The Jean Beliveau Auction- February 2005
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/22/2005
The Montreal Canadiens' tradition of excellence continued during the 1978-79 season as the Habs captured both the Prince of Wales Trophy and the Stanley Cup, each for the fourth straight year. Guy Lafleur made it 5 consecutive 50-goal seasons, Bob Gainey again was the obvious choice for the Selke trophy, while Dryden and Larocque claimed another Vezina trophy. In the playoffs, Montreal swept Toronto, squeaked by Boston in 7 games and took care of the Rangers in 5 with Bob Gainey winning the Conn Smythe as playoff MVP. The Canadiens, with 11 Hall-of-Famers, also established the second-longest Cup-winning streak. This is the exquisite ring Canadiens Vice-President of Corporate Affairs Jean Beliveau received to commemorate another marvellous season. A sculpted white gold Stanley Cup graces the face and is set between four diamonds and the years (76, 77, 78, 79) of the Habs' second greatest dynasty. Twenty-two diamonds represent 22 Canadiens' Cups and surround the face. A polished gold Canadiens logo is on one shank with "Beliveau" above and "Club de Hockey Canadien" below while the other has "1979 NHL Champions Coupe Stanley Cup" and Montreal's "52-17-11" record. The interior of the band is stamped "Josten's" and "10K" and also features an engraved facsimile signature of Beliveau. Size 10 ring shows very little wear and is in terrific near mint condition. Jean Beliveau, a man who won a total of 17 Stanley Cups as a player (10) and executive (7), will sign a LOA that will be included with this fantastic keepsake.
