The Montreal Canadiens are trying to get back into their Stanley Cup Final series against the Tampa Bay Lightning, and in the process do something that only one team has done in Stanley Cup Final history.
The odds are that they will not overcome their 3-0 deficit, but the Canadiens players haven’t quite given up hope of doing that, even if almost everyone else has. What they can do is prove to everybody, and perhaps even themselves, that they do belong here.
The series isn’t as lopsided as the goals scored, or the series score itself, shows.
