Looking toward the Tampa Bay Lightning series: A round table -
Matt Drake, Jared Book, and Patrik Bexell join the podcast for a round table ahead of the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Montreal Canadiens. The first thing that is being discussed is the physicality of the series and the fact that Montreal looks to be in a better position to handle it this season compared to last season’s series against the Washington Capitals. One of the key themes early in the podcast was the uncertainty around Victor Hedman. With Hedman away on personal leave, the panel felt his status could become one of the defining factors of the series. The expectation was that if he is available, he will play in Game 1, but the real question is what version of him Tampa gets. If Hedman is close to full strength, he remains the best defenceman in the series and stabilizes everything for Tampa Bay. If he is limited physically or has to play reduced minutes, Montreal may be able to exploit the Lightning’s depth beh
