The Canadiens’ problems were created by Bergevin since he was the man who built the team during his first six seasons on the job. But you have to give Bergevin credit now for the impressive Mr. Fix-It job he did during the off-season, which has the Canadiens holding a playoff spot and sitting in third place in the Atlantic Division with a 28-18-5 record. They sit one point behind the Toronto Maple Leafs, who hold two games in hand. The last time Montreal and Toronto met in the playoffs was 1979, when the Canadiens swept the Leafs en route to winning the Stanley Cup. There’s still a long way to go, but …“I’ve never seen myself … never seen the Montreal Canadiens play the Toronto Maple Leafs in the playoffs,” Molson said.
