That takes commitment, which is something Gallagher touched upon as well following Friday's on-ice session at Amalie Arena.
"It's always a fast-paced hockey game whenever we come in here and play these guys, so for us to be prepared for that, we have to get our skating legs ready," explained Gallagher. "It should be fun. It should play to our strengths a little bit, too. We need everyone. I feel like if everyone shows up and does their job, we have a shot."
With that in mind, the Habs' game plan ultimately comes down to a few key points.
"We know they have a lot of talent. We won't hide that. But, it doesn't intimidate us. We like those types of challenges. That's what we're going to try and show," said Julien. "You can't play on your heels, but you have to be extremely good defensively. Because of the way they play, you will get some chances offensively if you do the right things. As most coaches would say, it's about playing the right way. That's what we need to do, really play the right way against these guys. If you don't, that's when they make you pay."
