Crabcake Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 8 minutes ago, DoctorWhom said: I had a feeling Tampa would steal 1 to force at least game 6. But I doubts Avalanche are going to let another opportunity to clinch slip them by. Idk. If I was an Avs fan I’d be terrified. All the Lightning need to do is win one home game to force a Game 7 where experience and grit usually win out over inexperienced talent. They’re obviously still in a good position to take the Cup but tonight was a golden opportunity and they didn’t keep the boot on the throat long enough.

DoctorWhom Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 If it was 2-2 instead of 3-2 I get they should be worried. But they've been the better team for most of the series. Dropping 2 or even 3 straight is really just crazy for a team as good as the Avalanche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm obviously biased but I don't know if I agree they've been better. Their only scoring in regulation the last two games have been on flukey deflections, or the first goal tonight with Vasy just dropping the puck. Which, sure, those count, but you can't count on those goals. Outside of game 4 OT, I think the Lightning have been better in the last 3 (very marginally so in the last two). My money would still be on Colorado if I were a betting man, but I like Tampa's chances at home and then would you bet against Vasy, who has been lights out since game 2, in a game 7?

Crabcake Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 The Avs just won a Stanley Cup with an average goalie who didn’t go nuclear in the playoffs. That alone shows how good they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Now the Avs have clinched the cup more times in the state of Florida than Colorado. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalktoChuck Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 What an amazing series that was. The fact that Tampa made it to (and almost won) three straight cups is a feat that doesn't get the credit it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorWhom Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Of course I had to be reminded Kroenke owns this team too. He's proof karma doesn't exist if you're rich enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
