He has the six best offensive seasons in Montreal Canadien’s history ranging from 117 to 136 points.Β  He won two Hart Trophies as the league’s MVP, three Art Ross Trophies as the league-leading scorer, and one Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP.

2) Jean Beliveau

Beliveau won ten Stanley cups with the Canadiens, five as captain. He won the first Conn Smythe trophy with his performance in the 1965 Stanley cup run.

1) Maurice Richard

The Rocket was the first to score 50 goals in a season, and he did it in fifty games. He was the first to score 500 goals in a career. His 544 goals record in a career was equivalent to Ruth’s 714 home runs until he was passed in 1963 by Gordie Howe. Richard was basically the babe Ruth of hockey.
