Lightning played the Habs way to lightly this game, and took winning for granted. If Habs get the first goal lead in game 5, this could end up being a series yet, and the Lightning will be on their heels.
You don't want to #### with momentum swings in sports. It can change the direction of the tide instantly. Habs got at least some sense of confidence now in at least winning one. Game by game is all they're thinking.
I know a select group that hates size and truculence on here would have hated it but that rumoured trade with Columbus that could have landed Dubois and Anderson for the Flames would have been a real franchise changer.

We heard Anderson for Monahan but I don’t think there was a rumor where it was Dubois and Anderson. Dubois obviously still has upside but he was atrocious for the Jets.
Anderson certainly would fill a nice hole and would likely thrive playing for Sutter
I just tuned in for the overtime, and OF COURSE Tampa started it with a powerplay.
Well it was an incredibly easy call to make, high stick in the face and cut him open pretty good. That's a 4 minute call every time. The biggest surprise was that the refs missed it somehow and one of the linesman saw it and made the proper call.

The Habs biggest hurdle will be finding a way to steal game 5. If they can, a bit of panic may begin to set in for the Dolts, as they have to return to Montreal with a ton of pressure on their shoulders to avoid a game 7. If it does go 7, the pressure on them will be glacial. Habs still in this thing!
If Montreal had a dominating win maybe there would be a sliver of hope...Truth is Tampa hit 3 posts, played sloppy (for them) and still almost won it.
They will be highly motivated to win the cup and have friends and family allowed to participate in the celebration. Game 5 will be a multiple goal Tampa win IMO.
It is pretty crazy how Montreal keeps surviving though...first in the regular season with loser points, (thanks Koskinen) then all the playoff OT's where they were one shot away from being eliminated.
