Lightning vs Canadiens: Best-of-Three Thriller

0:00The Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadians are deadlocked at two games a piece in their first round Stanley Cup playoff series. It's been a wild ride with massive hits, plenty of goals, fights, and three overtime thrillers so far. The bolts hit the eyes for practice Tuesday ahead of a crucial Game 5 Wednesday night at home. Coach John Cooper admits it's tough to soak in the fun during the games themselves. He's too deep in matchups, line changes, and game plans to just kick back and enjoy. That relief only hits after the final buzzer when they've got more goals on the board. Still, Cooper gets a kick out of the chess match between games and being right there watching world-class NHL talent shine. With nine straight post seasons under his belt, he occasionally pauses to marvel at the skill level from the bench. Now it's a best-of-three sprint, and Tampa regains home ice edge. Defenseman JJ Moser says it all boils down to sticking to their system, outworking the habs, no matter the crowd. Puck drops as 7pm inside Benchmark International Arena, expect the intensity to crank up as these teams battle for series control.
