In 1970 the Cup was thought to be won in the Eastern final, as the West was just a couple years post expansion. The B's and Hawks squared off in Eastern final and as they tied with 99 points a piece and the Hawks were favorites in some quarters. But Eddie Westfall shadowed the Golden Jet thru series going as far as to the dry cleaners to pick up his uniforms. B's swept 'em, Hull ( Bobby, not Dennis) finished with a paltry two assists, and of course the B'S went on to sweep Blues for Cup. I think Nordy could take Aho on in similar fashion, thought Bergy's line would but Nordy could do the defensive job without sparing offense and free up Bergy & mates. Carlo would have to be other chess piece of course this would be a lot easier on home ice with last change.
