Norm Szcyrek and Jonathan Rebelo hosted the latest HabsWorld podcast providing a recap of the Habs/Lightning first round series.

The second round of the 2014 NHL playoffs is upon us with our beloved Habs facing their archrival Bruins for the 34th time in NHL postseason history.

Before we completely shift our focus to the second round and the Boston Bruins, we wanted to take one last moment to reflect on the Habs’ Round 1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Habs made short work of Tampa Bay, finishing off the sweep earlier in the week.

Having too many healthy forwards is a luxury that the Habs haven’t had much in recent years but with Travis Moen’s impending return to the lineup, they find themselves in this situation heading into Round 2.

For the first time in quite some time, the Habs find themselves waiting to find out who their second round opponent will be.

While it looked to be a done deal by the end of the second period, Tampa Bay woke up in the third and gave the Canadiens a run for their money in Game 4 on Tuesday night.

The first three games of Round 1 have been strong for the Habs who now find themselves a win away from a trip to the second round.

On Sunday night, the Habs looked to take a stranglehold in the series as they hosted Tampa Bay in Game 3.

The Montreal Canadiens weathered the early storm brought on by the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday and went on to dominate the second game of the series, earning a 4-1 victory.
