How many more cups will the Habs win in your lifetime assuming we live until our 80's

[Richiebottles]

Well I am 20 now so yea 60 years they should win around 5 IMO. Thats one per decade.

Unless they go all Chicago Cubs on everyone. :

 

[mattef]

12?? omg

You realize no teams other than Montreal and Toronto already have that many amount of cups?

Detroit, Chicago, Boston, New York don't even have 12 cups in like 90 years of history. And back then it was much easier in a 6 teams league than now.

Buffalo, St-Louis and Vancouver (and until recently LA) don't even have a single cup in 40+ years of history.

I'm 27, and I'm going to say mayyyybe 1 cup during my lifetime.

 

[peate]

I'm lucky, I've lived through 17 Cups already, so one more would be sweet.

 

[Agnostic]

One would be good. Two would be nice. After that it's gravy.

 

[That Habs Fan]

I've lived 30 and seen just 2 cups (only 1 that I really remember).

I'm going to give myself another 45 years on this earth.

I will say we win another 6 by 2059. (2-3 for Price, PK, Galchenyuk, Pacioretty, Scherbak and co.)

 

[Scriptor]

Sixteen.

I feel much younger than I am.

Does that count?

 

[TCIH]

I'd wager we'll win 3 cups in the next fifty years.

 

[Phil Parent]

I wonder, will we all be here on HF to celebrate it?

I've already been here 10 years. 10,000 posts.

If I die at 80 having been here for 55-ish years and having 75,000 ****ing posts (I'll post more as I get older, I'm sure...) and I have not seen a cup in like 65 years, I GUARANTEE YOU I'll have the world's biggest rant ever on here on my death bed.

"You damned kids! I remember Larry Robinson! Sure he played for L.A. but I remember him! You can take your Crosby The Third and shove it! You can take your Google Brain Chips and shove them too! Back when I was your age, nurses wore skimpy little white outfits with white nylons and little hats with the red cross on it, the thing that spoons my peas is a damn robot! AND THEY'VE GIVEN IT CURVES TO TEASE ME!!!"

 

[nyhabsfan]

A kid in the 70s, but vaguely remember
'76
'77
'78
'79
Highschool
'86 - remember Skrudland playfully punching Naslund standing on the bench with seconds left for the cup...
'89... crying in my beer in my freshman year of college, a hater of the Flames for life as they carried OUR cup around in OUR hallowed building
'93... All those OT wins... big John LeClair with those two OT goals in LA

Wish I had partied harder! I still have both cup hats from the '93 cup

Im 48 now.... 32 team league in the cap era.... 2 maybe 3 .... i will spend whatever it takes for a ticket to see the Habs clinch a cup at home.... I can die in peace then.

 

[Account Terminated]

I'm 27. Probably won't make it to 80 but if I do, I hope for one. Just one would make me happy. Obviously the more the merrier but to watch it all live, like I did in '93 would be something I'd never forget. Especially watching it with my kids.

 

[HABitual]

I'm 39 and I think we would be lucky to see them win one in the next forty years.

 

[S Bah]

I've seen the last seventeen Stanley Cups, all of those have Beliveau's name on them as a player 10 times and as an executive the other seven. I'm all in for another 6 SC's before I kick it! 30 is a nice round # of SC's for the Habs, with another 20 yrs. to get those 6, that's two threepeats , one each decade! Galchenyuk, Subban, & Price are you ready to start this run?

 

[habsfanatics*]

I really think our best chance will be with Andrei Markov still in the lineup, with him gone, it's hole that is nearly impossible to fill. We have some good kids, none of which will likely have the impact on this team that he has had.

I'll be happy with 1, 2 would make me delighted.

 

[Capitaine Subban*]

Likely none

 

[S Bah]

With the spirit of Big Jean residing in the Bell Centre, the return of Stanley Cups are assured for all of the Habs fans once again,IMHO.

 

[JuicyHam]

Hopefully at least one.

 

[Davebo*]

With the spirit of Big Jean residing in the Bell Centre, the return of Stanley Cups are assured for all of the Habs fans once again,IMHO.

Only if that spirit infects our players AND coaching staff. I've been around for many cups as well. This group can do it, if they give a consistent 60 minutes every night.

 

[Kimota]

Well, If you could travel in time 40 years in the future and watch what happened and see that the Habs have not won any cups since, and you could not change anything and then you would go back to the present and would have to live with that thought, how would you react? I've thought of this cause I have the impression that it will never happen again. (Well unless the cap is taken away that is)

 

[Gomez91]

I think Price/Subban could win us 3 cups in the next 10 years. At the very least I would say 7 more cups.

Wow that is a lot in 10 years when they haven't made it to ECF in say 21 years!!! Are you saying Price/Subban on another team perhaps will win 3 cups?

 

[Deluded Puck]

I'm 28 and I'd settle for 2 or 3.

The way the league is structured now means that nobody can stay on top for an extensively long period.

 

[BigBlueReg]

Reckon your finger slipped from S to E. I've been a hockey fan since Vancouver 2010. Seen two Habs ECF appearances.

 

[De Montreal]

Four. I'm 24 damnit.

 

[Zorro]

I'm thinking 2 or 3 and I'm 31. The Habs' window is open right now, so a couple of SCs within the next 7 years is doable. After that I'm afraid the window will close, unless our drafting is spot on again.

 

[DenverHabsFan]

Things you've never seen if you are 20 or younger:

- Habs win a cup
- Kurt Cobain live
- Global temperatures colder than the previous year
...

Difficult times we live in...

 

[Le Tricolore]

There's been two in my lifetime. I only remember 93.

Let's say if they win 2 every 29 years, I'll see 2-4 more Cups. I'd be cool with that.
