Toronto Maple Leafs playoff history vs Montreal Canadiens
Photo by Reg Innell/Toronto Star via Getty ImagesIt has finally happened. The Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs will meet in the NHL playoffs for the first time in 42 years. Surprisingly for two teams that are over 100 years old. they have only met in the post-season 15 times. The Leafs have met two teams more times than the Canadiens - Boston Bruins with 16 series played (8-8 record) and the Detroit Red Wings with 23 series played (12-11 record).
It’s a close record, and it could be tied with this 16th series. Hopefully it is.
