Much of the discussion of this Atlantic Division finals series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens will center on the "rematch" narrative following the Habs' 4-game, first round sweep of the Lightning a season ago.
Game 1 is Friday at Bell Centre, and the Lightning and Habs are very different teams from a season ago. The Bolts managed total regular season dominance over the Habs in 2014-15, outscoring them 21-8 and out-attempting them 247-167 with five wins in five games.
The Lightning enjoyed an on-paper advantage vs. the Habs last year, too, however.
