They went 6-3 in regulation and 10-1 in OT. They only loss 4 games the entire playoffs. Even if you change the OT record to 6-5 with win loss alternating they still are in control of all the series.

Then there was that illegal stick call on McSorely. I think it was the Habs stick boy who went to check the LA Kings stick rack.
As to how (or if they did before the measurement) the Hab's knew the stick was illegal there are different versions.
McSorley claims the Hab's took the King's stick rack into their dressing room to measure them.
According to the article linked below the Hab's trainer at the time said he noticed it in the warm up as did FFA's favorite player (Guy Charbonneau) and they both thought it looked illegal.
But the truth (and I am really surprised FFA did not mention this) - it was all part of the secret fix by the NHL to hand the 1993 Cup to the Hab's.
Vegas better be on their toes - Gary Bettman has something up his sleeve.

I'm sure someone on the King's equipment staff would not have allowed the Habs to take the stick rack into their dressing room and measured them, and I've never heard the McSorley claimed that.
As your knowledge of all things hockey is omniscient then McSorely must never have claimed it (except he has)
Actually with your delusional paranoia about the Hab's being the pinnacle of evil I am surprised that you aren't aware of all their nefarious schemes (of course you will say there are too many for you to keep track)
Excerpt from an interview with McSorley posted on th LA Kings official website
McSorley said that the Canadiens knew he had an illegal stick because they wheeled the Kings' stick rack into their locker room.
"I think that [former Kings coach] Barry Melrose, [former player] Luc Robitaille, [former trainer] Peter Demers, different guys, have basically said what happened: We all know that they pulled the stick rack into their locker room," McSorley said.

Bottom line he was still playing with an illegal stick. His argument was he should have got away with it. If he was really smart he could have set them up and played with a legal stick in the guise of the illegal one. Think about the irony here. McS a cheater calling the Canadiens cheaters.

I don't believe it...if that happened there would have been an investigation by the NHL...the Kings would not have allowed it and the Canadiens wouldn't have tried doing it.
According to Carbonneau a lot of players had illegal stick back in those days. Some on these 2 teams had illegals stick. The only one they knew for sure was McSorley because the curve was too obvious. The non written rule was to change your stick towards the end of the game. When McSorley did not they call up on it (he had not followed the non written rule). You can still find this interview.
Yes I believe what you have said, lots of illegal curves and changing to your legal curve for the third period...the story I don’t believe is the Habs taking the Kings stick rack into their dressing room, if the Habs had done that they would have sawed 3/4 of the way thru them or put some sort of termite type of substance of them...when the Habs cheat they go all out.

Guys, FFA is just messing with us. I was messing with him for a bit but decided we were going around in a circle.
On the other hand, Gary Bettman, apparently, did say "wouldn't it be nice for two American teams to play for the Cup". He was obviously thinking of the large U.S. TV audience, for example, if New York played L.A. Right now he is probably hoping for a New York Islanders and Vegas Golden Knights Cup final.

I think what Darts is bubbling up is that both Martin and Komarov continue to be valued members of an elite team playing again deep into the playoffs, with the irony being that neither was deemed good enough contributors to be retained by the Leafs who still can't seem to figure out the proper roster mix to make any significant dent in the playoffs at all.

Costanza just being Costanza. Yes, he is Captain Obvious. We're all familiar with his antics. Bet he is now combing posts looking for typos.
Those capable of reading and thinking at a grade 5 level knew exactly what Darts was saying.
It's not a surprise to any of us that gcostanza couldn't figure it out.
