Theodore was not very good in game one or two vs B's but when their back was against the wall he caried them, he stopped 97 of the last 100 shots he faced. I think Tampa in 5 but would not be surprised if it went longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think the Habs will allowed themselves to swept, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think the Habs will allowed themselves to swept, though.I dont know how much hockey you all have watched but watch the crowd in MTL when they start the game. That is by far the best and loudest crowd in NHL. They will be loud and proud so it is important for Lightning to get off to a good start. MTL coach will get last change and will have his lines matched the way he wants. Tampa may sweep them but they will get some good playoff experience in that building at the very least.

I hate Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
