The 1984–85 Montreal Canadiens season was the team's 76th season of play.

Offseason

July 1984: Patrick Roy signed his first NHL contract with the Montreal Canadiens. There was a clause that if he played in at least 40 games, he would receive a $5,000 bonus.^[1]

Regular season

After scoring only two goals in 19 games and unhappy with the amount of ice time he was receiving, Guy Lafleur decided to retire.

October 24, 1984: Patrick Roy was sent down to the Granby Bisons without having played a regular season game.^[2]
February 23, 1985: At the beginning of the third period, Patrick Roy made his NHL debut. Roy replaced Doug Soetaert and earned the first win of his career in a 6–4 win over the Winnipeg Jets.^[3] It was his only game this season but he would play 1275 more games until 2003.

Playoffs

Adams Division Finals

The Quebec Nordiques and Montreal Canadiens battled in a seven-game series. Bitter rivals from the province of Quebec, the Nords shocked the Habs in 1982, only to see a fourth-place Montreal club upset Quebec the year before. In the deciding Game 7 at the Montreal Forum, Peter Stastny scored the game and series winning goal, giving Quebec an improbable 3–2 overtime win and berth in the Wales Conference Finals.
