Montreal will have a better chance than Dallas, but Tampa is so strong. I’ve got Tampa in 7, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Montreal wins this in 7.

I see a repeat of what happened last year

Tampa will win in 5

Montreal may steal another game to make it go to 6 but I just cant see it.

Tampa is just to good right now its scary

Offense, Defense, Goaltending, Coaching

Everything is just clicking for them and its scary to watch

The last time I saw this was when Pittsburgh went back to back in 2016 and 2017

Montreal reminds me a lot of Tampa in 2015. More talented and experienced team should pull through though.

Tampa in 6.

think montreal wins game 1 in ot, tampa wins the next three, habs get another win before tampa closes them out.

been pretty cynical about the habs run because some of their fans on here are just the worst, and if you give them an inch they take a mile. but I do think montreal is good enough to put pressure on tampa. both teams are going to play tight but tampa has experienced and skilled offence.

good time for cirelli to step up on tampa and anderson to step up on montreal.

Cirelli actually has not been that bad with Tampa

4 goals and 5 assists and a +6. Thats not bad for him. Now for someone/s who do need to step it up I argue Palat or Coleman

As for Anderson yeah he next to gallagher really needs to step it up

So basically the same scenario as last year.

We could definitely use a little more offense (especially goals) from Coleman. I think Palat has been fine. His 5on5 numbers are similar to last year's, but he's stuck on the dreadful 2nd PP unit instead of the 1st like he was last season.

Tampa in 5, there no way we win though I’ve said that about all 3 previous matchups

I honestly like this Match-up for Montreal. While Tampa are more skillful than Vegas, they play a similar game. I expect a very competitive series where every game ends up being a 1 goal game with a tense last 10 minutes.

I said Montreal in 7 (mostly because of Bias), but I personally see this series going 6 or 7 games.

Tampa in 6 or Habs in 7.

Tampa in 6

Tampa is just too good

But I hope Montreal wins

if the habs actually win steve dangle should get hazard pay

Tampa in 7, but I wan't the Habs to win super badly. Tampa is just ultimately looking like the better team though but I'm all for a Habs underdog story.

This could go either way
