Canadiens alumni weigh in on Habs struggles
KAMLOOPS — Steve Shutt played 12 seasons in the bleu, blanc and rouge, during one of the greatest eras in the Montreal Canadiens franchise history—twelve seasons during which the Canadiens won the Stanley Cup five times.
These days the 65-year old Shutt’s connection with the Canadiens is coaching the alumni team (last night at Memorial Arena in Kamloops), and watching the Habs flounder in the NHL standings.
“I think everybody that’s played with the Canadiens, they still have a vested interest.” says Shutt, “They want the team to do well, and when they see them struggle the way that they have, I think everybody gets a little bit frustrated.”
