Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
And you've probably heard it before that it's been a long time since a Montreal Canadian scored 50 goals.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
The last one was StΓ©phane Richer scored 51 during the 1989-90 season.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
And not that many Montreal Canadians have scored 50 goals.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
You look at the list and you're going to find players like...
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
Guy Lafleur, Steve Schutt, Stefan Richer that I mentioned, Boom Boom Jeffrey on Maurice Richard, Pierre Laroche, with Steve Schutt and Guy Lafleur being the only two who would go to the next plateau, the next milestone being 60 goals.

So Cole Caulfield, we assume he's going to reach that milestone and he's going to join a pretty elite team.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
And he's going to equal that mark that hasn't been, that 50 goal mark that hasn't been equaled for many, many, many years.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
So this is a really big deal.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
The other thing that, the other milestone, the other honor that Cole Caulfield is chasing, can he get past Nathan McKinnon?

Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
to win the Rocket Richard trophy.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
And we know, uh, the Rocket Richard trophy goes to, uh, the league's top goal scorer during the regular season.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
You might be surprised to know that it's named the Rocket Richard trophy.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
Rocket Richard was the first, uh,
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
NHL player to score 50 goals, but no Montreal Canadian has ever won the Rocket Richard trophy.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
And that trophy has been in existence since 1999.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
So that would be a big deal.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
Cole Caulfield being the first Montreal Canadian to win a trophy that named after a legend that means so much to the folks in Montreal.
Canadiens Connection
Montreal Canadiens Are Surging and Pursuing Milestones | Canadiens Connection ep 394
Definitely.
