We would get dummied by the Leafs. And i hate the Leafs.
The team was out of the playoffs months ago.

That is the thing about the playoffs it could definitely have happened. Toronto has not won a round since 2004 and would have been playing a Calgary team that was coming in with an impressive record of 12-4 to make it. Flames have an all-time coach in Sutter who has won 17 rounds of playoffs and Keefe has lost the only qualifying round he coached in the NHL. Markstrom gets hot Flames steal a game, Leafs have had leaky goaltending throughout the season, they grip their sticks tight, doubt creeps in, Sutter helps the Flames confidence grow and Toronto is out.
Obviously didn’t happen but I would t be overly shocked if the Leafs lose to the Habs if Montreal gets their injured players back.
