Avs in 6, Tampa's good but the rest the Avs have had will show in the next couple of games. Hockey should end no later than May realistically April, same with basketball. All the pro seasons have gotten way too long.
Tampa in 6. Game 1 was gifted to the Avs by a soft goal, and an even softer call resulting in the 5-on-3.
Bolts in 6 , Vasy let em win that one for sure . Rebound control was off (he's usually soaking all that stuff up like a sponge), he was off , let in a softie or 2 . Coop will make a few adjustments (good coaches do that ), they are bringing a hell of a lot of speed for sure , left wing lock time ? Or heavy for check ? Pointe needs another game to settle in as well .
Yeah, that was ugly for sure. Not sure there is much hope for Tampa but they do find ways to fight back.
The Avs still haven't got Mackinnon scoring and are playing without their #3 scorer Kadri. Sounds like they may get him back. They have room to improve, but game 2 was a clinic.
They might just sweep this one. Going no longer than 5 if Tampa can get over that mind fuck they just suffered.
Tough call for coaching staff to keep a player like Point out, but if he's not 100% or close to it, he hurts more than he helps. Also throws off rhythm team had established without him in the lineup. Hope Kuch is OK.
How many of these guys are playing with injuries?! LOL I know the story oh so well. Banged up from a digger racing motorcycles and banged up from hockey injury. Manage the pain and keep moving.
Yeah, it's crazy the list of injuries, many requiring surgery you hear about after the season is done. Tampa looked like Tampa, still sticking with AVs in 5.
A little surprised CO pulled that one out after the way they played in the 1st. They were very sluggish. I think that comeback showed some grit that will serve them well going back home for game 5.
Bolts pulled off a vital win in hostile territory last night. Back home Sunday to try to even it up at 3 each.
