The 1969 Cup

  1969_medium

Montreal coach Claude Ruel became the 11th coach in NHL history to win a Cup in his rookie season.

The Canadiens lost only two playoff games en route to defeating the St. Louis Blues in the finals for the second straight season. Montreal goaltender Rogie Vachon held St. Louis at bay, allowing only three goals in the four games.

The Habs Serge Savard became the first defenseman to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP with a strong two way performance.
