Of this time benefited the still stronger East and presented both finalists. The season started without two of its stalwarts. Gordie Howe finished his career in Montreal, and had the gap left by the Jean Béliveau, be filled by the young Guy Lafleur. As a coach, the Canadiens Scotty Bowman committed. Financially broke to new times. Bobby Orr signed a contract that brought him in five years a million dollars.
