Scott Gomez is named Captain of the Montreal Canadiens. Book it.
The Habs start slowly and forum members are screaming for Gainey's head in October, especially after the Canadiens fall to Ottawa 7-1 on a night that Kovy scores a hat trick.

Book it.
Latendresse has a breakout year playing on the second line with Patrick Marleau and Mike Cammalleri—he scores 32 goals and is named to the Eastern All-Star squad. Book it.
Habs finish the season in second place behind Philadelphia and ahead of Washington, then catch fire in the playoffs, thumping the Devils 4-1 in the quarterfinals, besting the Pens 4-2 in the Semis, and beeatch-slapping the Flyers 4-1 in the Eastern Conference finals to set up an Original-Six Cup Final with the Chicago Blackhawks. Book it.
Rookie defenseman PJ Subban leads all first-year blueliners in both goals and points and wins the Calder. Book it.
After falling behind 2 games to 1 to a determined Hawks team, the Habs win 3 in a row to clinch the Final and win Stanley Cup #25. Goalie Carey Price wins the Conn Smythe, soon to be followed by the Vezina. Book it.
Marian Hossa becomes the first NHL player to play on three different Stanley Cup runner-ups—in consecutive seasons. Book it.
Andrei Markov wins the Norris. Book it.
Exuberant Montreal fans celebrate the Stanley Cup by destroying 22 city buses and 58 police cars. 234 people, including 59 police officers, are injured and 206 revelers are jailed. The estimated damage cost of $23 Million easily surpasses the $10 million price tag for the 1993 Cup celebration and sets a new record for Canadian sports riots. Book it.
