THE REGULAR SEASON

Patrick Roy, one of the primary contributors to the team’s Stanley Cup win as the Conn Smythe Trophy winner the previous spring, becomes the highest-paid goalie in the league when he signs a four-year, $16-million contract.

Four months after winning the 24th Stanley Cup in team history, the team begins the regular season in the new Northeast Division along with the Quebec Nordiques, Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, Hartford Whalers and Ottawa Senators.

In October, the team picks up where it left off in June and loses only three times in its first 12 games. The pressure that comes along with a championship weighs heavy and the Habs begin to slide.

At the end of December, the team is in ninth place in the Eastern Conference and is in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in 24 years. Of course, that’s before Roy rekindles his spark from the previous year. The superstar goalie is flawless in January and February and helps the team win 17 of 27 games.

On February 2, Lyle Odelein makes history by recording five assists in a 9-2 win over the Whalers, tying a team record for defensemen set by Doug Harvey in 1955.

Thanks to their surge in the second half and the stellar play of Roy, the NHL player of the month in February, the team finishes the regular season in fifth place in the East. The 28-year-old netminder ends the season with a career-high seven shutouts. It is the most by a Canadiens goalie since Ken Dryden recorded 10 during the team’s unforgettable 1976-77 campaign.

For a second straight season, Vincent Damphousse leads the team in scoring. His 40 goals are the most by a Canadiens center since Pierre Larouche scored 50 goals in 1979-80.

THE PLAYOFFS

In the first round, the team faces the Boston Bruins, who have won four of the previous five playoff series between the teams. With the series tied 1-1, Roy is felled by appendicitis. It is expected that he will require an operation and miss the rest of the series.

Ron Tugnutt replaces him for Game 3, but the backup goalie is no match for the Bruins’ offense and the Habs lose, 6-3. Roy decides to delay his appendectomy and returns for Game 4. The team wins the next two games, taking a 3-2 series lead.

Unfortunately, the Canadiens drop the last two games and lose the series, 4-3.
