Former Glories

So I, being a good Canadian citizen and an honorable Montreal resident, went to see the hockey game last night between the Montreal Canadiens (that's Canadians in french!) and the Florida Panthers. Sadly, for us we lost... Now I'm not a huge fan of hockey, or any sports for that matter (save segway polo), but it seems like almost every time I watch a game lately, my home team loses. That, however, was not always the case. Indeed the Canadiens were once the prodigy child of hockey. They are still the record holders for the most Stanley Cups ever won, home to hockey legends like Maurice Richard and nicknamed Les Glorieux (that's The Glorious in French!). I mean Canadian Montreallers practically invented the sport! Now our team can't even catch a pass. So my question is, what happened?
