Facts. Montreal is going to go... ballpark estimate:
70-10-2 in the regular season, the Weber trade was a steal, Bergevin is a brilliant GM, Therrien is a fantastic coach, and Price is one of the best of best players in the league. It's especially amazing that just a matter of months ago, all of these things except for the last part weren't the case, and already, all of these things changed drastically! Incredible, so much respect for that team having a metamorphosis so rapidly!
Laine is going to win the Rocket with ~65 goals and end up the all-time goal scoring leader too, which is another amazing thing for this season. Montreal has a metamorphic transition overnight, a rookie who wasn't as good as Matthews a few games into the season took a major developmental leap and is the best goal scorer in the league, just biding his time to surpass Ovie... And to go along with that, a 23 year (in Scheifele) is going to win the art ross for the first time in a while.
I would say that the Edmonton vs Montreal cup final would be exciting and yet more notable occurrences this season, a guaranteed Canadian champ! But Edmonton has been mired by a massive slump and lost first place! So Montreal and Chicago will advance to the cup final where Weber, Price, and Anisimov will duke it out for Conn Smythe bragging rights and the cup will return to Canada!
