I would be very happy to see a return to the excitement of watching the Habs in the 70s. Obviously no such dynasty is possible in a cap era (not only Cups but regular season dominance), but a fun, uptempo game is not too much to ask.

I don't care how Habs win games. As long as they win.

(Admit it, the Leafs were a bundle of fiery chaos that was exhilarating to watch.)

Why the (frank) would I want to watch a Leafs game?

I was born at the end of 76

Nice article. Strangely I have also compared them to the Knicks for similar reasons. Big Market, some type of star that draws attention and makes fans think there is a chance. Always on the playoff cusp and always fail to deliver anything meaningful.

It wasn't fun in 71 and 73 I tell you. To this day I hate Rejean Houle with a burning passion.

Courneyor and Robinson though.

The Habs had competent people picking and developing their players back then.

Our minor league system has produced very few top 6 players in the last few years and we've been looking for a #1 center forever ... this is not normal.

We're either not picking the right players or we're not developing them properly ... time to clean house down in our minor league system.

To be specific, the conversation was more to do with the 2000's.
