There's no shortage of legendary figures in Montreal Canadiens lore.

But this season, the NHL team had to say goodbye to one of its most unsung icons.

In September, after 60 years of service with the organization, thoracic surgeon Dr. David Mulder retired from his role as the team's head physician. (As an emeritus, he can still act as an advisor.)

As a member of the Canadiens, Mulder has seen it all, from eight Stanley Cup championships to potentially life-altering injuries for players like Trent McCleary and Max Pacioretty.

What do you mean he couldn't have predicted it? Clearly Chara planned on becoming a Bond villain from the moment he was born, so he snuck into the rink and created a rut in the ice at the exact spot that would cause Pacioretty to end up in front of the stanchion, leaving him vulnerable to a major injury caused by Chara himself.
