The Montreal Canadiens have swept the Winnipeg Jets in the second round and crowned themselves the Kings in the North (Division). The whole team is truly responsible for this amazing series, but Artturi Lehkonen is a guy that has avoided a lot of the praise, and that just isn’t alright.

Montreal has won their first series, and completely dominated the second series, by using completely unstoppable defence. The way they do it is pretty unconventional, running essentially 2 pairs for over 20 minutes a game, and hardly using the 3rd pair.
