The Montreal Canadiens were full value in their first-round win

On Monday, the Montreal Canadiens completed the third comeback in their history after trailing a seven-game series three games to one.

There are reasons that you may feel a sense of déja vu from their win against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

In 2004, they defeated a team with Joe Thornton and a forward named Nylander. They got great play from their goaltender Jose Theodore. In 2010, they defeated one of the top goal scorers in the league, and Jaroslav Halak stood on his head.

Late in the game, with Montreal holding a 2-0 lead, it may have felt like Game 7 against the Washington Capitals in 2010.
