Toronto/Montreal and Colorado/Anaheim are incredibly tight. Could go either way.

Edit: Minny/LA too.

Toronto has the better D corps, goalies and forwards, I am confused

Hmm odd, you're saying Tavares, who has been invisible at many moments this year, would lead the way over Landy-MacK? Kucherov is great but I don't know about that...I don't see how the forwards are clearly better in TOR here. MTL has more goal-scorers, four clear top six wingers, 3 of them power forwards, while TOR has to plug in more inconsistent guys like Wood and Vatrano, and who is the shutdown line in TOR because MTL has a clear one.

Pelech-Pulock is a great shutdown pair, but also your puckmoving isn't as good as MTL have Werenski and Sergachev. I think the D is comparable. I like Toronto's D, it is solid, but MTL creates more.

Jarry and Talbot are both better than your unproven tandem. Lankinen has come back to Earth a bit, great numbers but small sample and Petersen hasn't started enough games yet although I think he is great as a backup.

Toronto = good. Montreal = better.
