That series was a foregone conclusion with the Original Six in one division and weak expansion teams in the other. The real final was the previous series.

Year One of the Leafs misery.
It is like being in the manger with Baby Jesus.
[Edit]
This was actually Year Two.

I watched a game from the 70s on YT not long ago. Players barely celebrated when they scored goals back then. A few pats on the back, then back to the faceoff line. Nothing like the group hugs and celly lines past the bench we see today.

Pizza the first time is delicious and exciting.
Pizza for the sixteenth time is just delicious……..
No kidding.

To be fair this was in an era where the Habs won maybe 20 Cups in 22 years. Was boring for them.
Marty-Deberg
That was probably like the 15th time that team and those guys had won the Cup.

Old hat for the Habs.

It is so so so so so much harder to win the cup now. It’s not comparable

Big difference between winning 8 playoff games one series of which was a weak expansion team and winning 16 games in a bloodbath
Drawing_The_Line
To be fair, the Canadiens always won the Stanley Cup back then. It probably felt routine to them.

TBF it was like the 9th time for some of those guys. Old hat after awhile.

Other than the fact that no confetti or whatever has fallen on the ice, this looks pretty typical for when a road team wins the Cup.

Just another day at the office. Throw it on the pile

This is the equivalent of a team scoring “too many goals to celebrate”. They won so many cups already by then lol. That was also the 5th cup they won that decade.

Having perhaps the classiest player of all time as your captain will have an effect on anyone

Skip forward a few decades and… boobs on glass. 👀

This is how you celebrate winning the 10th Stanley Cup of your career

There were only 6-teams… and the habs won regularly. Alot harder to win nowadays with 32-teams

Give em a break, they all had to work in the morning.

I enjoy todays celebrations much more

It’s much more authentic. I really hate what reality tv did to sports. Now athletes need to perform celebrating complete with an exhaustive list of bland rituals.

They won every year so it was no biggie

You mean jumping around and wrapping your legs around another man isn’t a bit over the top?
These men were “old school cool”.

Jagr was really good in that final.

Classy team, how men should act. Not like the thugs in todays game
