Montreal Jr Canadiens trivia...

[LabattBlue]

Saw this on a Facebook page I follow. This trio put up a combined 277 points in 68-69.  Any guesses for those who did not see this posted on Facebook?

That was the easy one. ?. The other 2 had decent NHL careers.

Recognize Houle on the right.

Going to guess it's Buddy Cloutier on the left? Hard to tell without the fu manchu.

EDIT: No, Marc Tardif, definitely going with Tardif.

This is great!   I had to google images, but great fun.

I just looked at that roster.  There were some damned good NHL'ers on that roster.  Several eventual Sabres.  Neat.

LabattBlue visits some fun FaceBook groups!  I closed my account ten years ago after being inundated with cat memes.  By the way, when it comes to cat memes, three in any seven months is “inundated”.

Tardif spent the bulk of his career in the WHA, where he put up some crazy stats.

666 points in 446 games.

Guy on the left looks stoned.

I'm going with James Dean on the left.  Gil in the middle.  And a young Ray Liotta on the right.

No, that's Francis from Stripes.

The Jr. Canadiens played in the OHA that season, the OHL predecessor.

The QMJHL did not exist yet, and whatever Junior league they had wasn’t enough competition for the baby Habs.

It's hockey.  They were all stoned.

Houle and Gratton are my guesses.

 

EDIT:  I guessed without reading dudacek's post beforehand.

According to the page..Houle on the left, Tardif on the right, but I have no idea.  I’ll go with you. ???

It's definitely Houle on Perreault's left, my right.

Houle to the right of Gil. Marc Tardiff to the left. 

[Tondas]

Not sure if they played on the same line but if they did, that line put up 277 points in 54 games in 68-69.  Averaging a little over 5 points a game.  Incredible.

I love old pictures like that.

The following year Perreault scored 121 pts in 54 games vs 97 in 54. He also did it without those two line mates.

It was a different era of junior hockey. Making the Jr. Canadiens was the most difficult cut those players survived in their careers!
