Tonight's the Canadiens vs Lightning live stream, which means almost time for some to drink from lord Stanley's Cup. For Tampa Bay, this is a chance to continue to build a dynasty by repeating as champions. And for Montreal? Well, they haven't hoisted the Cup since 1993. So we're betting they're excited.
The Bolts are well aware that they're the villains this time around the rink, as the Canadiens have been constant underdogs throughout it all. And this series is no different: Habs coach Dominique Ducharme is set to miss (at least) the first two games of the series after testing positive for Covid-19.
Here's how to watch the Stanley Cup Final 2021 online from anywhere — and how to catch it as it goes from streaming to broadcast TV.

A win for the Canadiens would be their 25th in franchise history, but it's been 28 years since they last won it all. And the Lightning are probably one of the worst teams to have to break history against.
Tampa's Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov are among the top scorers in the league, and Andrei Vasilevskiy is a goaltender in a league of his own.
