So many things to remember of those years... Some less pleasant memories, but some pretty fun runs. -2002, Saku Koivu fights and wins against cancer in one of the most emotion filled arena one would ever get, getting a 5 mins standup ovation with refs trying to start the game despite fans cheering louder and louder. -2006, the Cam Ward emergence. A goalie coming out of nowhere and taking 4 games straight. Also the Justin Williams high-stick to the eye of Koivu incident, uncalled. -2010, often forgotten the great tenure of Mike Cammalleri, signed in the offseason, as well as the octopus Hal Gill and the former Cup winners Gionta and Gomez. How low Gomez sunk after. Halak was sensational taking the spotlight from a young Carey Price. -2011, the PK Subban show ! What a performance. But that Nathan Horton goal in Game 7 overtime, huge slap from the blue line. -2013, the Pageau chants. The heat started between Senators and Habs fans. That 3 goal game by Pageau added so much fuel to the fire. -2014, Carey Price was phenomenal, PK Subban was as well especially on that coming out of the box goal all alone on Rask. And the infuriating Kreider incident, Tokarski having to step in and of course, Martin St-Louis' great story. I bet LA wished they could have had their revenge for 93 ! -2015, Brandon Prust calling out the bug-eyed walrus coach Paul McLean... Weird story and Prust acted like an idiot running over Sens goalie, I believe Andrew Hammond. -2016, Rene Bourque's impressive playoffs run, especially that goal off the starting faceoff with a beautiful saucer from the other side of center line from Subban ! We also learned to hate Alain Vigneault a bit more with his praising the other team so we can beat them better tactics. -2017, a very unhealthy relationship in the lockeroom and Subban ends up being the one to leave. Rumors have it him and Pacioretty, it doesn't work. Dale Weise also said this year Subban was treated awfully by management with ridiculous shaming. We get Weber instead... and that was the right choice. -2018, Pacioretty leaves the Canadiens for Nick Suzuki, Tomas Tatar and a 2nd. Main piece Tatar, but many are saying it really is Suzuki and that this trade could go down as a crazy steal from Montreal. Especially with that 2nd turning out to be Mattias Norlinder. -2021, Cole Caufield's two first goals being OT winners in the end of the season. Nick Suzuki comes out as the brightest future we have for many years. Jesperi Kotkaniemi, despite all criticism for not picking Brady Tkachuk instead, goes on to tie Habs highest scorers below 21 years old in the playoffs. The future is looking really good with these three guys... What crazy 20 years these have been. A roller coaster of highs and lows...

Saku Koivu should be in the HOF because of how he beat cancer and still became a captain, leader and put up good offensive numbers despite the health issues. If you captain a team for any significant length of time (3+ years), you should get consideration anyways.

Tampa and Philly are their kryptonite.

Just like in '93, they had great goaltending and a great mixture of veterans vs young... One of those great veterans was Correy Perry... What a warrior he has been!! After the season, he told everybody the only thing he wanted was to come back to Montreal and experience the Bell Center full... Unfortunately, possibly after losing in final to Tambay Bay and having received a great offer, he decided to go and play there... My heart was broken and though Price and the young guys are still there, the loss of veterans like Perry and Webber (not sure Staal played a big role) will mean that it's impossible they'll rematch their 2020-2021 stanley cup run (IF they even make the playoff...). 2020-2021, they almost didn't do the playoffs, but it was a team built FOR the playoffs... Next season, it won't be the case anymore with the pre-mentioned losses...

Awesome video

It's the time i've been following and analysing them...They pretty much had really 3 shot at the cup in that period by the roster they created...2009-2010 with that insane Halak run !! The NHL was doing those reverse commercial, History will be made, and his was What if Halak hadn't been 'magnifique ? Very exciting playoff but the lack of offense from the second and 3 line vs a team like the Flyers didn't help...2013-2014, the year of Bergevin and that Vanek trade, great offense, great defense and peak Price...Then Chris Krieder decided at the end of the season to go skate first on 4 elite goalie to injure them, Fleury, Rinne, Rask and Price in the playoff...It should have been a final Montréal vs King like the 90's...Last one is this year with a team build on the balance of young and veteran of the Stanley cup, killing offense with their defense and Price at his best...Then they face the 18 millions cap circumventing team than half the league forgive cause it's Tampa and lost to the monster Bettman wanted to win...So at least there was some fun moments but offensive was the major issue...one they will remedy soon...

Montreal would pay Tampa Bay back in 2014, where Tampa Bay got swept by them. So they're even in that aspect XD Of course, Tampa won against Montreal this year for the Cup.

I remember liking Perreault in his journeys around the NHL. He's another player in the Kirk Muller mold: hard working guy who was pretty good at offense, but VERY good at defense. Those are the sort of players who used to make Montreal infuriating to go up against.

2006 what changed everything was a non call for a high stick on koivu from Williams they were also leading that game 3 until they came back and as a result koivu missed the rest of the series and the rest is history

I am still so mad about 2014. That was Carey's year.

As much as I hated Montreal in the 2021 shortened season, the issue was on Toronto themselves when they choked 3-1, but on the other hand the Habs upset Vegas which made me happy. They did not stand a chance against Tampa for the cup only lasted long enough for 5 games. Montreal could've won the cup when they were at their prime, they could've faced Vancouver for the 2011 cup which could've guaranteed Canada the cup had they not lost to Boston. It's a shame they had a bad year following that unexpected shocker of a run to the Stanley Cup. Under normal circumstances Montreal wouldn't have even made it in 2021, but because the Canadian teams all had to stay within their borders until the "Final Four" round of 2021 playoffs because of obvious reasons they made it.

Fun little fact: that sweep they suffered against Boston in 2009 (prior to the Halak year) prompted a somewhat hasty rebuild. A LOT of trades were made in that offseason to acquire (among others) Cammalleri, Gionta and Gomez. Add to that an up-and-coming PK Subban and things looked kinda bright for them. Now this year, it's the opposite for me. I don't even expect them to make the playoffs at all next year. Expectations are high for some, but for those with half a head to see this properly, there's little to no expectation here.

They have this loser's attitude that I hate so much, in that they'll look at the standings on a given night, and if the opposing team is higher than them, they'll give it their all (giving place to incredible hockey sometimes). But, if the opposing team is below Montreal, they'll just stop caring, thinking it'll be an easy win. How many times has Montreal lost to Columbus this way in the past decade again? And sadly this translates into the playoffs too, where if they're a higher seed, you already know they'll lose in the first round. Point is, no matter how many good players the Habs rack up, they'll never get anywhere with that mentality. Much like that entitlement culture that started to take root in Toronto with Matthews sulking at the fact that Tavares was chosen for captain over himself. Both teams are capable of true greatness, if only they'll let go of these bad mentalities...

But oh well, maybe that's because I enjoy more hockey than just the Canadiens themselves (I got no problems saying I watched a few Bruins games during the playoffs this year, their first round gave place to awesome hockey!) :P

Count how many years they lost to either the cup winners or cup finalists. You try to work it out to make it feel better but it usually feels worse.

KOIVU HAD CANCER AS HE WAS PLAYING IN HIS CAREER

If Toffoli got to play against the Canucks in the playoffs he'd have twice the goals. Honestly if you deduct the Vancouver points from Toffoli's regular season. He didn't have that good a year. He just victimized the Canucks over and over.

1:24 U can't blame Koivu on that one Shannon. The man had cancer up to that point, and was still a strong player

I am not blaming him. Before and after his cancer recovery, he has various other injuries too.

Is no one is going to talk about Tampa throwing game 4?

These guys know how quickly momentum can shift in a series. They saw what happened to Toronto when they let up. If you actually think they threw it your an idiot.

He wasn't even tripped. He fell 2 seconds after being touched. Pretty poor Eva Marie WWE level selling.
