AVALANCHE TOUCHDOWN!

"I've never understood why someone would bother to memorize the RBI of some quarterback, or how many baskets he was able to sneak past the goalie."

Remember the Bolts started their last run 0-2, just sayin

Tampa is nothing to laugh at or take lightly, they are a very capable team.
If anybody can comeback from a deficit they can.
But the odds are stacked against them pretty deeply.
Only 5 teams in history have won the Cup 3 consecutive times.
Only 5 teams have come back from a 2 game deficit in the finals to win the Cup.

Vasilesky is one of the best goaltenders in the game. Leaving him in for the entire game did one of two things- he was forced to own the loss and it will either fill him with a resolve to up his game and he will be incredible or it broke his psyche and he will be a tomato.
We have a huge advantage at sea level, hopefully they didn’t wipe themselves out too bad last night and recover quickly.

We need to put Tampa down quickly, if we can win tomorrow night it will be a huge pressure off of CO.
Only 1 team in history has come back from 3-0 to win the Cup.

Game 3

Let’s go Av’s!

I think the out come of last nights game was about expected. Ya just knew TB was going to come out with more pep in their step, BUT I think the Avs still showed they're in it to win it. Besides, a loss only means that lifting the cup in Denver is now possible

In watching the game I think the ice sucks in Tampa and it tossed the Av's off of their game a bit. 90 degrees and 100% humidity is a poor recipe for crisp, hard and fast ice which suites the Av's style of play. You could see it in missed passes, failure to complete plays and overall poor puck movement.
I never figured it would be a sweep, interesting how they pulled Kuemper and had Francouz close it out.
