The semifinal round of the 2021 postseason was filled with its fair share of drama and surprises. The New York Islanders took the defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning to seven games, though Tampa ultimately moved on. The Montreal Canadiens, meanwhile, pulled off a shocker by beating the Vegas Golden Knights in six.
It wasn't that no one believed in Montreal, but the Habs were heavy underdogs entering the series. As of June 16, the Canadiens were 170-1 to win the Stanley Cup Finals, per DraftKings.
While the Canadiens are keeping their underdog mentality in the Finals, they won't be content to just get this far.
