Lightning in 4. Utter revenge for last year. Just run them out of the building.

The Following User Says Thank You to CorsiHockeyLeague For This Useful Post:
Bolts have a couple of key injuries to Hedman and Stamkos, and it's pretty unclear if either of them will play early in this series. That could be a problem for Tampa Bay, especially with Columbus feeling good after their win. I suspect that Columbus takes game 1, especially if Hedman is still out, and questions about Tampa Bay will rise again, only to be thoroughly crushed as they rally to take 4 of the next 5.
Tampa Bay in 6.

The Jackets are like the Islanders in that they have a game well suited to winning in the playoffs but I have to think the Lighting are a lot more amped up to face them this year. I will take the Lightning in 6.
This will be the second time these two teams will play each other in the playoffs. It was just last year in the 1st round, the BJs swept the series 4-0 in a stunning upset.
