The top 25 Montreal Canadiens players of all time: Round 14

By a rather thin margin, legendary blueliner Serge Savard was able to win out and take the lucky 13th spot on our list in the last round of voting.

When a six foot tall, 11 year old Serge Savard moved to Montreal, he already knew exactly what he wanted to do for a living. By 15, he was already on the team's reserve list, and he would eventually become one of the best defenders to ever come through the organization. In his Sophomore season in 1968-69, he helped lead the team to the Stanley Cup, and became the first defenseman to win the Conn Smythe trophy in the process.
