Montreal is still having a good time. The Winnipeg Jets' season came to an end last night when the Montreal Canadiens swept the second-round series with a 3-2 overtime win to move to the third round, where they will face the winner of the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche series.
The Canadiens intended to show everyone that they were incorrect, and they did it by sweeping the Winnipeg Jets, who had swept the Edmonton Oilers in the first round. The Canadiens were the last NHL team to clinch a playoff berth this season, and they've been on a roll since defeating the top-seeded Toronto Maple Leafs of the North Division in Game 7 of the first round.
The Maple Leafs last won a series against the Ottawa Senators in 2004, two years after their previous two wins in the conference final in 2002. Since the 2004-05 lockout, the Leafs have made six postseason appearances, losing four of them in seven games.
