The Leafs were a really strong team in '78 but just got over matched in this series.

I know that Toronto eliminated Los Angeles in the First Round of the Playoffs in 1978, was this the series after they eliminated the Kings? How far did the Maple Leafs go in the Playoffs in 1978?

@Jiltedin2007 I believe this series is as far as they Leafs got in '78. After they beat the Kings, they upset the Islanders in the quarters, in seven games.

[Jiltedin2007]

@RobDog65 So this was the series that Montreal won to meet Boston in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Jacque Lemaire is a Montreal Canadien legend.He was often overlooked plaing with the likes of Lafluer,Robinson,Dryden but make no mistake,when you needed a big play Lemeaire delivered.ended up in the Hall Of Fame

Lemaire was a great player but just a so-so coach - I hope he does better next year
