Well, the magic disappeared…Montreal finally found a team that it could play even, but lost the series. The shot totals below are from Philadelphia's perspective – they barely broke even at most scores:
| Lead | -2 | -2 | -1 | -1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| Game | SF | SA | SF | SA | SF | SA | SF | SA | SF | SA |
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 12 | 17 | 3 | 1 |
| 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 4 | 16 | 25 | 5 | 5 |
| 3 | 8 | 18 | 4 | 13 | 3 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 13 | 9 | 11 | 4 | 12 | 12 |
| 5 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 2 | 11 | 13 | 8 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
| Total | 8 | 18 | 9 | 15 | 31 | 34 | 47 | 56 | 31 | 30 |
| % Shots | 30.8 | 37.5 | 47.7 | 45.6 | 50.8 |
But Montreal's goaltending and shooting also took this opportunity to fall apart – Philadelphia's shooting percentage was more than double Montreal's. If Montreal had played like this in the first round, they would have had a quick exit.
