StnCld316 Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Tampa Bay Lightning defeated New York Islanders by a score of 1 - 0 to finish the best of 7 series 4 - 3. Montreal Canadiens will now play Tampa Bay Lightning beginning Monday evening June 28th in Tampa Bay for the start of the 2020/2021 Stanley Cup Final best of 7 series. Tampa Bay Lightning are the defending Stanley Cup Champions as they won it last year in 2020 so they'll be looking for a repeat. Montreal Canadiens last time in a Stanly Cup Final was in 1993 when they won the Stanley Cup. Montreal is 12 - 5 and Tampa Bay is 12 - 6. Montreal's advantage is they have a young fast skating team and they create multiple opportunities around the net. Tampa is a team with a few older aging players that are not as fast. It will be interesting to see if they can keep up with Montreal's speed. If Montreal's Goaltender Carey Price stays as hot and agile as he has all the series leading up to the Stanley Cup Final I don't see anyone beating him. Montreal in 6.

albundy1089 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I appreciate this thread. As a kid growing up in Detroit during the Gordie Howe years, I haven't really thought about hockey since I moved south in the 80's, except for a brief fling with the Thrashers. It's rekindled my interest to go look up the games. Montreal in the finals, who would have thought? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a 3 - 1 series lead and they just could not get the job done. Montreal came back and won 3 straight knocking the Leaf's out of contention. Montreal has been on fire ever since then. If they keep their momentum going they are going to be tough to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StnCld316 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 In Game #1 Tampa Bay Lightning defeated Montreal Canadiens by a score of 5 - 1 giving Tampa Bay the first leg in the best of 7 series final of 1 - 0. Game #2 will take place in Tampa Bay Wednesday evening with Tampa looking to take a commanding 2 game lead and Montreal is looking to even the series at 1 game a piece heading back to Montreal for Games 3 & 4. Montreal needs to get to the net a bit more and create scoring opportunities. They won't win a game against Tampa Bay with less than 20 shots over three periods like they had tonight also they turned over the puck way too many times creating many opportunities for their opponents.

StnCld316 Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 It's going to be interesting to see what happens after the play-offs are said and done. It does not look very good for Montreal Canadiens at the moment. I remember in 2011 when Vancouver Canucks made it to a Stanley Cup Final and lost. The Fans went berzerk and tore the City of Vancouver apart with burning buildings to the foundation and torching police cars burning parked vehicles, smashing windows and looting. They better put the Canadian National Guard on High Alert because Montrealer's are more vicious than Vancouverites when they lose. They'll be jumping all over the place after being cooped up inside for almost 18 Months from COVID19 lockdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
