The Montreal Canadiens list of Hockey Hall of Fame players is a lengthy one. They now have close to 50 former members of their organization in the Hall of Fame with the announcement today that Guy Carbonneau will be inducted in November.
Carbonneau was a hard nosed, defensive minded center during his 18 year NHL career. He first cracked the Canadiens roster in the 1882-83 season scoring 47 points in 77 games. He was an excellent third line center that would kill penalties throughout his career and shutdown opposing players.
In fact, he was so good at shutting down the opposition he was awarded three times for his efforts.
