Montreal Canadiens Turn 100
It was december 4, 1909 that the Montreal Canadiens played their first game.
A century later the team is marking the occasion tonight as they play their Centenray game at home against the Boston Bruins.
Canadiens are not much to write home about these days - seemingly in a perpetual rebuilding mode. It's been over 16 years since their last Stanley Cup.
But at least for afew minutes tonight that will all be forgotten as the past meets the present at the Bell Centre.
The excellent Dave Stubbs called this video to our attention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt9Gj4JGZk4
