Yeah, I've been assuming it'll go at least 6, if not 7, but wanting it is a different story at this point, especially up 2 games to none.
As much as I want to watch this team as long as possible, I want them to finish this even more. |

The longer the series goes, the more it will favor the Lightning. The Avs need to finish them off as quickly as possible.

Really? They looked like shit against the Rangers in the first 2 games. Lethargic, slow etc. Got their ass's kicked and embarrassed. And then they clicked.
Like Daface, I started following when I moved down here. Still don't understand hockey like football. I know what a "B" gap is how to block or exploit it. No clue on hockey's minutiae. The old timers down here say its a pattern. Look like shit and then turn it on later. Stamkos looks old to me this year. A lot slower. We will see. |

The biggest reason it was so surprising to me is they didn't look bad at all in game 1, besides Vasilevskiy in the first period. They skated well and it was a really fast game. I expected them to at least compete last night... to have a different plan to slow down the Avalanche, much like the Blues did. Hell, they completely shut down the Panthers and I kind of wish I could go back and watch that series now (I missed most of it) to see what the hell happened. I was completely expecting a ~2-1 or 3-2 game... and I still expect Vasilevskiy to go back to being a brick wall at some point and not giving up relatively simple goals to Josh Manson and Darren Helm... and at least giving Kuemper a little work. |

Game 2 was a lot closer and from what I remember, even kind of lucky for the Rangers to win it.... between those two games, my thought was at least show up in game 1 and you would have had a chance to be tied. **** around in game 1 though, and a couple unlucky bounces and you're down 2 games to none. And that's of course even more so with the Avalanche... Vasilevskiy was quite a bit better in the 2nd and 3rd periods of game 1 and a lucky bounce here or there and they win that game. **** around in game 2 though and you don't stand a chance (obvious enough to say for most SCF games, much less against this team). |

Some insane saves be Kuemper and Vasy, followed by an on edge knuckle-puck thing that goes in.... not that it counted.

That 2nd TB goal was pretty. Game on!
