Reveling in yesterday’s 4-1 Tampa Bay Lightning victory against eternal foes the Montreal Canadiens will never get old. It always brings me back to Jon Cooper’s incendiary words from the 2015 playoff run (as quoted by the Montreal Gazette):
‘’We look back and his numbers against the Tampa Bay Lightning are very pedestrian compared to the rest of the teams,’’ Cooper told Smith. ‘’He, to us, is not a mental block.’’
Whenever the Bolts beat Montreal, I want to get “Carey Price is not a mental block” tattooed over my heart.
