Episode Details

Montreal Canadiens aim for playoff series win, potentially clinching their first round victory in four years. The teams quick turnaround under new management, led by Kent Hughes, Jeff Gorton, and Martin St-Louis, contrasts with rivals Toronto Maple Leafs nine-year journey to their first playoff round victory. Both teams missed the playoffs in their first two seasons under new management, but Montreals smart depth signings and team-friendly contracts have propelled them to a series lead. The Habs top players have relied on power-play points, while their depth players have stepped up, leaving Torontos star-studded lineup struggling with massive deals and limited maneuverability. A round two appearance would solidify Montreals successful rebuild, but the ultimate goal remains hoisting the Stanley Cup.
