NHL hockey team season
The 1984–85 Montreal Canadiens season was the team's 76th season of play.
In 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]
After scoring only two goals in 19 games and unhappy with the amount of ice time he was receiving, Guy Lafleur decided to retire.
On October 24, 1984, Patrick Roy was sent down to the Granby Bisons without having played a regular season game.[ 2] On 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 1,275 more games until 2003.

Adams Division Finals [ edit ]
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.
