Even if the Bolts win this, I don't think the series is over remotely...

Habs been mostly outplaying them which is weird considering Tampa was the much better regular season team (statistically)
That and the fact that Tampa at home with the series lead screams complacency for me.

The Habs were the better team and outplayed the Sens for the most part last round, but all of their wins were by one goal. Their offence has dried up at the worst time of the year for some reason.

It will come down to their mentality. How they react being down 2-0 will say a lot about the core of this team. They've played much better than that, but that's hockey.

The only way they're winning is if Price gets 4 shutouts.

Yep. Shooting at like 3.5% or something I read. Sh% regression... it's a thing. Unfortunately playoffs don't give you much time to regress, they need to hope it happens next game (or in the 3rd period here).

Doesn't matter with the penalties and all that, this was the expected outcome, I said it before the first game, they will not beat Bishop.
 
You didn't watch the last game did you?


1 good call out of like 6. Refs redeemed.

I have. They had countless opportunities to put it to bed and they did not succeed. TB played badly last game and they did not take advantage.

Price is a better goalie than Bishop. What do you mean by "they will not beat Bishop"?
 
So... yeah all these penalties are hilarious looking shown back to back on the highlights.

Maybe after the first 2 or 3 times they should stop randomly cross checking and punching people who aren't even involved in the play?

Now hopefully the Wild don't allow 3 goals in the 1st today.

Agreed. Hopefully they allow 4 or 5.

Right. It's not like one team is getting called for ticky tack shit and not the other. If the Habs aren't cross checking dudes and running blatant interference they might not be in this mess.

Montreal has no offense, who's going to score on Bishop?

Pacioretty is still seeing double, and everyone else either shoots the puck wide, or directly into Bishop's chest.

Because it's always been this way against Tampa and Bishop, they shoot a lot and nothing goes in. Last year it was different because he wasn't in the net, but I knew it'd be no differently than in regular season. Price being a better goalie doesn't make the Habs better at beating Bishop.

Yeah I called the Habs last year cause Bishop was out. This year though it seems the offence has just disappeared though and Carey has carried the team. Isn't a bad way to play since Hasek took the Sabres to the finals but Tampa has two freakin good lines as their players really developed and it's not just Stamkos. Habs did control the play during the early part of the second but that Stamkos goal just sucked the life out of them. I think they're done this game barring a Leaf-like Tampa collapse. The series won't be a sweep though.
