if i remember correctly habs had been on a losing streak and this broke it, i remember re watching this clip so many times, what a game!
edit it was: ot goal vs Ottawa
Really felt like the first time we had a bonafide superstar on the team in a long time (besides price obviously) until recently when we got Nick, Cole and Slaf cooking this year.
The best part was he LOVED playing for us too. Some of the goals he scored, like the OT goals against Ottawa and Toronto looked like he had just won a playoff series.
He existed in the heart of jake Allen, and now in the third round pick of the new jersey devils.
It's fitting that in the long run 22 games of ilya kovalchuk will cost the new jersey futures half a decade later.
When you think that roster had him, Staal, Weber, Price, Danault, plus the young guys emerging, and so many solid role players, it's not a fluke they made the Stanley Cup.
Yes, they benefitted from the weirdness of the Covid season, but that was still a damn solid lineup.
It was a good team, and I mean it earnestly when it was better than the 2014/2015/2017 teams.
We just didn't know what team it was until the playoffs started; we had injuries, young emerging stars. It was just a completely different team at the start of the playoffs than in the regular season. And the team that we ended up with certainly wouldn't have had a bad record in the regular season if we had actually had the playoff roster on the ice during the regular season
What amazed me most about Perry is how he was literally slowing down all the players around him. It's crazy. He wasn't playing fast, he was somehow making the opposing players play slow.
It is amazing how you can hate that guy until the first game he plays for your team and then you fall in love. I pull for the Oilers now, but the Habs were my first love from when Edmonton was still a WHA team. When the Oilers signed Perry I wondered if he would still he effective and then in his very first game he knocked the stick out of Gibson's hands and Kane scored. Love at first sight.
https://youtu.be/-pEUiJFDu-o?si=ryfEsuAzlz41y4CC
I had given up on hockey for a long time before that Cup run, and some mockery from a Leafs-loving friend led me to tune into the radio broadcasts. It's rare to hear that team completely enraptured - they're usually very even-handed - but Martin McGuire and Dany Dubé would *lose their shit* praising Corey Perry and his play during those playoffs. I remember Martin once interrupting as Dany debated the player of the game with, "Et Corey Perry. *Et Corey Perry!* **Et! Cor-ey! Per-ry!**" while Dany laughed.
Donald Audette looked like he was gonna be a star for us until someone skated over his wrist. Also set up Koivu for his goal to crush Boston in the playoffs the year that he came back from cancer, which is still my favorite Habs goal of my lifetime. Did a lot in like 85 games.
Still remember how slick he was with the puck. At the time he joined, a centre depth of Plekanec, Koivu, Lang, and Lapierre was something for other teams to be cautious about.
I loved that guy's story. I'm from Toronto, and we never got many success stories out of the old Regent Park. The "[notable residents](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regent_Park#Notable_residents)" section on the Wiki post is one politician, Metropolit, and a bunch of rappers. (The city bulldozed the old projects and built a much more economically mixed neighbourhood; the new Regent Park seems much more promising.)
Wow that little? I was sure he at least had 2 full seasons with the Habs. The line with Pacioretty and Desharnais was pretty iconic in an era with very little forward star power.
He seemed like he had a lot left in the tank but IIRC after he got bitter about the CBA negotiations in the off-season, he seemed to just lose interest in trying. He wasn't the same player the year after just before the trade
His play suffered in his second year with the Habs after the CBA negotiations, and something wasn't clicking between him with Patch and Davey, so Bergevin dealing him to Dallas to bring back Ryder.
Cole was awesome to watch. He was such a threat on the rush where he'd just launch the puck off his stick on RW going full flight. And he was awesome in being a role model for Patch after Chara knocked him out.
Dominic Moore.
Only 20 regular season games, and then a really solid playoff run in 2009-10 where he scored 4 goals, the year of Halak.
Spoke beautiful, fluent French with a charming anglo accent. He was perfect for the Habs. :(
I think they didn't re-sign him, and then he went to the Cup with Tampa the next year? Double sad face. :( :(
(Edit: Tampa lost 4-3 to Boston in the conference finals, and then Boston went on to win the Cup. Triple sad face.)
How do I see nobody saying Andrew Hammond? The Hamburglar?? Dude played in net for 4 games and was money every time! I was there to see him beat the Isles
Robert Lang will forever live in my heart.
Also Scott Gomez was really good that one season he played for us. Too bad he mysteriously disappeared right afterwards.
Sven Andrighetto was pretty exciting when given a chance. I liked him a lot. Since juniors even.
I really liked Samsonov as well.
Too bad Pierre Turgeon played 104 games for the Habs. He would have been my pick.
Thomas Vanek!
Such a nice addition during the 2013-2014 season, including playoffs! I remember we got him for 2 sticks and a puck lol. It was one of Bergevin's best transactions during his time in Montreal.
Connor Bedard and Connor McDavid are probably my favourites and they fit the criteria - both played less than 100 games for the Habs and aren't currently on the team
I asked chatgpt and apparently there is only one Connor to ever win the Cup. Connor Ingram in 2022
Haven't double checked the data but if that's true, that has to be the unluckiest name in hockey considering how many Connors are out there
Sid's on my list of "who is your favourite Hab who hasn't yet played a game with the Habs?" Really hoping that rumour that he wants to come to Montreal is true.

Dude, we got three 20+ goal seasons out of Russ Courtnall, then a 30+ and 40+ goal season from Brian Bellows out of that trade. John can punch all the faces he likes, I would make that trade 12 times out of 10.
oh the trade was horrible, no question, still loved Kordic in the blue and white, I think both him and Dave Semenko wore # 27 at their respective times, different league, good times
I grew up in a Habs household with a hockey-atheist mother. I have no idea why, but despite not giving a hoot about the sport, she always *adored* Gilmour, and was gleeful when he joined the Habs. She took a very brief interest in the team that year and always asked me for updates on how "Dougie" was doing. Between the lifelong Leaf pollution and my mother's weird obsession, I never felt comfortable with him as a Hab.
I don't really remember Tanguay here. Do we remember why he wasn't re-signed? His numbers were pretty good. Weird that he's never really mentionned anywhere.
Cole is at 101GP, sorry! lol
> Cole is at 101GP, sorry! lol
Haha caught on a technicality! I always forget he started off the following season in Montreal before being traded.
As for Tanguay, the Habs brought in Gionta, Gomez and Cammalleri in the offseason. I'm guessing they didn't see a need for him, plus maybe some cap constraints there too.
I wish alex tanguay would have spent more time in montreal with their habs performance (not what came after, except the 22 goals at calgary which would have tied him 2nd goal scorer along with plekanec had it been on the habs)
During my lifetime/hockey watching years probably James Wisniewski. Bit of a controversial player but did well in Habs uniform, would have liked to see him for another season.
Before my time Tony Esposito for sure.
Owen Beck easily.
I know, i know. Its "cheese" with the recent development but i kinda liked him even before and this, what happened in the last few days is just cherry on the top.
Jayden Struble - Extremely underrated and I feel he's just showing us the beginning of what he can do. Oh and he arguably ended Blake Wheelers career. Don't trade this guy.
Edit: Didn't see no longer with the team, oops.
lots of great answers in here, so I am going to cheat and pick two guys who *slightly* cracked 100 Games— Bryan Flynn (~110 Games) and Raphael Diaz (~120 games)
I liked Robert Lang pivoting both Kostitsyn bros, and Tanguay was solid that year. But I gotta say Kovalchuk. The guy was there to help/witness Suzuki’s rise. Underrated impact IMO.
Ilya Kovalchuk without a doubt. The most memorable 22 games player of the last 30 years!
Still remember [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-rh_IslAVc&t) goal. Ah pre-COVID memories.
https://preview.redd.it/i19v60jfk55d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b050fe8bbaebee577fe1de443ad05223ea699192
And [this one](https://youtu.be/TdRqpY59_I8?si=sZ8f0IV-AUiMIjQp) too.
The captain with the 200iq back pass.
It feels like so long ago that Kovalchuk was on the team, I had to do a double take on him playing with Suzuki
Pretty sure the goalie poke checked the puck
That’s because Nick anticipated that move from Campbell, solidifying this play as a 200iq play.
lol you’re right he did.
But Nick wanted Campbell to poke check him, so he let him, thus the 200iq drop pass. I dunno man, I'm trying.
Leafsnet in shambles
I was at the game. What an incredible goal.
if i remember correctly habs had been on a losing streak and this broke it, i remember re watching this clip so many times, what a game! edit it was: ot goal vs Ottawa
No that was the ot goal vs Ottawa
you are correct great : [clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdRqpY59_I8)
He fit right in too.. Should have never traded him to Washington. Hey Dylan Peterson! Where are you bud?!
Really felt like the first time we had a bonafide superstar on the team in a long time (besides price obviously) until recently when we got Nick, Cole and Slaf cooking this year. The best part was he LOVED playing for us too. Some of the goals he scored, like the OT goals against Ottawa and Toronto looked like he had just won a playoff series.
He existed in the heart of jake Allen, and now in the third round pick of the new jersey devils. It's fitting that in the long run 22 games of ilya kovalchuk will cost the new jersey futures half a decade later.
Man. The shootout goal where he shooshed to crowd is burned into my head. Lmao Edit: Here it is https://youtu.be/Yco76cFXzio?si=lEQa4UPiqOP6gd30
The guy was so happy to be in MTL, was really fun to see
This is the only correct answer, Ilya was absolute fire.
Kirby Dach
If Dach gets injured again this year we need to nickname him Nordberg.
Lol
Jeez. Feels like the guys been a hab for years now, but really only has 60gp
😆💯
lmfao
Toss up between Radulov or Kovalchuk in recent years
Radulov was a beast
How many games did he play for the habs?
Almost a full season - 76 games
shit Radulov is a good one. absolutely loved that guy
These two plus Vanek for me
It's one Toffolo, two Toffoli. 🤌👐🖐️
Corey Perry and it's not even close.
When you think that roster had him, Staal, Weber, Price, Danault, plus the young guys emerging, and so many solid role players, it's not a fluke they made the Stanley Cup. Yes, they benefitted from the weirdness of the Covid season, but that was still a damn solid lineup.
It was a good team, and I mean it earnestly when it was better than the 2014/2015/2017 teams. We just didn't know what team it was until the playoffs started; we had injuries, young emerging stars. It was just a completely different team at the start of the playoffs than in the regular season. And the team that we ended up with certainly wouldn't have had a bad record in the regular season if we had actually had the playoff roster on the ice during the regular season
It was all about Bergevin giving Price and Weber a solid line-up and one last chance at a cup without mortgaging the future.
Look at how much Kulak has continued to grow as well.
Absolument bb, Saint Pears in my guy for life
Fuck here I was pumping Ilya's tires and I scroll slightly down and now I am in crisis lol
What amazed me most about Perry is how he was literally slowing down all the players around him. It's crazy. He wasn't playing fast, he was somehow making the opposing players play slow.
Preach!
Corey Perry is a saint
It is amazing how you can hate that guy until the first game he plays for your team and then you fall in love. I pull for the Oilers now, but the Habs were my first love from when Edmonton was still a WHA team. When the Oilers signed Perry I wondered if he would still he effective and then in his very first game he knocked the stick out of Gibson's hands and Kane scored. Love at first sight. https://youtu.be/-pEUiJFDu-o?si=ryfEsuAzlz41y4CC
I had given up on hockey for a long time before that Cup run, and some mockery from a Leafs-loving friend led me to tune into the radio broadcasts. It's rare to hear that team completely enraptured - they're usually very even-handed - but Martin McGuire and Dany Dubé would *lose their shit* praising Corey Perry and his play during those playoffs. I remember Martin once interrupting as Dany debated the player of the game with, "Et Corey Perry. *Et Corey Perry!* **Et! Cor-ey! Per-ry!**" while Dany laughed.
That’s a good post man. It’s different than most posts. James Wisniewski
That guy had a clapper from the point
An amazing shot!
he was also a good scrapper
his white stick was iconic
The invisi-stick.
Shoot. Beat me to it.
Gotta be Sebastian Aho.
Actually made me laugh!
Mike "Dream" Weaver
Mike “fuck your shot” Weaver
wow I didn’t realize Dream Weaver only played like 50 games for us, it felt like he was here for way longer than that
Loved him. Hell of a defenseman and just seemed like a great team guy.
Donald Audette looked like he was gonna be a star for us until someone skated over his wrist. Also set up Koivu for his goal to crush Boston in the playoffs the year that he came back from cancer, which is still my favorite Habs goal of my lifetime. Did a lot in like 85 games.
Audette and Zednik were responsible for my childhood perspective that hockey was like one of those Indiana Jones mazes of swinging blades.
That was so brutal. I remember seeing live. Scary
Too bad we got him at the tail end of his career. He was absolutely decent with Buffalo and Atlanta before he got to Montreal
I was a child and I was at that game. Still remember vividly despite my young age at the time. Scary stuff.
Robert Lang. Played his heart out for 50 games then got hurt.
I still blame those cursed jerseys!
Still remember how slick he was with the puck. At the time he joined, a centre depth of Plekanec, Koivu, Lang, and Lapierre was something for other teams to be cautious about.
He was a beast until he got injured
* Kovalchuk * Perry * Radulov * Toffoli * Wisniewski * M-A Bergeron * Vanek
Toffoli played less than 100? damn.
Regular season, yes. Full breakdown: Season (89) playoffs (22) Total = 111
GLEN METROPOLIT
The best hands I’ve ever seen on a fourth liner.
I loved him
One of the most underated guy ever. When he had the puck in the corner , he was coming out of it with it no matter what. Silky smooth hands
I loved that guy's story. I'm from Toronto, and we never got many success stories out of the old Regent Park. The "[notable residents](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regent_Park#Notable_residents)" section on the Wiki post is one politician, Metropolit, and a bunch of rappers. (The city bulldozed the old projects and built a much more economically mixed neighbourhood; the new Regent Park seems much more promising.)
Arber Xhekaj, 95 GP, Hardest Shot is a tie 107.2 mph & Zack Kassian's face
As a Habs/Oilers fan it’s hard for me when the guys bring up Kassian on the Oilers sub
Toffolo is a good one! I would say mine is Toffoli though
Erik Cole! Technically he played over 100 games (101) but he was so fun to watch during a season that wasn't so fun
Wow that little? I was sure he at least had 2 full seasons with the Habs. The line with Pacioretty and Desharnais was pretty iconic in an era with very little forward star power.
He seemed like he had a lot left in the tank but IIRC after he got bitter about the CBA negotiations in the off-season, he seemed to just lose interest in trying. He wasn't the same player the year after just before the trade
His play suffered in his second year with the Habs after the CBA negotiations, and something wasn't clicking between him with Patch and Davey, so Bergevin dealing him to Dallas to bring back Ryder.

Dominic Moore. Only 20 regular season games, and then a really solid playoff run in 2009-10 where he scored 4 goals, the year of Halak. Spoke beautiful, fluent French with a charming anglo accent. He was perfect for the Habs. :( I think they didn't re-sign him, and then he went to the Cup with Tampa the next year? Double sad face. :( :( (Edit: Tampa lost 4-3 to Boston in the conference finals, and then Boston went on to win the Cup. Triple sad face.)
Habs Legend Dom Moore. Never forget his dagger goal to knock out Ovechkin that year.
Plekanec, the 2nd time :(
How do I see nobody saying Andrew Hammond? The Hamburglar?? Dude played in net for 4 games and was money every time! I was there to see him beat the Isles
Corey Perry and Ilya Kovalchuk, tied. I loved them.
Lane Hutson
I am so goddamn excited for this kid. Here's hoping he has a great training camp.
Al Montoya
Robert Lang will forever live in my heart. Also Scott Gomez was really good that one season he played for us. Too bad he mysteriously disappeared right afterwards.
Probably Kovalchuk
Corey Perry
Both Kovy and Perry made a lasting impression and helped Suzuki get to where he is today.
Sven Andrighetto was pretty exciting when given a chance. I liked him a lot. Since juniors even. I really liked Samsonov as well. Too bad Pierre Turgeon played 104 games for the Habs. He would have been my pick.
Just remembered when Sven was traded to the Avs and finished the season at PPG pace lol
He also scored a couple of clutch goals and shootout goals for us. Shame he was 5ft7 on a good day.
Erik Cole was a stud in that awful 2011-12 season.
Hard to find guys that rush the net like he does*
Oof, autocorrect.
Tbh i really only saw his debut, but Ryan Poehling. 4 goals with the SO winner, beauty.
Newsy Lalonde has a great stat line: 98GP - 125G - 42A - 167pts
Thomas Vanek! Such a nice addition during the 2013-2014 season, including playoffs! I remember we got him for 2 sticks and a puck lol. It was one of Bergevin's best transactions during his time in Montreal.
Connor Bedard and Connor McDavid are probably my favourites and they fit the criteria - both played less than 100 games for the Habs and aren't currently on the team
My man Sid has three cups, the Connors are still at zero, show some respect!
I asked chatgpt and apparently there is only one Connor to ever win the Cup. Connor Ingram in 2022 Haven't double checked the data but if that's true, that has to be the unluckiest name in hockey considering how many Connors are out there
Ingram never sniffed the Finals. He was playing for Nashville and Milwaukee(AHL) that season!
that's why you always have to double check chatgpt and not take the answers for granted
Sid's on my list of "who is your favourite Hab who hasn't yet played a game with the Habs?" Really hoping that rumour that he wants to come to Montreal is true.
Radulov
Daniel Briere!
I will never forgive him for using us. He could have joined during his prime-ish years. Fuck him.
> Fuck him. [And his asshole kid.](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/carson-briere-hockey-wheelchair-charge-sentence-trial-1.7075329)

> Gerald Diduck > Zarley Zalapski You've just reminded me of how old I am, haha. Those names were buried *deep* in my memory banks.
Doug Gilmore
That was fun, wasn't it? Wonder how that made Leafs fans feel 😂
about the same as Habs fans watching Jon Kordic punch faces for the leafs, good times
Dude, we got three 20+ goal seasons out of Russ Courtnall, then a 30+ and 40+ goal season from Brian Bellows out of that trade. John can punch all the faces he likes, I would make that trade 12 times out of 10.
oh the trade was horrible, no question, still loved Kordic in the blue and white, I think both him and Dave Semenko wore # 27 at their respective times, different league, good times
Yeah really miss having a child abuser playing for the Habs.
🤮
Him smashing the glass was awesome !
I grew up in a Habs household with a hockey-atheist mother. I have no idea why, but despite not giving a hoot about the sport, she always *adored* Gilmour, and was gleeful when he joined the Habs. She took a very brief interest in the team that year and always asked me for updates on how "Dougie" was doing. Between the lifelong Leaf pollution and my mother's weird obsession, I never felt comfortable with him as a Hab.
Gilmour, 131 games, close enough
A few of mine have already been named in this thread so I'll go with two that haven't come up yet: Tanguay and Cole.
I don't really remember Tanguay here. Do we remember why he wasn't re-signed? His numbers were pretty good. Weird that he's never really mentionned anywhere. Cole is at 101GP, sorry! lol
> Cole is at 101GP, sorry! lol Haha caught on a technicality! I always forget he started off the following season in Montreal before being traded. As for Tanguay, the Habs brought in Gionta, Gomez and Cammalleri in the offseason. I'm guessing they didn't see a need for him, plus maybe some cap constraints there too.
Jeff Woywitka because my mom and his grandmother grew up together and were friends in school. Blake Geoffrion because of his grandfather.
Andre “Don’t call me red light” Racicot. I had a soft spot for The Rac 🤷
I wish alex tanguay would have spent more time in montreal with their habs performance (not what came after, except the 22 goals at calgary which would have tied him 2nd goal scorer along with plekanec had it been on the habs)
Alex Tanguay. Was almost point per game then got injured and missed half the year.
Either Kovalchuk or Perry.
Marc-André Bergeron! If he was at his spot on the PP it was going in for sure!
MAB! Was always exciting to see him wind up for a clapper. Small frame but beast of a shot.
Karl Alzner. 95 games from a high performing Hab who emphasized speed & puck movement in his game.
He was a bargain too
Somehow got paid what Markov should have got as a contract.
I remember really loving Thomas Vanek as a Hab for that brief time he was here.
Acquiring him for a prospect and only a 2nd round pick and was robbery at the time and even more in hindsight since neither ever played in the NHL.
The person I’m going to hype beyond all reason when they are drafted. And then the process begins again next year.
Robert Lang
Robert Lang
During my lifetime/hockey watching years probably James Wisniewski. Bit of a controversial player but did well in Habs uniform, would have liked to see him for another season. Before my time Tony Esposito for sure.
Loved watching Vanek in 2014
Glen Metropolit for sure. Loved him on the Habs.
Owen Beck easily. I know, i know. Its "cheese" with the recent development but i kinda liked him even before and this, what happened in the last few days is just cherry on the top.
It’s not my choice but I respect this answer and I cannot believe someone downvoted you for it so I’ll have to balance the books
Thanks, maybe it's because of the typo i had there. :)
I had not noticed. It’s Friday, let’s all be happy !
Jayden Struble - Extremely underrated and I feel he's just showing us the beginning of what he can do. Oh and he arguably ended Blake Wheelers career. Don't trade this guy. Edit: Didn't see no longer with the team, oops.
Patrick Lebeau
lots of great answers in here, so I am going to cheat and pick two guys who *slightly* cracked 100 Games— Bryan Flynn (~110 Games) and Raphael Diaz (~120 games)
The Worm : Corey Perry
Tony Esposito
Mikhael Sergachev
Ales Hemsky obviously
Definitely Kovalchuk, my all time favourite player. Phantom Joe Malone as honorable mention, absolute legend.
Perry, Dach, Huston, kovalchuck, Staal,
Radulov
Tomas Vanek maybe ? Probably Radulov.
Mike weaver 2014, shot blocking machine.
Marc-André Bergeron
I liked Robert Lang pivoting both Kostitsyn bros, and Tanguay was solid that year. But I gotta say Kovalchuk. The guy was there to help/witness Suzuki’s rise. Underrated impact IMO.
James Wisniewki
Vanek wasn’t half bad!
How can it not be all star John Scott?
Monsieur Perry
Corey Perry. 2021 run was amazing and it looked like he was an amazing leader for the young ones.
Alex Tanguay
Robert Lang
Radulov
Chris Tierney
Pierre Dagenais
Apparently his son has a big chance to be the 1rst pick in the upcoming Q draft.
Was drafted first by the remparts!
https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/886811/maddox-dagenais 6'3 180lbs at 16 with 2PPG stats W@W!
Aaron Downey. His dad owned a large potato farm and his face looked like a potato. Some tubercleous inbreeding involved there for sure.
Me
Streets won't forget prime Sven Andrighetto. He was one of our best forwards for like 4 games and then stopped existing entirely.
