This passage contributed by another editor is not clear and needs re-writing or deletion: I've moved it here so that it can be re-considered and/or worked on to improve it. It is not clear to me what parts of this passage are trying to communicate or how it fit into the section where it was placed (re: what the film does not cover); it also seems not consistent with WP:NPOV:

<< . . . then after almost twice this same record in 12 years with players like Jean Béliveau! From Richard, a lineage has made The Montreal Canadiens a nest for the famous (or infamous for some) "Flying Frenchemen [sic]," terrorizing other teams around the league with their unsurpassed speed, strength and technical abilities in the game, until the team lost its automatic 1st choice for any french quebecer before other teams (after Guy Lafleur). In every city, people crowded the arenas and chanted his name all around the NHL. As some say in USA, Maurice the Rocket Richard would be the Babe Ruth of Hockey. >>

The section "About the Movie" doesn't read as encyclopedic at all - it's too gushing, doesn't cite any sources, and I took out one blatant error in it tonight. Richard didn't break Joe Malone's goal-scoring record a month before D-Day as had been stated - Richard broke the record in 1945, not 1944, and the regular season ended in March. It might be worth tagging the whole section as needing citations.--142.167.141.183 02:04, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title from the Queen

[edit]

That fact is doubtful, as since the 1919 Nickle Resolution, Canadians are forbidden from accepting conferred titles. Anchoress 10:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
