The Tampa Bay Lightning has an opportunity tonight to accomplish something that has been one whole year in the making. If the Lightning can focus and channel their Game 2 selves, they could end this series early and send the Montreal Canadiens packing.
They say that sweet revenge is best served cold, and what better way than on the ice? Last season, the Montreal Canadiens unceremoniously ushered the Tampa Bay Lightning out of the playoffs in the First Round, completing an unpleasant sweep.
Now, before the Lightning can start their celebration and start preparing for the next round, there is something they need to focus on…winning tonight’s game.
