And Boston got somewhat lucky and won game four 1-0 or they would have been down 3-1 in the series. Montreal could have won in 5 and they would be resting up for NYR right now.
Goes both ways.
It was evenly matched and Montreal was better later in the series when it really mattered, got better goaltending and more clutch goals from their forwards.
Scoring overall for the series was 20-16 for Montreal so it is not like Boston dominated them all series and Montreal eeked out a bunch of 1 goal wins.
