The Montreal Canadiens are set to be facing the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, after the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Vancouver Canucks 5-0 yesterday and secured the third spot in the North Division.
The last time the Montreal Canadiens faced the Leafs was in April 1979. That was 42 years ago. Many fans barely remember that time, and some weren’t even born then. For this reason, many (if not all) hockey fans are excited to watch this rivalry in the Playoffs.
