Stanley Cup Finals: Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Colorado Avalanche ( Avs lead 3-2)

[AvsFan29]

It's going to be a great series

 

[x Tame Impala]

This is the toughest matchup for either team since 2020. What an awesome Final this will be

 

[JWK]

Poor Corey Perry, he's gonna lose his third straight Stanley Cup with three different teams.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Alright, should be fun!
going with Avs in 6

The last time ABC aired the Stanley Cup Final was in 2004 The Lightning won that Cup

I think the Bolts finally meet their match. Avs in 6.

 

[AvsBeacon]

I've watched the entirety of both series. If Tampa strings together this game 6 effort consistently the Avs have no shot. Our goaltending simply wouldn't have stopped Tampa's efforts the way Shesterkin did. That being said the Avs have the better skaters and are slightly more skilled with the puck. I feel blessed that we get to play the two-time defending champs. If we manage to win this series it will truly be deserved.

Hopefully it's a close and good series. Avs in 7.

 

[Rschmitz]

Best SCF of the last decade?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Tough to decide

forwards- I’d say are pretty even , I think I like tampas depth a little more

Defense- edge to Colorado, more explosive

Goalie - big edge to tampa

Overall I think avs have looked like the best team this year…. I think tampa has shown some cracks. Biggest thing for me is how much avs goalies can compete with vassy

I’ll go avs in 7

 

[VinikToWinIt]

The promised series!

 

[Davenport]

After the story about MacKinnon being a control freak, there is no way I can warm up to him or the Avalanche.

 

[TomppaKoo]

Tampa is going to trap the game to death and after long period of boredomness. They win 4-2 by Kucherov's goals on questionable penalties against Avs.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

I got the Bolts easily. Mainly goaltending but also having been here before and they’ve dominated without Point so getting him back should make it easy. Bolts in 5 if Point is back for game 1, in 6 if he’s out for the first few games.

 

[TriFF51]

As badly as I want to see the Avs take it. It's not happening.

 

[Rschmitz]

Avalanche are the most talented team in the league, like Stamkos said.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Avs in 7.

 

[JTeller97]

One team's going from playing Shesterkin to Darcy Kuemper and the other is going from playing Mike Smith to Vasilevsky. I'll take Tampa in this one, should be one of the best finals we've seen in some time.

 

[killa3312]

I fell for the eastern hype. In the end, a Tampa team that slept through the regular season comes out of the East. The Avs won't need more than 5. There's no Makar or MacKinnon in the other conference

They slept through the regular season and still ended with 110 pints, lol. That should tell you something. Tampa Bay stopped caring about the regular season years ago. They could be a dominant regular season team if they wanted to. 62 wins and +103 goal differential ring a bell?

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

This is going to be an unreal matchup, one for the ages. I don't think any team is stopping Tampa Bay, especially not this close to the Cup. My guess is Tampa takes it in 6.

 

[Avsboy]

Avs in 6

 

[Garbageyuk]

THE AVS ARE GETTING SWEPT. QUOTE ME WHEN IT’S DONE.

 

[KingAlfie11]

I go with Tampa in 6, Vasilevsky is the best goaltender in the entire universe, Kuemper will be the downfall for the Avs he can't match what Vasy brings!

 

[Il Stugotz]

My pick is Avs in 6, but I’d pick Tampa if it goes 7

 

[abo9]

Tampa in 5

What are key injuries?

Tampa missing Point
Colorado missing Kadri?

Rosters are a wash, but Vasilevskiy is MUCH better than Francouz and/or Kuemper

One of the Avs goalie could fo hot at the perfect timing but I dont see it
