The 1992–93 Montreal Canadiens
season was the Canadiens' 76th

, the Quebec Nordiques
, in the standings. Montreal would get hot, going 17–4–1, to take a commanding lead in the division, but a late-season slump, as Montreal would have a record of 7–11–0 in their final 18 games, falling behind the Boston Bruins
and Nordiques to finish third in the division with 102 points and a 48–30–6 record.
Four Canadiens (Brian Bellows, Vincent Damphousse, Stephan Lebeau and Kirk Muller) reached the 30-goal plateau. In his first season with the team, Vincent Damphousse
led the club offensively, scoring 39 goals and earning a team high 97 points. Brian Bellows
, also in his first season in Montreal, had a team high 40 goals, and finished with 88 points. Kirk Muller
scored 37 goals and had 94 points, while Stephan Lebeau
had a breakout season, earning 80 points. Eric Desjardins
led the blueline with 13 goals and 45 points, while Mathieu Schneider
also recorded 13 goals from the blueline, and finished with 44 points.
In goal, Patrick Roy
played the majority of the games, leading the club with 31 wins and a 3.20 GAA in 62 games, and earn two shutouts along the way. Andre Racicot
backed up Roy, and won 17 of 26 games, while posting a 3.39 GAA, and a shutout.
At the beginning of the 1992-93 NHL season
, Upper Deck
made Patrick Roy a spokesperson. Roy was an ideal choice as he was a hockey card collector, and his collection amounted to over 150,000 cards. An ad campaign was launched and it had an adverse effect on Patrick Roy’s season. Upper Deck had a slogan called “Trade Roy”, and it was posted on billboards throughout the city of Montreal. A Journal de Montreal poll, published on January 13, 1993, indicated that 57% of fans favoured trading Patrick Roy. Before the trading deadline, Canadiens General Manager Serge Savard
insisted that he would consider a trade for Roy. The Canadiens would end the season by winning only 8 of their last 19 games.
. Quebec finished in second place in the division, two points ahead of Montreal. Quebec opened the series with two wins on home ice, sending the series back to Montreal. The Canadiens responded in the third game with a 2–1 overtime win, to cut the Nordiques series lead to 2–1. Montreal followed that up with a solid 3–2 win in game four to even the series as it shifted back to Quebec City. Game five couldn't be settled in regulation time, as the Canadiens and Nordiques were tied 4–4, and Montreal would stun the Nordiques home crowd with an overtime goal to win the game 5–4, and take control of the series with a 3–2 lead, heading back to the Forum for the sixth game. Montreal then closed out the series at home, defeating the Nordiques 6–2, and advance to the second round of the playoffs for the tenth straight season.
Up next was the Buffalo Sabres
, who had upset the division-winning Boston Bruins
in the opening round. Montreal finished 16 points ahead of the Sabres during the regular season. The Canadiens, who ended their series with the Nordiques with four straight wins, continued their hot streak, defeating the Sabres by identical 4–3 scores in the opening two games, winning the second game in overtime. The series then moved to Buffalo, but Montreal recorded another 4–3 overtime victory, to take a commanding 3–0 series lead. The Habs would sweep Buffalo, with yet another 4–3 overtime win in game four, moving to the Conference final for the first time since 1989.
The Canadiens next opponent would be the surprising New York Islanders
, who had just defeated the heavily favoured Pittsburgh Penguins
to earn a spot in the Conference finals. The Islanders had 87 points in the regular season, which was 15 less than Montreal. The Canadiens stayed red hot, with a 4–1 victory in the first game, before winning 4–3 in double overtime to take a 2–0 series lead, and extend their winning streak to 10 games. Game three on Long Island would again head into overtime, with Montreal winning again, by a score of 2–1, to win their eleventh straight playoff game, tying the NHL record which was set by the Pittsburgh Penguin
s and Chicago Blackhawks
in the 1992 playoffs. The Islanders would hold off the Canadiens in the fourth game to avoid the sweep and end the Canadiens winning streak, however, Montreal would close out the series in the fifth game, and move to the Stanley Cup
Finals for the first time in four years.
Montreal's final opponent of the playoffs would be the Los Angeles Kings
. The Kings, led by Wayne Gretzky
, had defeated the Calgary Flames
, Vancouver Canucks
, and Toronto Maple Leafs
to earn their first ever trip to the Stanley Cup Finals. Los Angeles finished the season with 88 points, 14 less than Montreal
.
The first game, held at the Forum, would belong to the Kings, as they stunned the Montreal crowd with a 4–1 victory. Montreal rebounded in game two, as a late penalty call on Marty McSorley
for using an illegal stick gave the Canadiens a late powerplay, on which they scored on to tie the game up at 2–2. The game would head into overtime, and Montreal once again prevailed, winning the game 3–2 to tie the series up. The series moved to Los Angeles for the third game, and Montreal continued their overtime magic, with a 4–3 OT victory to take a 2–1 series lead. The fourth game would again head into overtime, and again, the Canadiens won, their NHL record tenth consecutive overtime victory, to take a 3–1 series lead with the series headed back to Montreal for the fifth game. The Canadiens would have few problems with a tired Kings team in the 5th game, winning 4–1, and earning their 24th Stanley Cup in team history. Patrick Roy
would be named the winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy
. It would be their most recent Stanley Cup championship as of 2010. Patrick Roy would win two more Stanley Cups with the Colorado Avalanche
in 1996 and 2001.
