50 Years Ago in Hockey: Canadiens Send Leafs Packing
April 15th, 2016 The Montreal Canadiens eliminated the Toronto Maple Leafs last night in a hockey game that will be remembered more for fisticuffs than for any hockey skill that might have been on display. The Habs disposed of Toronto with a 4-1 win to take their best-of-seven Stanley Cup semi-final series in four straight games. In the other semi-final...
50 Years Ago in Hockey: Bower Human After All
March 31st, 2016 The Montreal Canadiens discovered last night that Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Johnny Bower is human after all.

Given their mixture of speed and finesse, there is no reason the Habs...

50 Years Ago in Hockey: Hurt Habs Hope for Healthy Return
September 28th, 2015 Two members of the Montreal Canadiens who suffered major leg injuries last season are hoping to make successful returns when the Habs’ season opens on October 24.

50 Years Ago in Hockey - A Bad Break for Gilles Tremblay
December 18th, 2014 A busy news day with lots going on in the hockey world. Montreal and Toronto tied 2-2 last night at the Forum in Montreal as a key member of the Habs went down with a major injury. Meanwhile, Bruins shocked the Red Wings 5-3 to snap a 6-game losing skid. And the Russians shocked no one (especially Stafford Smythe) by blasting...
