The Montreal Canadiens are the oldest continuously operating team in the NHL and the most successful, with 24 Stanley Cup titles. Their legacy began with their first championship in 1916 and soared in the 1950s and 1970s, particularly under coaches like Toe Blake and Scotty Bowman. The team's stars, such as Maurice Richard, Jean Béliveau, and Guy Lafleur, have become legendary figures in hockey history.
The Canadiens continued their success into the 1970s, winning six more Stanley Cups, including four from 1976 to 1979. After winning their last Stanley Cup in 1993, the Canadiens saw periods of struggle, with only a few playoff highlights in the 2000s and 2010s. Notable moments include their unexpected run to the Stanley Cup finals in 2021, following a pandemic-altered season, where they ultimately lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
