Montreal Canadiens have had dozens of legends over the years. Carey Price is currently building a Hall of Fame resume, but he is far from the first Habs great to do so.

Howie Morenz and George Hainsworth and George Vezina did it nearly 100 years ago. Maurice Richard, Henri Richard, Toe Blake, Doug Harvey, Jacques Plante, Boom Boom Geoffrion, Guy Lafleur, Larry Robinson and Patrick Roy among many, many others would build Hall of Fame resumes of their own while playing for the Montreal Canadiens.
