Well rogue I am a habs fan also, but i don't think that they are going to win against tampa unless they get goals from there first and second line. They need to get their powerplay going also, Price can stop goals but he can't score them.
Tampa has had the best all season long against the habs, hope it changes in the playoffs.

The Lightning have struggled on the power play as the season wore on. I think Montreal is probably the favourite in this series against Tampa. They are both fairly even across the board except in net. Montreal has a pretty good edge there, though Bishop has proven to be no slouch either.
But, I think you also factor in that Tampa just finished a tougher than expected 7 game series against Detroit, you have to feel that the Habs should win this series, probably in 6 games.
The only way Tampa wins this series is if Stamkos scores like he is capable of. He had no goals in the first round against Detroit.
I picked the Rangers for the Pokerstars hockey promotion though, so that's where my rooting interest lies. That said, this should be a very close series.
