The Tampa Bay Lightning In Control Heading To Game 3

05/06/2015 at 9:05am EDT

from Martin Fennelly of the Tampa Tribune,

It took two wins this playoff series — seven wins, if you count the regular season — but the Lightning have rattled le Club de hockey Canadien into a whimpering, whiny mess.

To be continued?

A Tampa Bay sweep might be a public service. I mean, Canadiens pouty game misconductor Brandon Prust threw his smelly elbow pad into the Lightning bench near the end of the Lightning’s 6-2 Game 2 rout in Montreal. If this thing went seven games, Prust would be down to his skivvies, or less. No thank you.

The naked truth: The Lightning appear to be inside the Canadiens’ heads.

To be continued?

Just last season, on the way to being swept by the Canadiens, the Lightning put up a brave face as they headed to Montreal down 0-2. That lasted 11 seconds into Game 3, when Rene Bourque scored for the Habs.

Now the skate is on the other foot.

On to this Game 3.
