From the Publisher
When most sports fans hear the stat 3,000, they immediately turn to
baseball. But for those fans whose breath comes out in frosty
puffs, and who bleed ice and snow, 3,000 can only mean one
thing-the glory of Montreal Canadiens hockey. The "Original One" of
the "Original Six," the Montreal Canadiens hockey team is
practically synonymous with superlative: The most Stanley Cup
championship victories, with 24? The Montreal Canadiens. The
highest number of regular-season wins? The Montreal Canadiens. The
oldest active franchise in the NHL? The Montreal Canadiens.
Now the hundred-plus years of Canadiens triumphs, tragedies, and
times like no other are captured in Robert Lefebvre's Tales
from the Montreal Canadiens Locker Room. In this unique
compendium, Lefebvre brings to life both the history and the
anecdotes of this incredible franchise. Stories of Maurice "Rocket"
Richard's incredible skills on the ice are paired side by side with
locker room yarns and off-the-ice tales of Jean Beliveau, Dickie
Moore, Serge Savard, Guy Lapointe, Patrick Roy, and more. With
humor, wit, and a lot of adrenaline, Robert Lefebvre has compiled a
collection of Montreal Canadiens stories sure to please any hockey
fan.
