The Habs won the Cup in 1971, but Sam Pollack managed to swindle the California Golden Seals out of the first overall pick that summer. Ultimately they had to decide between two future Hall of Famers and Quebec natives in LaFluer and Marcel Dionne. They made their choice and the rest is history. Towards the end of LaFluer's career, after he'd taken 3 years off in the late 80s he was traded from the Rangers to the Nordiques for a 5th round pick. By late 80s standards, that's not much of a return for a legend even if he was past his prime, right? With that pick the Rangers selected future Hall of Famer Sergei Zubov.

RIP

Your American is showing Dave. The iconic surname was Lafleur. You should've stuck with Bossie.

Plus minus is the best stat in sports because if it helps our agenda we get to use it but if it hurts it we get to call it a team stat and dismiss it. It’s undefeated

Also cool. Don't give a rip about the Leafs, but Matthews is a fun player.

As in, ever? For that historic franchise, that’s insane. Wow.
