Saturday FTB: How good would a Leafs-Habs first round playoff series be?

Photo by Minas Panagiotakis/Getty ImagesIf the playoffs started today, the Toronto Maple Leafs would face the Montreal Canadiens in the first round. That would be a hell of a matchup, and I don’t know if I would prefer that or facing Boston again. On the one hand, I want to beat Boston so bad and doing so would feel soooooooooooooooo much better than beating Montreal.

Yeah I know, they’re supposed to be our historic rival... but never in my life have they ever really been a rivalry in any sense. There’s that one game where our Goon Squad beat up their smaller skilled players, I guess?

But on the other hand, I think that rivalry would pick up reeeeeaaaal fast if they did actually face each…
