This is an easy one. Tampa in 4. I really think Tampa/Montreal would have been a much more entertaining series. Columbus is a mediocre team that backed their way into the playoffs.

Sounds dead on... As soon as they win four that is.

Unfortunately for CBJ, TBL are rehashing their lines for tonight... Might even go with other goalie. Mostly because Kutch is suspended. Looks like they also going to shelf Hedman and use a fresh of IR Strolman. All the changes can obviously spell a tough night for Columbus. TBL finally acknowledge that the 2-0 hole is not of their own doing, but effectiveness of Columbus against them. This mindset can further the tonights scale to their side.

Howdy,

If someone had offered me a bet that the Pens and Tampa would be 0-fer in the first three games I'd have lost A LOT of money...

Damn.

Can you imagine what the bastards that bet on the blue jackets in Vegas are going to be making??

Completely shocked. After watching them dominate against top teams this year that’s the only to describe it. 

 

If they lose to Columbus. Let’s hope they don’t follow Nashville and put up a president trophy banner on opening night.

I'm completely surprised. Yet another reminder of the beauty/frustration of sports: you just never know.

Well, at least the big three got about a point a piece for the 2019 playoffs, I guess it could have been worse.

This is kind of amusing.
