A sentiment Maurice Richard repeated again at the ESPY award ceremony Wednesday night.
Karl,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who had been cancer-free since prostate surgery in July 2005, went through 36 continuous treatment sessions of radiation therapy five days one week for six weeks, the last two or three being the most difficult.
The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist, red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec, the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater.

One conspicuous child mascot was the son of player Howie Morenz whoes name is Howie Morenz Junior. Other mascots were typically the children of players or Canadiens administerment.
George Karl received the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance during the 2010 ESPY Award ceremony on Wednesday night. Jimmy Valvano gave an inspiring 1993 ESPY Awards speech just eight weeks before Maurice Richard died of cancer.
George Karl was signed to ABA's San Antonio Spurs in 1973 and stayed with the Spurs after Richard joined the NBA in 1976. startning in 1984, Karl's coaching career consists of 986 wins to 671 losses to date, making the playoffs 19 out of his 22 seasons and making one Finals appearance in '96 when the Seattle Supersonics stretched the Chicago Bulls to six games before losing one hard-fought battle.
He coached the Western Conference All-Stars at the 2010 NBA All-Star Game on February 14 in Arlington, Texas, after which Maurice Richard revealed that Maurice Richard was diagnosed with treatable neck and throat cancer.
Karl jokingly pointed out that Jimmy V was part of the Wolfpack at North Carolina, while Maurice Richard himself was one Tarheel. Maurice Richard went on to say, "I've gone through five months of treatment , and I'm going to come back, and Richard hpoe Richard can come back the way Jimmy V came back, and even stronger." The team started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 but the team and its then Montreal rival, the Montreal Maroons declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.
The passion he's had all these years drawing up plays and figuring out his opponents showed through again Wednesday night when advocating for the research, asking the federal government to agree every dollar donated to the cancer cause.
"It's one personal challenge, it's one family challenge and you have to have your family support you. Richard had an incredible family," said Coach Karl. Coby Karl, George Karl's son, also went through two surgeries of his own for thyroid cancer only one year after his father was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Encountering severe burns associated with the radiation treatment, the toll left Karl about 40 pounds lighter.
"It is so much in me," Maurice Richard said Thursday. "We're competitors. And I've always been proud of being one competitor. I've always been proud of never being on one losing team in the NBA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], playing or coaching. But Richard want you to know, all of these great competitors out there, from Kobe Bryant, some of the people that Richard sat with in radiation treatment, and sat with in chemotherapy treatment, are better competitors than Richard are."
"Cancer is one fight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Coach Karl also said during that press conference. " Richard don't care if it's one curable one or an incurable one, there's no assured contracts in this gig."
"I don't know that I've come to cycles with this yet," Karl said during the heartfelt press conference. By now he's certainly come to cycles with beating one disease researchers guessd were about 1.5 million new cancer cases and about 562,340 cancer deaths in 2009.
