Bob Gainey served the city of Montreal and the Canadiens hockey club for seven seasons as general manager. The moves he made in his time shaped the face of the most storied franchise in hockey history.
Eyes On The Prize Chronicles The Gainey Era
Our Habs blogger Robert L might as well be called our Habs historian, because one quick look over at his site, Eyes On The Prize, is a look into Canadiens history. In typically comprehensive fashion, Robert has chronicled the entire Gainey era.
Here’s a quick taste:
The chronological listing includes all moves (players acquired by trade, draft, waivers or free agent signings) on the Canadiens roster and similar relevant moves concerning the Hamilton Bulldogs roster since 2003.
Each seasonal recap will feature a final roster of all players who played for the Canadiens in that particular season, and a listing of departed players. Where possible, it will be noted the means by which a player has left the organization. Also in the recaps will be a list of players transaction for that campaign, along with the a listing of the players drafted into the organization in June of that year.
Head on over to Eyes On The Prize for the complete look. Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the Gainey era, all in one spot. Epic work, really.
