Montreal Canadiens - Tampa Bay Lightning

So, now we know. Tampa are way, way better than Montreal. Or, at least they were in the first game. I think the Habs played pretty well, but the Bolts were straight amazing. If all games look like game one, it will take some serious shenanigans from Carey Price to prevent this from becoming a sweep. It's just a single game though, so one can't take for granted that the rest will look like that. The Habs looked a lot better towards the end of their series against Toronto and especially Vegas, than they did in the first games. Still, after what we saw in the first game, there's only one way to go here. Tampa Bay wins!

In the traditional summary, my winners are:
