Make no mistake: throughout the entire CWHL season, les Canadiennes were the team to beat. Montreal was extremely strong on all ends of the ice, from the league's best offence, led by Marie-Philip Poulin, to the best defence and goaltending, led by Charline Labonte, not to mention the best special teams by a fair margin.
In short: Montreal was the class of the CWHL.
But that didn't mean they were unbeatable. Just ask the Calgary Inferno, who handed them two of their three losses in the regular season, en route to their own second place finish in the league.
