1-0 Montreal going into the second on Brendan Gallagher's second. I'd love to see him hit twenty for the year.

Ryan Malone with a boneheaded penalty and of course he's ticked. I really feel we're watching a rivalry fostering between these two teams. Which I wouldn't have expected to see a few years ago. It seems to have started around the same time the Lightning poached Cedrick Desjardins and Guy Boucher. But now really seems to be taking flight.

Will the Habs clinch tonight or are they going to need the help of the Capitals?
