All finding themselves on the Mount Rushmore of the Montreal Canadiens, Maurice Richard, Jean Beliveau and Guy Lafleur propelled the Habs to a combined total of twenty-three (23) Stanley Cup championships during their playing careers as well as numerous other individual awards as well. All inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame after the conclusion of their playing days, offered here is this April 5th, 1976 copy of McLean's Magazine that pictures all three (3) Montreal legends over the cover huddled around each other. Displaying a headline reading "Les Canadiens - Still in a class by themselves", the magazine hit newsstands just a day after the end of the 1975-76 regular season in which the Habs posted a record of 58-11-11 on their way to their 19th Stanley Cup in franchise history and the first of four (4) straight to close out the decade. Signed by all three (3) Montreal legends over the front cover under their respective images with black marker ink signatures that display largely without issue except for some minor fading, each autograph has been dated underneath by each player in matching black ink. Having had a Jean Beliveau COA taped inside the back cover as well as part of a Canada Post envelope, the magazine itself, appearing to remain complete, shows handling and surface wear to the cover and spine while the cover also shows some residue from the mailing label over the bottom having been removed. Additionally, there are some small page/cover tears to make mention of and toning to the interior pages.
