Tampa Bay Lightning - Montreal Canadiens

Is this it? Will the Bolts seal the deal? Or will the Habs avoid the sweep, and live on to fight another day? One thing that speaks for the Habs, is that extra day of rest. They are playing their top 4 d-men really hard, and those d-men are starting to show wear and tear. And I really, really think they don't want to end their cinderella run with getting swept, and at home ground at that. Also, they are making some lineup changes, and getting Romanov in, and Gustafsson out could be a major improvement. It just hasn't worked out for the latter. I expect nothing less than a brave final stand from the Habs. But that's what I expect it to be. I just cannot ignore how good the Bolts are. When they play well, they are on a whole other level. When they don't, Vasilevsky steps in a steals the game. Can Montreal win this game? Sure they can! But my expectation is that we will see a Stanley Cup champion crowned tonight. Or should I say extended? Either way, my prediction is, Tampa Bay wins!

In summary, maybe for the last time this season, my winners are:
