The Canadiens de Montreal or the Montreal Canadiens have, by far, the most Stanley Cup Finals wins…read moreand appearances in NHL history. At the time of writing this review, the club has 24 championships and 35 appearances. Also impressive is the team's 24-10 Finals record (.706). Incredible. One series is missing from that 24-10 record: the 1919 Finals. Back then, the Stanley Cup Finals were a best-of-five series. The Canadiens and the Seattle Metropolitans played five games that ended in a 2-2-1 tie. Game 6 was scheduled to determine the champion, but it was canceled due to the 1918 Spanish flu. Sound familiar? Unlike 2020, when most athletes were spared from serious illness due to COVID-19, most of the Canadiens players and the Canadiens manager were hospitalized with the flu. Two players ended up dying because of it. The Canadiens absolutely dominated in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. They racked up a staggering 15 titles in those three decades alone. The Canadiens' last championship occurred in 1993. It was a 4-1 series win over a Los Angeles Kings team that featured Wayne Gretzky and other stars like Jari Kurri and Luc Robitaille (Robitaille has been president of the Kings since 2017). In '93, Montreal was led by goalie Patrick Roy. He won his third Conn Smythe Trophy (playoffs MVP) that year. To date, "Saint Patrick" is the only player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy three times. He also won it in 1986 (Montreal) and 2001 (Colorado Avalanche). Needless to say, Roy is in the Hockey Hall of Fame along with several other Canadien greats. The Canadiens made it back to the Stanley Cup Finals last year (2021) for the first time since 1993. Considering the prestigious history of this franchise, that's a very long time: 23 years. It also marked the first time since 2011 that a Canadian team made it to the Finals. Like the 1919 Finals, the 2021 Finals were affected by a pandemic, but fortunately not canceled. Due to unique circumstances caused by COVID, the 2021 Finals featured *two* teams from the Eastern Conference, the Canadiens against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Unfortunately for Montreal fans, the Canadiens lost the series, 4-1. Montreal still qualifies for the playoffs more often than not. Even since the '93 Stanley Cup win that saw two ownership changes and two rare periods of consecutive seasons without playoff appearances (three seasons from 1998 to 2001 and two seasons from 2017 to 2019), the Canadiens have still appeared in the playoffs 17 times. Those 17 times are part of an NHL-record 88 playoff appearances through the 2021 playoffs. This is one of the all-time best teams in hockey. Go Habs Go.

Montreal Canadians are so historic I can't believe they are not in Yelp. The Canadians were founded…read morein 1909 and they are the oldest continuously operating professional ice hockey team worldwide. Plus they're the only existing NHL club to predate the founding of the league. They are one of the original Six teams that made up the 1946 National Hockey League until 1967 when the franchise expanded. Sorry to say the Canadians haven't won the Stanley Cup since the 1992-1993 season. Everyone that knows me knows I love hockey. I can't tell you how many games I've been to and watched in my lifetime. I'm sentimental about the Canadians because I've got friends in Montreal. I sure can understand their dedication to this historic team. I'm recommending you support your team if you're in Montreal!!
