I thought Tampa Bay looked fearsome but it did look like the Red Wings were going to beat them. Sorry Red Wings fans.....
Now, Tampa onto the Canadiens, unfortunately, this TB Lightning team impressed me, they will have a good chance vs. Montreal if the Senators almost defeated them......
(sorry I forgot to add in “All” to everyone here)....
There’s the final buzzer....
Tampa looked strong. Montreal has that Michele Therrien discipline. It should be a great series.
I got about 75% of the bracket correct and a number of “how many games” except:
I messed up the Pacific West, I picked Winnipeg and Vancouver while of course, Anaheim and Calgary won. So, I’m content enough Calgary won.
The Islanders did okay, they’d been out of the playoffs for quite a few years so what happened to them seems to happen to a number of teams that finally get back into the post-season. It seems one of the NBC announcers alluded to the Islanders perhaps should have won it. I did not watch that series too closely.
