To be fair though can you imagine how many ‘landmark’ goals for US clubs have been scored by Canadians? Suffice to say we’re still a bit behind :)

So you can add the 610 they scored from their founding in 1910 until then. So really, they are just a couple of seasons away from scoring No. 21,000. Now can some historian tell us who scored the very first Habs goal?
