Robinson started his career in Montreal as a big awkward looking defenceman. By his third season though he had his legs under him and was a punishing hitter and an offensive juggernaut. Called on to fight ,especially against Flyers and the Big Bad Bruins Robinson filled that role splendidly as well.

He became the best of Montreal's big three on defense. His size and long arms and legs made him impossible to get around. The leverage they afforded him assured he would punish players who tried to get around him.

The big man was also quick to counter attack often jumping up into an end to end rush when he picked up the puck from an attacker. He won the James Norris trophy when he managed 85 points and 19 goals in 1976-77. He won a second Norris trophy in 1979-80 when he also managed more than a point a game. Robinson won the Conn Smythe in 1978 when he had 21 points in 15 playoff games. He was still contributing offensively in the playoffs ten years later with 20 points in 17 games in that failed cup run.

Larry was a great defenceman, the fourth leader in career assists in Montreal Canadiens history and one of the toughest players ever to wear the bleu, blanc et rouge.

Robinson won six cups and played 17 straight years in the playoffs with the Canadiens. Robinson has the leading career regular season and playoff point totals for a Montreal Canadiens defenceman.
