The Montreal Canadiens have entered the quietest time on the calendar. While there is little to look forward to in the month of August, we decided to take a look back at some of the greatest players in franchise history. We start our site countdown of the five best wingers in Canadiens history with Bob Gainey.
Gainey does not jump out at the top of the scoring statistics pages among Habs history. In fact, he is ranked 24th all-time in points by a Canadiens players and is 15th in goals scored by a Canadiens skater.
While those are not bad totals, they shouldn’t immediately include someone in the list of greatest of all time.
