11 cups if you count the original Ottawa teams and the Habs have one exactly ONE since the modern Sens rejoined the league that being their first year in 92-93. I won't even point out what happened between the Habs and the Sens last year in the playoffs.... However, Montreal has about three or maybe four games left this year and that's only if Carey and the guys in stripes continue their play.  Edited by CC-Ottawa

No bitterness, and certainly no envy.

Replying to CC-Ottawa's posting yesterday (7May14): 1. Personally I think the "Goalie Masks" are some of the ugliest issues ever. And, they are cheap to produce and easy to counterfeit. (Sorry.) 2. Mintage figures are never explained by the RCM and they certainly do look bogus - but there is always the chance, however slim, that they are accurate. If there really are only 95 ever issued then I suppose I will have to change my mind about the Ottawa $20 Goalie Mask being "the ugliest". (It seems that the rarer a coin is it is also somehow more beautiful. Asside: However, one exception is that I can't imagine the 2007 "enameled" Thayendanegea ever tickling my artistic vein.) 3. The Canadian appetite for hockey is obviously legendary and inexhaustible! It's like a mysterious illness. Even my Dad (born in 1906, now deceased) who was born in the States but lived some of his fondest years in PQ contracted "HABS Fever". He spent the vast majority of his days in Massachusetts but couldn't help rooting for the HABS even when they played the Bruins in the playoffs. This might help explain why the Montreal 'mask' goes for such a huge figure - i.e. inexhaustible demand! (I do not have the same affliction, however, and am currently rooting for the Bruins but my Dad may be laughing as he watches from above. We're behind 2 to 1!) Thanks for your thoughts. |

best line of this discussion? "The Toronto coin will probably just give you hope, show signs that it will do well, and then just fade away"
Thanks for the laugh.

Well CC, there will be at least another four games left...against the Rangers.  GO HABS GOP.S How about a Carey mask coin? For the right Price it could be a sellout across Canada. Imagine a coin celebrating the Habs goalie minted in Ottawa...  GO HABS GO |

I still don´t understand what the deal is with calling that team the ¨Leafs¨, instead of using the correct word, ¨Leaves¨. It makes us look stupid, in my opinion.
Anyhoo, I think Felix Potvin had an amazing mask for his era.

How about a Carey mask coin? If the Great One can't drive coin sales, I doubt Carey could. But I'd probably buy one for the right price. Blueshirts/Habs should be interesting too. |

Been a goalie since I was 8 (hint that's a long time ago).
It won't be hard to watch two of the best in the world go head to head in the Eastern conference final.
And as much as I'd prefer Anaheim to advance in the West, a match up of Corey Crawford and Johnny Quick would be awesome too.

So now we know CC, the puck stops with you. Folks, from now on all of your complaints about the RCM should be directed to Mister CC-Ottawa. Seriously, I'm really looking forward to the series against New York. I think the Canadiens have not been given the credit they deserve in knocking off Boston. Perhaps there will be more believers after the Rangers are laid to rest.  GO HABS GO |

@ CC-Ottwa
Would you settle for a Dustin Tokarski mask instead?
It will be priceless one day.
Sob! GO HABS GO Sob!

Saw him play at the WJC in Ottawa in 2009. He's a battler for sure but I'd wait on the coin.
