'93 is interesting - the 3 seed in each division made the final 4.
MTL was 7th in the league with 102 pts. They beat 104pt QUE in 6, swept 86 pt BUF, beat 87pt NYI in 5, and then 88pt LAK in 5.
You can only play the teams in front of you, and at least those Habs handily dispatched their lesser opponents. It seems likely the Habs would have been right at the top of the Smythe or Norris divisions that year.
