With 41 total cups between both teams, a bevy of hall of fame players, and too many other accolades to count it was a star studded affair, even with a player like Larry Robinson sitting out due to a torn rotator cuff.
Jose Theodore was the star of the opening frame, and looked as if he had never retired, with several sprawling saves, and perhaps most impressively stoning Don Sweeney on a breakaway. Patrice Brisebois opened the scoring for the Canadiens alumni with a squeaker that just trickled in between the legs of Reggie Lemelin.
Following that the show belonged to Mats Naslund and Alex Kovalev who combined for the Habs alumni's second goal of the night, a nice snipe from Kovalev who did not moonwalk afterwards.
