+john list Henri was always a fine player in his own right; but yes, he did bring the win to the Habs on this Tues. night in Chicago, 5/18/71.Interesting, too, is that Bobby Hull's brother, Dennis, got a goal for Chicago in this deciding game. Both Dennis and Henri did sort of "live in their brother's shadow". Well, so did Dominic DiMaggio lived in the shadow of his more famous brother, Joe. It happens.. sometimes.

+VolumedMusicMan Why didn't the Montreal organization give the GM job to Scotty Bowman, after Sam Pollock retired? Scotty left... to continue to win, in both Pittsburgh and Detroit. He was the best coach ever!

Correct- amazing it took wirtz 5 more years to can Billy( on Christmas Eve)

duckman531 Yep. My first job in Chicago was at WGN Radio/TV (1966-1968) writing and producing news and sports. The only on-air people who wrote their own copy were Gary Park and Jim Ruddle. I joined WBBM in 1968 on the day it became Newsradio 78, Chicago's first all-news station. Started in news and as a writer and producer. A year later, I joined Brent Musberger in the sports department. Shortly thereafter, we became Musberger-Palmer sports. I anchored morning drive and then went into the field covering games. Brent anchored the afternoons while also anchoring for WBBM-TV downstairs. When Brent joined CBS in NY in 1974, I became a one-man band. Rich King, who was the assistant news director, helped me with some of the reporting and eventually joined me, along with Dave Eanet, who started as an intern. I moved to WLS-TV IN 1985. Rich succeeded me as sports director, and Dave succeeded him. Both moved on to WGN where they remain today. What a great crew we had. For a time, we had the ONLY sports talk show in Chicago. It was built around having great guests and attracted a big audience. But then the bosses decided to go back to all-news during that 6:30-8 time slot. Two or three other stations quickly filled the void.

You did a great job, Brad.The Cubs Golden Era('67 to '73),1972 ChiSox, Walter, Van Lier & Sloan Bulls, the Hawks, the '73-74 Chi.Cougars, The Chi.Hustle....nice era.

PackardJerry Huh? Glenn Hall didn't play with the Hawks after the 66-67 season. He played with the St. Louis Blues and retired after the 70-71 season. Agree with you about Reay's coaching though. On the other hand, the Hawks were unlucky - Hull hits the crossbar and Lemaire comes up the ice and scores from center ice...

+northernale yeah but Glenn almost stoned the C's in the 1968 Finals while playing for the Blues

+northernale I was simply trying to say.. that Tony E. was no Glenn Hall.. or any other great goaltender. Chicago's backup goalie, at the time, Gerry DesJardins, was unable to play because of a broken arm.So, maybe Tony E. was tired. Recall that the Habs defended their slim 3 - 2 lead from early in the 3rd period.. all the way to the end. It must have been about 17 minutes worth. Team defense is what wins.

Jacques knew his ex- mate Tony O. was terrible on long shots

I was going twelve heartbreaking I cried😢😢

+Mark Malone The Bruins, though defending S C champs, were a LITTLE over-rated.... and entered the '71 playoffs "flat"... maybe a bit tired. They were not prepared, especially psychologically, to win the cup again. They tried to rely on talent alone.... and it wasn't enough for a team that "wanted it more".
