==Playing career== Tremblay, nicknamed "Le bleuet bionique" (The Bionic Blueberry), played his junior hockey with the [[Montreal Bleu Blanc Rouge]] and played with the [[Montreal Canadiens]] for his entire NHL playing career ([[1974β75 NHL season|1974]]β[[1985β86 NHL season|1986]]), winning five [[Stanley Cup]] championships with the team as a player in [[1976 Stanley Cup Finals|1976]], [[1977 Stanley Cup Finals|1977]], [[1978 Stanley Cup Finals|1978]], [[1979 Stanley Cup Finals|1979]], and [[1986 Stanley Cup Finals|1986]]. In 852 regular season games in the NHL, he scored 258 goals and added 326 assists for 584 points, with 1043 penalty minutes. He scored the winning goal in game six of the 1978 Stanley Cup finals, giving the cup to the Canadiens. He was the winner of the [[Molson Cup]] for the 1982-83 season. Tremblay is 10th on the Montreal Canadiens all-time list for [[Plus-minus (ice hockey)|plus-minus]] at 184. Tremblay remains the youngest goal scorer in franchise history, having achieved his inaugural tally at age 18 years, 75 days on November 16, 1974, against the New York Rangers at the Forum.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-facts-and-figures-november-2/c-301544746|title=Facts and figures: Canadiens strike fast to make history Domi, Armia score two seconds apart; Kotkaniemi has first two NHL goals|website=NHL.com|date=2018-11-02|access-date=2018-11-03|df=dmy-all}}</ref> In his first few seasons with the Canadiens, he was part of a very dynamic [[Line (ice hockey)|forward line]] alongside center [[Doug Risebrough]] (who was also a rookie in 1974-75) and LW [[Yvon Lambert]]. Their job was to contain their opponents' main scoring line and to create room for the team's highly skilled players by agitating and pestering their opponents' best players. When the three began playing together a few weeks into the 1974-75 season, they lit a fire under a team that had started the year slowly, winning just 3 of its first 10 games. All three were regular visitors to the [[penalty box]] during those years. The line was together for all four Stanley Cup wins from 1976 to 1979. In later years, Tremblay was given more goal-scoring responsibilities and was a regular on the [[Power play (sporting term)|power play]]. He scored 30 or more goals in four different seasons, the first time in 1978-79, his fifth season in the league. He announced his retirement in September 1986, after suffering a serious shoulder injury the previous season that caused him to miss the [[1986 Stanley Cup playoffs]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/09/23/sports/sports-people-tremblay-retires.html|title=Tremblay Retires|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=23 September 1986}}</ref>
