70s was fantastic Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard, John Ferguson,Frank Mahovolich and later from the Bruins came his brother Peter. We were so lucky to grow up in those times and witness incredible hockey. I am probably forgetting plenty but I am old now and I am sure more names will come to me after I press the button to send this in. Thank you for keeping a lot of our memories alive for us to enjoy, Aside from seeing old stars pass way, I still think of the many schoolmates I grew up with have also passed away. Hard to believe some of the kids that watched these hockey stars play have also gone too.
good memory of the canadiens and i like the memory of as kids pretending we were the stars in our own minds being a kid was fun we watch a game at night and the next day kids every where had their own game going in a lane ,or street, schoolyard where ever we could find dont forget the broken sticks we used that were still long enough to fire away a good shot. we kept our good stick for the ice and you made sure it lasted you a long time because you were not getting another one for a while. sure is fun to think back to those days in the late fifties and sixties
