- TOUS SE RAPPELLENT LA LÉGENDAIRE POSTURE DE KEN DRYDEN, LE MENTON POSÉ SUR SES BRAS CROISÉS AU SOMMET DE SON BÂTON.
De la salle de classe, à la salle du conseil à la Chambre des communes, Ken Dryden a connu du succès dans toutes ses entreprises. Dans les 1970, il a fait carrière au hockey de la LNH est il est rapidement devenu le meilleur de son art -- possiblement le meilleur de tous les temps, diront plusieurs partisans.
Sélectionné par Boston à la séance de sélection amateur de 1964, Dryden a été échangé à Montréal peu après, faisant ses débuts avec le Tricolore à la fin de la saison 1970-71.
Après avoir disputé six matchs en saison régulière, Dryden est devenu l'homme de confiance devant les filets des Canadiens en séries éliminatoires. Les adversaires en première ronde étaient les Bruins de Boston, champions en titre de la coupe Stanley et l'équipe la plus crainte du circuit.
Sept matchs plus tard, les Bruins étaient en vacances, tandis que les Canadiens de Montréal devenaient l'équipe Cendrillon de 1971, tirés par le gigantesque finissant en droit de l'Université Cornell (6'4'' et 205 lbs.) jusqu'à la conquête de la coupe Stanley.
Avec son nom gravé sur la coupe Stanley et un trophée Conn-Smythe en poche, Ken Dryden a officiellement entrepris sa saison recrue l'automne suivant. Le printemps venu, il avait fait preuve qu'il n'était pas qu'un simple coup de vent!
Prenant part à 64 matchs, Dryden a signé 39 victoires et n'a subi que huit revers, affichant une moyenne de buts alloués de 2,24. Il a remporté le trophée Calder et a été invité à garder les filets du Canada dans l'historique série contre l'Union soviétique avant le début de la saison de la LNH.
Après les succès de la Série du siècle, Dryden a poursuivi sa domination chez les gardiens de la LNH. Il a remporté une deuxième coupe Stanley et un premier trophée Vézina en 1972-73.
Tous se rappelleront sa légendaire posture devant le filet des Canadiens, le menton posé sur ses bras croisés au sommet de son bâton, pendant que le jeu se déroulait à l'autre bout de la patinoire. Après un an d'absence en 1973-1974, Dryden a gardé le fort des Canadiens au cours des cinq saisons suivantes, avec un positionnement sans faute et des réflexes à la vitesse de l'éclair qui le distinguaient des autres cerbères du circuit.
La fin des années 1970 a appartenu aux Canadiens de Scotty Bowman. Le défilé de la coupe Stanley s'est déroulé à Montréal quatre printemps consécutifs entre 1976 et 1979 et Dryden a remporté le trophée Vézina à chacune de ces saisons.
Après sept années complètes à garder le but d'une des plus grandes dynasties du hockey, Ken Dryden a annoncé sa retraite au terme de la saison 1978-1979. Il comptait alors un trophée Calder, un Conn-Smythe, cinq Vézina et six conquêtes de la coupe Stanley à son actif. - Sport
If Ken had played more we would have won more. He retired far too young. I was in my youth when the Habs were winning Cups during the 70s. The '71 playoff series against the heavily favoured Big Bad Bruins and then Black Hawks will never be forgotten.
Ken Dryden played 8 years in the NHL and won 6 Stanley Cup titles!! No other goaltender can say that! There were at least 10 Hall of Fame players on each of those teams in the 1970’s not including the GM and Coach Scotty Bowman. From 1950-1980 the Montreal Canadiens won 17 Stanley Cup titles!! No other team will ever match that!! The Montreal Canadiens in 1976-1977 is the greatest team of all time along with Ken Dryden and the other 9 Hall of Fame players that played with them!! Their defense was hands down the best ever!! Larry Robinson, Serge Savard, and Guy Lapointe all Hall of Famers not including the forechecking and back checking of Bob Gainey, Doug Jarvis and Jimmy Roberts!!
when you see Ken Dryden anticipate the point blank shots, you realize that its not his size mainly, its his mind- he’s anticipating where the shot is going. Saying its his size isn’t the answer, Cesare Maniago was tall too. And he was always cool in the moment, more than any of his competitors.😊
GOAT
Appreciated😃
Habs won 71 and 79 because of Dryden. His first and last cups.
73 too. Habs were an old team. Dryden big factor there that year
79 he also won because Boston got caught with too many men on the ice.
Much respect for mr Smith to say that
Master 6 coup 8 years
Perhaps I am more jaded about pro sports than most, but I wonder sometimes about the timing of Dryden's retirements. The first in 74' seemed to herald in the Flyers "coming of age" and his second appeared to allow the Islanders to take over the league for a while. Honestly, and I grew up an Islanders fan, I do not think either U.S. based team would have had the success that they did had Dryden played straight through with Montreal in the 70's and had continued into the early 80's.
All the team were aging and on the decline...they were very very Lucky To win in 1979...the forum goast had fx%# the Bruins, AGAIN...
If they had kept Esposito & split the seasons. ...the Habs would have had at least one season without a loss GUARANTEED.
If Lemaire would have stayed on they could have won with Dryden/ Esposito in 80 & possibly 81

Remember meeting Ken Dryden, my sole idol, during the Habs parade in front of City Hall in Montreal in 79.
I had just purchased a colorful autograph booklet and kindly asked him for one.
To my astonishment, he just wouldn't give me one.
I just stood there in awe, a 16 year old, heartbroken
Cheap guy a young 16 year old boy he was
a hockey idol for you ⭐ and he refused to ✏
sign your autograph booklet leaving you with 💔
That memory of Ken Dryden 1979 stanley cup
parade Montreal City Hall.
🐐🐐🐐
The goat
Ken Dryden, the intellectual goaltender.
My top 10 list of best Montreal Canadiens goalies, in order.
1: Ken Dryden.
2: Jaques Plante.
3: Patrick Roy.
4: Bill Durnan.
5: Cary Price.
6: George Vezina.
7: Gump Worsley.
8: Jose Theodor.
9: Bunny Larocque.
10: George Hainsworth.
Bleu, Blanc, et Rouge.... Habs forever.😎❤️
Under rated goalie. One of the all time best
Absolutely!!!!!!!
8 years in the league, Conn Smythe winner, Calder Trophy, 6 Stanley Cups, 5 Vezina Trophies, Hall of Famer...no one with those accolades can be considered "underrated". Underrated is a chronically overused word.
@@CMUBrent the thing is that dryden gets all the credit he deserves, but sometimes, people mention that he had great defense...the habs werent winning until dryden got there, habs didnt win in 74 75 when he went to school,, the habs werent winning after he left in 79/80 . So he was a huge piece of that team of the 70s
That save vs. Philly, with his long reach... was impressive.
I remember 1971 I’m a Chicago Blackhawks fan amazing what he did against Boston and then he comes in. I think the Hawks were up three games one I could be wrong and I’m a big Blackhawk fan. I should know this I could google it but I won’t Montreal ties up the series, Blackhawks are up to nothing. lemaire takes a long slapshot momentum changes 2-1 and the rest is history dried me to save on Jerry Korab, Bobby Hull hit the post when it was two to nothing the crossbar Dryden great goaltender Tony Esposito great goaltender Hal great goaltender, and the list goes on I know I favored the Blackhawks. No apologies, Ken Dryden, a legend and a pretty good lawyer
@5inthehole um...okay. I think you might be half missing what I am saying (I know the reasons that were given for his retirements and they are valid, in so far as public consumption goes). You have a right to your opinion, though.
The Eurekas was first COLORED HOCKEY LEAGUE Google it
Coloured*
1st coloured hockey team was Caucasian players.
I think your referencing the 1st negro league....but even then I know some were mulatto or partially mixed race.
He's such a windbag
