LabattBlue Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Saw this on a Facebook page I follow. This trio put up a combined 277 points in 68-69. Any guesses for those who did not see this posted on Facebook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Recognize Houle on the right. Going to guess it's Buddy Cloutier on the left? Hard to tell without the fu manchu. EDIT: No, Marc Tardif, definitely going with Tardif. Edited April 16, 2020 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I just looked at that roster. There were some damned good NHL'ers on that roster. Several eventual Sabres. Neat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 LabattBlue visits some fun FaceBook groups! I closed my account ten years ago after being inundated with cat memes. By the way, when it comes to cat memes, three in any seven months is “inundated”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Tardif spent the bulk of his career in the WHA, where he put up some crazy stats. 666 points in 446 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tondas Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I'm going with James Dean on the left. Gil in the middle. And a young Ray Liotta on the right. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 The Jr. Canadiens played in the OHA that season, the OHL predecessor. The QMJHL did not exist yet, and whatever Junior league they had wasn’t enough competition for the baby Habs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Houle and Gratton are my guesses. EDIT: I guessed without reading dudacek's post beforehand. Edited April 16, 2020 by Eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Houle to the right of Gil. Marc Tardiff to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tondas Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Not sure if they played on the same line but if they did, that line put up 277 points in 54 games in 68-69. Averaging a little over 5 points a game. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 I love old pictures like that. The following year Perreault scored 121 pts in 54 games vs 97 in 54. He also did it without those two line mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphs mike Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 It was a different era of junior hockey. Making the Jr. Canadiens was the most difficult cut those players survived in their careers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
