Ken Dryden, former goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens, reflects on the team's ongoing rebuilding process while attending a tribute to the 1976-1979 Cup-winning teams. Despite the Canadiens' struggles, including a recent loss to the New York Rangers, Dryden notes the impressive fan support and the need for hope in the team's future performance.
He compares the Canadiens' rebuild to that of the Rangers, who successfully transitioned after a significant overhaul. Dryden believes that while the Canadiens are making progress, they still have much work ahead to close the gap with the Rangers, who have made key signings and developed young talent effectively.
