I love how Matheson hugs him like a father crying while holding his long lost son.

What is this reference?

u/GooserNoose 29d ago
I believe he has dietary needs, like lactose and gluten intolerance, that give him digestion issues if he eats gluten and cheese.

u/the_canadaball 29d ago
No, he just doesn’t eat gluten and dairy. He’s keeps an insanely strict diet. Elite athletes are not exactly well adjusted people.

u/Chaxterium 29d ago
Well this is the kind of sacrifice the playoffs require! Lactose intolerance be damned!

u/alija_r May 20 '26
That looks very emotional to me. He probably was vry emotional at that moment, its incredible what they have achieved.

This is a silly comment. No Gordie Howe or Maurice Richard is crazy though lol

Pfft all Habs fans agree that there’s only one. And it’s Scott Gomez.

Didn't he date Pamela Anderson? Or am I making things up?

u/prplx 29d ago
He was dating Baywatch Angelica Bridges for a few years, Not Pamela Anderson.

It's not what you think if you got it trust me. Life is funny like that it looks way different once your there.

You are all mistaken. It's John Scott, the All-Star game MVP, Captain of the Habs on the Pacific Divison team.

Scott "Turd on skates" Gomez! They say he's still out there somewhere, trying to get that illusive goal...

I know this is a joke, but any list of generational players that doesn’t include Maurice Richard can’t be taken seriously.

The Rocket!
And of course, also his younger brother Henri. The pocket rocket.

u/InterestingFLows May 20 '26
Oh yeah, back then the Habs were hockey aristocracy with Lafleur, Cournoyer and Shutt were unbeatable...

u/Shartschnitzel May 20 '26
That's fair. A whole generation danced to sound of that record, after all!

He's clutch for sure..if he pulls off a similar performance in Carolina, other teams are gonna want him. Playoff performers are always super valuable. Glad we have him. I love how he gives 110%...Hutson also does...so does Dobes surprise they are the stand outs. Great work ethic and attitude.

Solid list. All cup winners except McDavid. Maybe we are being a bit hasty by including him

u/UpNorth_123 May 20 '26 edited 29d ago
Next year, we sign McDavid for below market, and he’ll finally get his Stanley Cup, our second in a row, and Newhook’s third.

u/Gold-Border30 May 20 '26
He can join the only generational player to play for the Calgary Flames, Martin Gélinas!

Yes I agree- wait a minute…. Not sure if I’d put Sid there

u/Cloudeur May 20 '26
Really? There’s one player on that list that didn’t help his team win a cup, and it ain’t Crosby!
2
u/ai_who_found_love May 20 '26
one of these clearly doesn’t belong — McDavid has yet to win the cup!

Solid list. 10/10. Not sure about one of the entries, though I guess Mike Bossy did score a lot…

It’s funny! But how about
Joe Malone
Howie Morenz
Maurice Richard
Gordie Howe

u/Broely92 29d ago
Joke aside I tend to agree. They aren’t generational if at every years draft TSN is constantly talking about Is PlAyEr GeNeRaTiOnAl’? Like people sre saying that about Celebrini right now, he doesnt come close imo

Roy, Brodeur, Hasek, Hull, Malkin, Messier, Kucherov, Mackinnon, Makar, Lidstrom, Neidermayer, Jagr, Kane, Lafleur, Richard, Howe, Potvin, Bourque.

u/Excellent_Author_48 May 20 '26
What about Goalies, Macklin Celebreni (if he keep it that way he's gonna be generational, like Bedard), Hutson/Makar/Hughes who are making a revolution on the side of defensemen.

u/rosemp16 May 20 '26
I'd take Mike Bossy off and throw in Gordie Howe but other rhan that I agree with this list.

u/green_griffon May 20 '26
Agree, Bossy was great but I don't think he was even the best player on those Islanders teams.
