I'm saying Bolts in 6.
Looking back at this thread, http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1846911 there are at least 31 board members who are satisfied. I would be one of them but now I want more.
Habs fan coming here with respect.
First of all, congratulations on beating the Red Wings. You guys were down 3-1 and weren't getting the usual hockey from your boys. That being said, huge comeback, huge goaltending performance.
Just wanted to pop in and say I'm really looking forward to this series. To be honest, I agree with Michel Therien's assessment that the habs are the underdog in this series.
If we look at the regular season, Tampa did not lose to Montreal once and trust me, it was a touchy subject in Montreal. Montreal, like Tampa, was in the running for the president's trophy, division title, conference etc. It was very alarming that the team couldn't pull out a single win against you guys. Why?
Well, for one, I love how Tampa plays the game. Great offensive talent, big strong defense and basically exciting hockey. They also don't goon it up and resort to any nonsense to try to win a game.
Don't get me wrong, I don't apologize for being a habs fan. I love my team. I'm just pleased that Montreal and Tampa are facing off because I think they are the 2 best teams for this series and let's be honest, last year's series did not reflect reality. The goal tending was suspect on your end and the Habs were pretty fortunate. This time around, Tampa is even better and Bishop appears to be healthy.
So best of luck and hope it's an entertaining clean series.

Hey come out of the East for me and win me money.
Thank you,

Bold prediction: in this series, Hedman shows Subban what it means to be the best defensemen in the NHL.Love the obnoxious Habs fans. Will be that much sweeter when we beat them. Hedman isn't even a top 30 D, and can't even sniff Subban's jock. Habs' D is lightyears better than the Bolts...
You're forgiven anyway.

I'm thinking Drouin is freed for this series with Morrow being scratched. Question is whether we go with 6 or 7 D. Would guess we would go with 6 D in Game 1 with Drouin and Brown in.
You're right. He'll show him a photograph of Drew Doughty.
Picked Bolts in 6, but have no certainty on that. This series will involve a lot of one-goal games, not a lot of separation. Montreal will trap, dump etc, and we'll have to use our speed to break through the NZ, to get to the slot. That's how simple it is 5 on 5. Also, if we go like 2 for 30 on the PP again, we might as well not even play the games. We won't steal this series with abymsal special teams.
Well, that definitely made me snort coke out of my nose. Er, coca cola. Will the picture in question at least have hearts around it?You're right. He'll show him a photograph of Drew Doughty.
Congrats from your florida cousins on the other side of the alley!! (yes I am a born ranger fan, but relocated to fort Lauderdale 20ya and have had panther seasons since.)
I might be blessed with a pair of tkts to come root for you guys ( I cant stand the habs they are awful fans when they visit us) , how is the parking situation? I wont have a pass, can you pay when you pull up?
Mods if you don't like this here feel free to move.
Cheers!
