This is going to be a real good series though, both teams are fast and speedy and it will make for some good games

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

The Lightning acquired Lindback to be the starter. Now is his chance. I want Tampa to win because I want the highest 2nd round pick possible for the Vanek debacle. Other than that I really don't care about this series.

 

[Comeds]

It looks like its 3 on 2, that doesn't seem fair.

I think its a pretty evenly matched series but the Lightning have had the Habs number this year so I am not so confident. Both teams have some injury issues.

Go Bolts! Gotta root on local boy Tyler Johnson

 

[Gooch1034]

I am taking a gamble and starting Lindback in a couple Playoff Challenges. Go Bolts!!

[higgyfan4]

GO HABS GO!!!

Oh yay, CNBC has the CBC feed.

 

[olympicoscar]

Boom boom 2 goals.

 

[Slimpikins]

Damn that was a quick response by Montreal.

 

[Comeds]

Nice way to answer Habs

 

[dash]

comeds might be surprised to learn that I'm cheering for the Habs in this series.

/still bitter from 2004

 

[Comeds]

Wow, you must be reeeeaaaallll bitter to cheer for the Habs!

 

[dare2be]

Go Stamkos

 

[higgyfan4]

Gettin chippy out there. I'm sure Gudas will be head hunting soon...

 

[dash]

Gudas is an easy guy to dislike...

 

[higgyfan4]

Good to see Gallagher back on the bench after taking a puck to the throat.

 

[Judge Fudge]
