Legendary enforcer Nilan, holds the NHL record for most penalties in a single game with 10 in 1991. He played 13 years in the NHL, 10 of which were with the Canadiens. Nilan won the Stanley Cup with the team in 1986. He now makes his home in Montreal where he works as a radio host with TSN 690.
Known for his slapshot, Bergeron had a 10-year career in the NHL with Edmonton, New York, Anaheim, Minnesota, Montreal, Tampa Bay and Carolina. He is currently the director of player development for the Shawinigan Cataracts.
Lambert scored more than 200 goals in his eight seasons in a Canadiens jersey. He spent 10 years in the NHL, including his final two in Buffalo. He was an important player for four Stanley Cup Champion teams (1976-79).
