Don't you dare go jinxing us like this. But yah, should hopefully be a great series. I think the question lingers though about how well Montreal's game translates to the playoffs when physicality picks up and penalties are fewer. And I think it's a legit one.

I've seen stats posts by others that penalties aren't fewer in playoffs. I don't believe it though. Eyeballs don't lie. But if they are fewer, that's gotta help us, especially since our pp has been ass lately.

I think the Lightning are favored by way too much. It’s silly.

Why Bettman is so dug in on keeping this ludicrous playoff seeding baffles me.

Both Stars announcers and head coach do a weekly on the radio station I listen to. None of them like it and intimate nobody else in the league does either.

They will never go 1-16 because of travel. They really need to go 1-8 in conference though. Go back to 4 team divisions and have 4 winners, 4 wild cards. Or keep it 2, doesn't matter but you would need to have every team play everyone in their own conference the same number of games.

So I would say the tighter the game is called, the better for the Habs regardless of how special teams are doing.

Could be right. Should be physical vs tb. We can hold our own. Last game vs them was a war.
