It's sad to lose on three weak goals after an overall brilliant effort.

At least you get more cheering time in the second round. Tampa is in tough against Jersey. Goaltending is more or less equal though you'd give a slight edge to Brodeur based on his experience versus Habi. The Lightning just needs to use their speed and youth to try and run rings around the Devils old team.

Some nights they shut the door after several goals not letting the opposing team get the backbreaker so his team at least has a shot at getting back into the game. Going back as far as the '80s, they are simply the best two goalies of the last two decades and you'd be hard pressed to find a better goalie than them even right now. They've got the right attitude to rise up in the important games and the playoffs to dominate giving their teams a far better chance than what they should have. If it wasn't for Roy in 1986 and 1993 the Canadiens would not have won those two Stanley Cups.
