A lot of morons on the interwebs dismissing this series as a sweep.

I mean it could be a sweep, but history in the dead puck era would say this could be a serious fight for Tampa. They haven't played a truly meaningful game in nearly a month, Columbus has a goalie who could steal a series and if they are skating and playing off of the boards, they can score with Tampa for a while.

I think Tampa will win but it wouldn't shock me if it's in 6 or even 7 games.

Not to mention the fact that Tampa have been some serious Playoff chokers since their Cup win.

So just to illustrate the importance of strong defense and goaltending:

Every team in the NHL except 1 who had a positive goal differential made the playoffs. The one who didn't, Montreal, was only eliminated in game 81.

Sounds to me more like the importance of scoring more goals than the other team. 8D
