This is a 10* CONFERENCE SEMI-FINALS PUCKLINE GAME OF THE YEAR on the Canadiens.

Anyone who had a play on the Islanders on the PUCK LINE last night likely felt pretty safe going into that contest, but it quickly got out of control and snowballed into an 8-0 blowout win for the Lightning.

After four straight very tight, competitive affairs, we finally saw a lop-sided decision.

So is that going to happen here for the Canadiens? I'd agree that Montreal could have been in line for a big blowout and letdown here if it had in fact won Game 4, but the way in which it collapsed and lost will now actually swing those problems onto the host side tonight.

It's the Knights who are now in trouble of having a letdown here after their late third period goal to push to OT and their eventual game winner in the extra period.

Montreal will now be desperate here to avoid going down in the series and will be out to atone for its Game 4 letdown.

No blowout here for either side. This one is going to come down to the wire again.

The play is MONTREAL on the PUCK-LINE.

Good luck, NP
