Welcome back to the daily Hockey Inside/Out newsletter, where the Vegas odds have the Canadiens as a big underdog in their first-round series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
"Whenever you’re a young team and you’re trying to win your first playoff round, I feel that usually takes you to the next level. We’re going to have to do it against a very experienced, good Tampa team. What a great opportunity. How far does that propel us if we can get through that?"
"I don’t think it’s going too far to suggest that the start of these playoffs is generating more buzz than at any other time since 1993. In fact, I’d argue there’s more hype this year than there even was in ’93."
"Habs fans hoping to cheer on their team at outdoor watch parties advertised as free are now having to pay after resellers snapped up limited tickets and listed them for sale on Facebook."
