The CH and the Lightning are currently locked in a very close game.
A true playoff game. In fact, both teams have a good chance of facing off in the first round.
Unsurprisingly, both teams started the game with a lot of physical play.
It feels like the playoffs between the Habs and the Lightning

Lane Hutson isn't the type to bring a physical presence to the game.
However, he isn't ruling out the idea of dropping the gloves one day. That's what he told reporters this morning. After all, he's already done it in the WJC, even if it isn't necessarily his game.
Lane Hutson, when asked this morning about the physical style of play between the Canadiens and Lightning and the possibility of him getting into his first NHL fight: “If the game calls for it… I sure hope not. But you never know what could happen.” #Habs

For now, the talented defenseman is focusing on picking up equipment.

A little later, he almost made my text look outdated.
Corey Perry and he were at each other's throats for a bit…

In the second period, the officials and linesmen started to have their hands full.
100 penalty minutes were handed out in the second period alone. Josh Anderson and Declan Carlile accounted for 16 of those 100 penalty minutes. Here, Carlile took a beating.
Josh Anderson threw so many right-handers at Declan Carlile that he was begging for a left!

– Obviously.
Darren Dreger: Re Devils: I look at Jamie Langenbrunner; clearly has history and I'm sure a decent relationship with Marty Brodeur; Brodeur is going to be very involved in how this process unfolds in hiring the next General Manager – Ray & Dregs (4/8)
