Well, for the first time in 28 years, the Montreal Canadiens are back in the Stanley Cup Final, and well, they, unfortunately, got off to a start reminiscent of that fabled 1993 Final against the Los Angeles Kings, losing Game 1 of the series 4-1. Going back to Tampa for Game 2, Montreal couldn’t find the net reliably in a 3-1 loss. Going into this series, the Tampa Bay Lightning were expectedly seen as the favourites, and well, haven’t disappointed to start.
La série se dirige à Montréal.
