1979-80 O-Pee-Chee (and Topps) Montreal Canadiens hockey cards (and that Gretzky card, too)
The 1979-80 season saw a lot of changes for the Montreal Canadiens, the NHL and hockey cards. The Canadiens' dynasty had come to an end. After winning 4 consecutive Stanley Cups, star players Ken Dryden, Yvan Cournoyer and Jacques Lemaire all retired following the 1978-79 season, while coach Scotty Bowman left the team to become the coach and general manager of the Buffalo Sabres. Four teams from the now defunct World Hockey Association joined the NHL. One of those teams, the Edmonton Oilers, had a young superstar named Wayne Gretzky. You might have heard of him. And hockey cards had bright blue borders for the first time since 1962-63, which was the only other time they had them. The Canadiens had a record of 47-20-13 and 107 points in 1979-80, which placed them 1st in the Norris Division and 3rd overall. After sweeping the Hartford Whalers in the 1st round of the playoffs, the Canadiens suffered a shocking upset in the quarter-finals at the hands of the Minnesota North Stars, losing in 7 games. That brought to an end the team's quest to match its own record of 5 straight championships, which had been accomplished from 1955-56 to 1959-60. The one Topps card in the video is the 1978-79 semi-finals card. Topps produced a card for each of the 2 semi-finals, while O-Pee-Chee opted to bypass those 2 cards and include only a card of the Stanley Cup finals. And, of course, Wayne Gretzky never played for the Montreal Canadiens, but you can't display cards from 1979-80 without showing perhaps the most famous hockey card of all-time. The music in the video is the instrumental version of "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer.

In the 88th minute, Quioto brought the Impact all the way back from a 2-1 deficit to score the game-winning goal to give Montreal a 3-2 victory to clinch 9th place in the MLS Eastern Conference. The Impact will now play New England in a Play-In Match on November 20th. The Impact finished the season with a record of 8-13-2, which isn't very good, but managed to squeak into the expanded playoffs this year as a result of the shortened season due to COVID-19.

With the Impact trailing 2-1 late in the 2nd half, Wanyama scored a beautiful goal off of a corner kick to tie the game at 2 in the 74th minute to keep the Impact's playoff hopes alive.
Bojan Krkic of the Montreal Impact scores vs. DC United 11/8/20
In the final game of the MLS regular season, basically a must win game for the Impact to make the playoffs, Bojan scored in the 13th minute to tie the game at 1 off of a great pass from Romell Quioto.
2014 Upper Deck CFL Montreal Alouettes football cards with Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson & Troy Smith
In 2013, Upper Deck acquired the exclusive rights to produce CFL cards of current players. It issued a 28-card All-Star set that year and released a full set of 180 cards (plus lots of inserts) in 2014. That season, the Montreal Alouettes were a team in transition. After QB Anthony Calvillo was forced to retire due to a concussion suffered midway through the 2013 season, the Alouettes thought they had found their QB of the future when they signed former Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith in August, 2013. Smith showed promise in the latter part of the 2013 season, but was a bust in 2014 and was released in October after completing less than 48% of his passes. Jonathan Crompton ended up taking over the starting QB position and helped turn the Alouettes' season around, as Montreal finished with a 9-9 record after getting off to a 1-7 start. In 2014, the Alouettes also signed former NFL star receiver Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson. It garnered the team a lot of attention from south of the border, but Johnson ended up playing in only 5 games, catching 7 passes for 151 yards and one touchdown (when he hugged one of the officials after he had scored). Upper Deck included both Smith and Johnson in its Star Rookie subset, even though they had already been in the NFL for 4 and 11 seasons, respectively. After finishing in 2nd place in the very weak East Division, The Alouettes trounced the BC Lions 50-17 in the Eastern semi-final, but lost 40-24 to Hamilton in the Eastern final. The cards shown in the video include cards from the regular 180-card set, as well as the O-Pee-Chee Retro inserts and the Game Jersey inserts. The music in the video is "Oceans" by Text Me Records / Bobby Renz.
