The Montreal Canadiens are moving on.
After a back-and-forth series, the Canadiens ultimately prevailed over their Atlantic Division rival after another game that went down to the wire.
Despite only recording nine shots across the contest, the Canadiens snuck past the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7 for a 2-1 win.
Every game in the series was decided by one goal, including four in overtime.
The win sends Montreal to the second round, where it will now take on the Buffalo Sabres.
It is the first time the Canadiens have advanced past the first round since their Stanley Cup Final run in 2020-21.
Here's a look at some of the reactions on social media following the conclusion of the entertaining first-round series.
