Kuzmenko!
Avs have been fantastic all year tbf. Just hope Tampa get it done game 3 to keep it interesting.Haven't watched hockey for years but used to follow the Avalanche, back in the days of Patrick Roy, so glad to see them back in the Stanley cup!
Tampa have been awful in these last two games, their turnovers are under 10 level bad.Avs have been fantastic all year tbf. Just hope Tampa get it done game 3 to keep it interesting.
They did a job on NY, but this lot are class above
Was offside though.Man, this is a far lengthier review for an offside than any VAR check I have seen in football.
edit: It's finally called offside, but that linesman had premium seats to somehow make the original call as onside.
I have to say that's a rather pathetic display by Colorado tonight, especially coming from Kuemper when they have Francouz being a better goalie. I thought the series against St. Louis would have taught the Avs a thing or two.I do think the last game was more due to TB being bad than the Avs being far and away better and so it's good to see TB putting up more of a fight today.
Honestly, today was just a reversal of game 2 as the Avs just made some real silly mistakes. They were not as sharp with their forecheck aggression and ability to keep the puck in the offensive zone, which led to multiple odd man rushes. Kuemper was awful too and they should consider benching him.I have to say that's a rather pathetic display by Colorado tonight, especially coming from Kuemper when they have Francouz being a better goalie.

I’d never heard that before, gentleman’s sweep. Love learning new shit.We have a final on our hands.
As much as I’m rooting against the Lightening here, a sweep or a gentleman’s sweep would have been so boring.
Let's see... if Avs wake up and play as they have been, they could likely take the next 2 games.We have a final on our hands.

Apparently not in an immediate goal scoring opportunity which it absolutely was.Goalie without a mask = play is blown dead. Referees blew an easy call on the goal.
I was not sold on Kuemper after last game and after Hedman's goal tonight, but he really bounced back indeed.Deserved win for Avs and great goaltending from both sides today. Ultimately TB just ran out of gas.
Ya Kadri himself said he wasn't aware the puck had went in and assumed that Vasilevskiy made the save.Looks like that Colorado became increasingly more comfortable as the game went on, especially after the 2-2 goal from Cogliano. Despite the possibility of a lucky bounce for the team getting in the ropes, it was pretty much like one-way traffic for Colorado in OT. On Kadri's overtime goal though, it was the first time in 12 years that I was like "WTF? Did that go in?"

Yep.Ultimately the avs are just better. This is done
Tampa are dead. They're getting crushed again in the altitude of DenverNeed Tampa to take game 5 to make this a slightly interesting finals.
Us not having Point has turned our power play into somewhat impotence. He is the lynchpin.Tampa are dead. They're getting crushed again in the altitude of Denver
Fatigue is what decided this series
