Maple Leafs-Canadiens Preview

It has been 37 years since the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens failed to make the playoffs in the same season. The final six weeks of this season will determine if history repeats itself.

The Canadiens (32-26-6) have been by far the most successful NHL franchise with 24 Stanley Cups, according to their official Web site. The Maple Leafs (30-23-9) are next on that list with 13 Cups since 1917, but none since 1967.
