Bruins lovers and Hab haters were giving me 10 or 20 to 1 odds on the Bruins series alone. Fast forward to 1986 and essentially the same thing happened as the infidels were again giving me huge odds. But I was living in Fredericton at the time and I saw how the Sherbrooke Canadiens played to win the Calder Cup in 1985. In 1986 I saw that almost half of the Habs roster was Sherbrooke grads...kids who knew how to win. On a personal stake of $500, I won close to $3800 on personal bets.<br /><br />The presence of Blake, Cournoyer, Lafleur, Beliveau, and other alumni serves to foster the very strong family atmosphere that is the underpinning of many of the Habs' dynasties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-70406684355478105822012-05-28T15:00:22.438-11:002012-05-28T15:00:22.438-11:00Now it's Beliveau and Henri Richard and Laflue...Now it's Beliveau and Henri Richard and Lafluer and Cournoyer ....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-42777765708101746162012-05-28T13:30:18.241-11:002012-05-28T13:30:18.241-11:00I am really puzzled about Toe Blake hanging around...I am really puzzled about Toe Blake hanging around the team almost 20 years after he retired.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.com
