The Montreal Canadiens have a long history that is filled with Hall of Fame players. They have had dynasties in the 1950’s led by the likes of Jean Beliveau, Maurice Richard, Boom Boom Geoffrion, Henri Richard, Doug Harvey and Jacques Plante, all of whom are in the Hall of Fame. The 1970’s featured another dynasty with future Hall of Famers like Ken Dryden, Larry Robinson and Guy Lafleur.
There is no question that “The Hall” is filled with former Habs getting their due recognition. From the earliest days of the franchise when Newsy Lalonde and Howie Morenz were stars to the most recent example of Guy Carbonneau just last year, there has been former Montreal Canadiens getting recognized by the Hall of Fame since it opened its doors.
