After Game 4, the Tampa Bay Lightning are able to lift the Stanley Cup over Montreal ice. They lead the series 3-0. Although it is not ideal to see an opponent celebrate a championship at Bell Centre, Jeff Petry kept the larger picture in his mind.He stated that the Lightning won't win the Stanley Cup. "You won't win four games by winning one game tomorrow. We want to win tomorrow's match and then deal with getting out of town and preparing for the game in Tampa.After a 6-3 Game 3 loss, the Canadiens are facing elimination. They made a lot of mistakes that led them to Lightning goals. This has been a consistent theme in a series where they've been outscored 14-5."We know exactly what we need to do, but it's all about execution. Executing under pressure is what it's all about. It's all about timing your plays. But we know how it's done, and we'll make it happen," Dominique Ducharme, Montreal coach, said. He said that any lineup decisions would be made Monday.Ducharme referred to Game 2's effort in a 3-1 defeat as "the best" that the Canadiens could offer in the series. This is a proof of concept that the Canadiens are not outmatched by the Stanley Cup champions. They are relying on this and the resilience that helped them to reach the Final, even a 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Round 1."We are here for a reason. We've obviously dug ourselves into a bit of a hole, but the mood is light right now," stated forward Josh Anderson. We have a job, and we will do our best to keep this going and fly to Tampa on Tuesday. We're all getting ready for tomorrow's game.Montreal could be able to benefit from a special break in the Stanley Cup playoffs schedule. Most games are played with one day rest. However, the Lightning and Canadiens series were suspended due to broadcasting conflicts.Petry stated that "It helps us give us a kind of reset and refresh yesterday." "Obviously, today we were working with a few special teams and getting on to the ice and meeting this morn." It was a great day yesterday to reset, refresh, and be ready to face this challenge head-on.It's been nearly impossible to overcome this challenge. After losing the first three games, only one NHL team has won the Stanley Cup again: The 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs. However, the New York Islanders (1975), Philadelphia Flyers (10 (2010) and Los Angeles Kings (2014) all rallied for wins in the series.The Canadiens would have to win against the Lightning team, which is 14-0 in playoff losses since the beginning of the last postseason."Well, we have nothing to lose at the moment. Anderson stated, "Everyone's going to have everything ready for tomorrow night. We're far from done. Take it one at a time, and be ready to play tomorrow night.
