Who wore number 10 before Guy Lafleur?
Frank Mahovlich was the last Montreal Canadien to wear No. 10 before Guy Lafleur. The "Big M" was traded from Detroit to Montreal for Bill Collins, Mickey Redmond and Guy Charron just prior to the 1971 trade deadline and joined the club in Minneapolis, where the Habs were playing the Minnesota North Stars. Because Montreal had no No. 27 available (the number Frank had made famous with Toronto and Detroit), he was given No. 10, which had been Collins number before he was traded. Mahovlich wore No. 10 for two games before the team returned to Montreal and he was given his familiar No. 27. I believe it was Ted Harris, who was a defenseman for the Habs. it was C.McDonld

Who is the winningest team in hockey?
In over a hundred years of rugby, the All Blacks hold an 84% winning record against all oppostion played. They have also won 74% of all test matches played, and hold a winning record against EVERY TEST NATION IN THE WORLD (including the British & Irish Lions, and the World XV).
Romania (the best team in Eastern Europe), Canada (the best team in North America), Japan (the best in Asia), and other World Rugby Heavyweights Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Argentina, Samoa, and Fiji have never beaten New Zealand.
The average margin when playing the All Blacks is 25-12- that is, they have scored more than twice the amount of points than all opposition combined.
New Zealand is so good, that they have never been ranked lower than 3rd on the World Rankings. In 1987, they were crowned the first ever Rugby World Champions beating France in the final 29-9.
Since 1996, when rugby became professional, the All Blacks have played 149 games, winning 121. Their victories have lead to 9 Tri-Nations Championships in 13 years, play-off appearances in every World Cup to date, a first ever test series victory in South Africa, 7 undefeated tours to Europe; including 2 Grand Slams Tours(when a team plays England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales in succesive weeks and win), a test series whitewash against the British & Irish Lions, a World record 30 test victories in a row on home soil (spanning five years), the Bledisloe Cup, and the Hillary Shield.
Only five test nations IN HISTORY have ever beaten the All Blacks- Australia, South Africa, France, England, and Wales (who have not beaten New Zealand since 1954). The most successful team to ever play New Zealand is South Africa (winning just 40% of the time), while Australia have won the most times (39 victories from 132 matches).
This small, tiny nation boasts a player pool of just 90,000- yet they provide the bulk of the Rugby Hall of Fame.
Not even the great Brazilian Football Team can match the proud winning record of New Zealand. The same applies to Canada in Ice Hockey, Australia in Cricket, or any professional sports team from the United States.
The All Blacks. LEGENDS.

Was the fab five the best team ever to not win a championship?
In my opinion, the best squad not to win a championship is the 1983 Houston "Phi Slamma Jamma" team with Olajawon and Drexler. The Fab Five deserves credit for being runner-up in back-to-back years, but considering they didn't even manage to win a Big Ten title means they don't belong in the category of best ever not to win the championship.
