The 1984–85 Montreal Canadiens season was the team's 76th season of play. The Canadiens finished 2nd in the Adams Division and lost in the Division Final to the Quebec Nordiques 4 games to 3.

Off-season[]

July 1984: Patrick Roy signed his first NHL contract with the Montreal Canadiens. There was a clause that if he played in at least 40 games, he would receive a $5,000 bonus. [1]

Regular Season[]

After scoring only two goals in 19 games and unhappy with the amount of ice time he was receiving, Guy Lafleur decided to retire.

  • October 24, 1984: Patrick Roy was sent down to the Granby Bisons without having played a regular season game. [2]
  • February 23, 1985: At the beginning of the third period, Patrick Roy made his NHL debut. Roy replaced Doug Soetaert and earned the first win of his career in a 6–4 win over the Winnipeg Jets.[3] It was his only game this season but he would play 1275 more games until 2003.

Montreal Canadiens 3, Boston Bruins 2[]

Quebec Nordiques 4, Montreal Canadiens 3[]

The Quebec Nordiques and Montreal Canadiens battled in a seven-game series. Bitter rivals from the province of Quebec, the Nords shocked the Habs in 1982, only to see a fourth-place Montreal club upset Quebec the year before. In the deciding Game 7 at the Montreal Forum, Peter Stastny scored the game and series winning goal, giving Quebec an improbable 3–2 overtime win and berth in the Wales Conference Finals.
