The Tampa Bay Lightning has had a long road to where they are today. After being taken to seven games in the First Round by the Detroit Red Wings, the Lightning will now head to the Bell Centre to go head-to-head with an all-too-familiar enemy, the Montreal Canadiens.
There is no denying that the Tampa Bay Lightning has a lot to prove in this new series; especially given the circumstances in which they were forced to exit the playoffs last season. The one thing that we know for certain is that this is not the same Tampa Bay Lightning team the Canadiens faced last season.
