I hope they keep Francouz in net for the rest of the series.. Kuemper looked like junk since game 1

If the Avs are going to give up this many quality chances from point blank range it won't matter

gotta make some big saves on occasion. Kuemper not doing that. Francouz looked good v Edmonton. I think he's better option. I agree they are giving up more odd man chances.. Rantanen blew coverage on a 3 on 3 that was bad. Toews not having a good game tonite

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Guess it was a bit premature to call Tampa Bay’s demise after Game 2. They find ways to bounce back after bad losses.

Yeah, it's like TBL last game.

Ferraro brings up an interesting point though, with Francouz coming in it raises the goaltending question for Colorado again in a way it doesn't for TBL.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Also it isn't a TBL game until Hedman and Sergachev are punching dudes from behind while protected by the refs. Pretty sick of those cowards.

 

[Little Psycho]

this sucks

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

First time any team has smacked Colorado around in the playoffs.

 

[kingsboy11]

We'll see how the Avs bounce back after smacked around for the first time this whole playoffs.

Tampa Bay isnt out of this series until Landeskog has the cup raised over his head.

 

[Schrute farms]

Makar is amazing with the puck and fantastic to watch. But man sometimes he's allergic to actually playing defense.

As inconsistent as Vasilevskiy has been in goal during the playoffs, Tampa still has the advantage in goal. This guy might flip a switch at any moment and post a shutout, or do something like allow only two goals in the next 100 shots.

According to commentary, every game has been a turning point in the series.

 

[BringTheReign]

Colorado bounced back after the Blues pushed them around pretty good in two games in that series. There was one game they choked a lead, and an earlier game in the series where the Blues just totally neutralized them. The Avs found a way.

I think the most concerning thing is their injuries keep piling up. Burakovsky is a big loss when Kadri is already out.

 

[kingsfan28]

Watching some of the clips today, ESPN has totally dropped the ball with their camera coverage during the finals. It was embarrassing watching them try and prove the play was offside on the Avs first goal with only 4-5 camera angles, none at the blueline. But hey, Ray Ferraro close up are always on point.

I love Makar like everyone else, but personally I thought Josi got robbed of the Norris. He was fantastic with 10 more points on a lesser team.

Biggest surprise for me with the awards was McDavid not winning the Ted Lindsay

 

[shuchukfan]

Did he get hit in the mask by a Tampa stick right before the goal was scored? Watching on a phone, so I couldn't see it clearly. If so, isn't that considered goalie interference?

Mask came off and play not whistled dead. Lightening scores about 0.5 seconds after mask is off. Must be unreviewable?

 

[AbsentMojo]

Kuemper about a foot off his line on another soft goal

 

[AbsentMojo]

Nachuskin is always dangerous out there.. lets get this guy.. heard he's a bum but he looks good to me

 

[kingsboy11]

OMG a flashback to Patrick Kane OT winner

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Yeah Nuke is noticeable every time he’s out there. If he were on Blake’s wish list I wouldn’t argue.

JMFJ is now just one win away from the Stanley Cup!!!!
