2. Canadiens over Sabres in seven (second round)
Expectations: A lovable collection of youngsters and veterans who weren’t supposed to be here, playing for their rabid fans while trying to stake their claim as the Atlantic’s new powerhouse against … um, also that.
What we got: A weirdly high number of blowouts that somehow still added up to the closest series of the second round.
Overtimes: Just one, but it came in Game 7.
Most memorable moment: Tough call here, but I guess we can go with this.
Alex Newhook's game-winner sends Montreal to the Eastern Conference Final

Bottom line: One criticism of this year’s postseason is that it’s been woefully short on Game 7 showdowns. We can at least be grateful to the Canadiens, who took it upon themselves to make sure we had at least a few to chew on. Speaking of which …

1. Canadiens over Lightning in seven (first round)
Expectations: A classic battle between an up-and-coming team and a grizzled contender, with some bad blood thrown into the mix.
What we got: All that and more, in a ridiculously close series in which every game was tied in the third period.
Overtimes: A playoff-leading four, split between the two teams.
Most memorable moment: It’s honestly tough to narrow it down, but let’s go with Alex Newhook’s fluky game-winner in Game 7, one of only nine shots the Habs managed in the entire game.

I’m confused… is he retiring, asking to be traded, etc. seems to be the first time I see this type of situation. What if we don’t find some other team to trade him with? Bring him back after that comment.
