- The year was filled with wins and losses, some losses much harder than others and some victories much sweeter, but the team will start the next chapter of Canadiens’ history on January 2nd against the New Jersey Devils.
- Some highlights of the year included, the Canadiens beating the Bruins in game seven in the playoffs; Guy Lapointe’s jersey being retired; the touching tribute to Saku Koivu; the comeback against Ottawa when they were down three goals; Carey Price’s performance in the Olympics; and of course P.K. Subban kissing Pierre McGuire.
- Naturally there were also hard times including: Carey Price’s injury in the playoffs; the Canadiens losing in the Eastern Conference Final. There were also very difficult times off the ice as well, Josh Gorges and Brian Gionta being traded; and the loss of the legendary, Jean Beliveau.

I can remember NYE 1975 I was 13 years old & all my family was together @ my grandmothers for a NYE party I stayed home to watch the Habs vs. Red Army game with a large pizza lol.
This game still remains as one of my favorite games in my long term memory lol.
Tretiak was awesome so was Dryden in net for the Habs but the Habs offence was so powerful it was magical to watch.
NYE 1975 makes me smile & wonder @ where did time go sitting here getting old lmao!
I love my Habs & hope this is the year we can take Lord Stanley.
Go Habs Go !!!
