It was a smaller league way back when, but our two teams met in the playoffs in a seminal series in 1975 (what in the world was Steve Vickers thinking?) and then in another landmark matchup in 1979 that was front-page material, and then in 1981, 1982, 1983 and a fourth straight year in 1984, which ended with Ken Morrow in overtime.
