There is only one team in the NHL that has been the most victorious, snagging the most number of Stanley Cup Wins and boasting of some of the best players the NHL has ever seen. The team has also had some of the most memorable moments in hockey during its lifetime. This team is the Montreal Canadiens and you haven't experienced the true spirit of NHL hockey until you have tickets to see the Canadiens play live on the ice.

The Canadiens are based in Quebec Montreal and sport the colors red, blue and white. They are the oldest established franchise in the NHL, one of the NHL's Original Six teams. The Canadiens are also the second most successful sports club in the history of North American sports, with baseball's New York Yankees coming in first. The team is almost one hundred years old and during that time, they have won the Stanley Cup no less than 24 times, the most number of wins from any team in the NHL. They are also the last Canadian team to lift the Stanley Cup, bringing it home in 1992-1993.

The Canadiens share a longstanding traditional rivalry with the Toronto Maple Leafs. This rivalry is the longest in the history of the NHL, dating back to 1917 when the Leafs first hit the ice. This rivalry has grown mainly due to the fact that for almost thirty years, they were the only Canadian teams in existence. They were also seen to be representative of the rivalry between the French and the English. The Canadiens also share a rousing rivalry with the Boston Bruins, which began when the two teams began to continuously butt heads in the playoffs. The Canadiens also shared a strong rivalry with the former Quebec Nordiques and their battles began to be known as the 'The Battle of Quebec'.

It is generally believed that the strongest Canadiens team till date is the one that hit the ice during the fifties, as they won the Cup six times during that period and made the finals every year. This killer team was greatly helped by the presence of such players as Maurice Richards and Bernard "Boom Boom" Geoffrion. It was during this period that Montreal became obsessed with the Canadiens, so much so that riots broke out in the city when Richards was suspended for assaulting a Bruins player and an official.

In recent years, especially the new millennium the Canadiens have failed to live up to the high standards set by the teams of the past. However they have some unbelievable talent in their current line up and are certain to do some serious damage in the coming season.
