I can't stress enough how Game 2 of the Montreal/Boston series was a watershed moment in NHL history.



The Bruins had rookie goaltender Ken Dryden on the ropes, Habs coach Al MacNeil was already a lame duck because he could not speak French and still, the Habs came back to win.

Habs lose that game it is doubtful we ever see Dryden again in Montreal.............but

Meanwhile, Chicago had moved to the West figuring it gave them an easier road to the Cup final and they wound up as a heavy favorite against Montreal
