EC Playoffs Round 1: Tampa Bay Lightning vs Montreal Canadiens (Canadiens win 4-0).

[Senator Clay Davis]

Gallagher is a hell of a player. Guys like that are who should always be targeted in later rounds. Always seems to be the hardest worker on the ice, always gets such good position in front. A team like the Oilers could badly use someone like that.

It just goes to show how much of a different team Tampa was without Bishop in net. They were bottom three in the league last year without him (for much of the year), and probably would have been in a similar situation this year.

Montreal did look impressive, but Tampa is the weakest team in the playoffs by far.

Tampa looked awful more than Montreal looked good. Even without the biased reffing they probably still win. Tampa was that bad.

[Gaskal]

I hereby curse TB to never win another cup until Calgary finally gets theirs. So there.



#### you Lightning.

Absolutely...

I think the Bruins win but it will be an exciting series.

Undoubtedly. I forgot who tweeted this, but this kind of reflected my feelings on the matter:

Gudlevskis probably thinking he had a better chance of beating Price when he was with Latvia.

Montreal was mediocre. Scored a bunch of goals against an awful goalie and got tons of breaks from the refs.

Montreal-Boston would be a great playoff series.

Losers blame the referees.

Habs played decent and the Lightning were horse Would have been a much tougher series with Bishop in net, he had their number this year.

They still need to be better. The top line needs to score more, they need to be better in their zone.

Bring on whoever is next.

Montreal was the better team, still played mediocre and got tons of breaks from the refs, that's a fact.

Unlikely that happens against a better team next round. Not to mention Montreal is going to be rusty.

How come no one ever claims refs were biased for the team they want to win?

Oh wait...

[Senator Clay Davis]

Montreal-Boston just has to happen. And Iginla needs to fight Bourque.

I wanted the Habs to beat the Lightning and I'm claiming the refs made a lot of favourable calls towards Montreal......... next question....

[Hockey_Ninja]

Boring Sean Monahan ‏@boringmonahan Joe Colborne said it's going to be hard for Tampa to come back against Montreal. I said Joe, they're eliminated and he already? I said yes.

[dino7c]
