Remember what happened the last time Nick Suzuki and the Montreal Canadiens went to the Stanley Cup playoffs? The Habs went on a surprise run to the final before losing to Tampa Bay.

The London Knights went to three straight Memorial Cups after taking Bo Horvat ninth overall in the 2011 OHL draft and trading for fellow first-rounder Max Domi.
