This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/31/2022
Joining once again, in collaboration with the Montreal Canadiens, Classic Auctions is pleased to offer a large collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the storied club's comprehensive archives. A number of historic specimens direct from the famous team including unique displays that were once marvelously displayed in the hallowed Montreal Forum and later at the Bell Centre are available, with an endless array of legendary and monumental players featured that all proudly once donned the sacred jersey of the mighty Montreal Canadiens.
Goaltenders of the Original Six era all spoke of a common theme - the fire in Maurice Richard’s eyes as the Rocket came in on a breakaway. The intensity likely caused many to second-guess their next move, resulting in plenty of goals for the Canadiens. This classic image of the Rocket has been laminated onto board. At 24” x 34”, Richard in pictured rushing with the puck, with his trademark stare on full display. Direct from the archives of the Montreal Canadiens, the photo was likely displayed originally at the Montreal Forum and possibly later at the Molson Centre/Bell Centre. An LOA from Classic Auctions will be included.
