TB played a great first period. Colorado is fortunate to be one down. 

Mackinnon needs to make an appearance here. He is a ghost. The ice looks terrible there. How many players on both teams have lost their edge and fell almost on every play. 

Edit: Kadri just said the ice was garbage.

Absolute BS goal. You hit the goalie in the face with your stick, his mask goes flying off and then you are allowed to score to still score? 

It was the puck that hit him, not a stick

Jeez. TB has got to stay out of the box.

 

[falguy]

Oof. Darcy. 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

The hockey equivalent of a seeing eye single.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

This is a good game.

Only way the Bolts can win is to melt the ice with the Florida heat. 

 

[Grahamburn]

Oof. Darcy. 

Shoot it from everywhere.

My liver can’t take this 

 

[kupcho1]

Is it just me, or is ESPN sound tonight terrible? It keeps dropping out, and every once in awhile there's an annoying clicking sound. Worldwide leader my behind

 

[Courtjester]

Refs swallowed the whistle that period for both teams 

 

[Capella]

If Kuemper is playing well there really isn’t many ways the Bolts can win this series. Avs are so good. 

 

[Zegras11]

this is kinda insane

 

[Zegras11]

insanity over

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Great play to end it. 

 

[Courtjester]

Nice!!!!!!

 

[falguy]

Nichuskin is going to get a pretty good raise this offseason.

 

[Bill Brasky]

oh great, now we’ll be reviewing too many men next year

 

[Zegras11]

oh great, now we’ll be reviewing too many men next year

what's the big deal here? You've been doing this for decades.

 

[Capella]

oh great, now we’ll be reviewing too many men next year

I pray not, even if it was my team who ate it. Mistakes are part of the game, these refs are all incompetent, just factor that into your enjoyment metric and let’s move on.

Corey Perry potentially losing in five games in the SCF three years in a row is ROUGH.

Think it’s over tonight but sure hope I’m wrong.

I jumped, O my brothers, and I fell hard but I did not snuff it, oh no. If I had snuffed it, I would not be here to tell what I have told.

Tampa PP has been so lethal the last two seasons and is now totally useless in this series.

Let's get things nice and sparkling clear. This sarcasm, if I may call it such, does not become you, O my little brothers. As I am your droog and leader, I am entitled to know what goes on, eh?

Lol honestly it’s not a reverse jinx. They are 1-17 in the series on the PP. Colorado has been the better team most of the series, especially on special teams.

Well, if you must have it, have it then. We go around, shop crasting and the like, coming out with a pitiful rookerful of money each.

Is Cooper the most likable coach in the league?

Now then, Dim, what does that great big horsy gape of a grin portend? 

 

[Capella]

Great series

more ooof

 

[Capella]

Great game, great series, great teams. What an awesome team to root for. 

 

[Courtjester]

This has been fun, but man, it seemed the refs really wanted to make up for calls in this one. I love the Avs, but there is no way I would pay the $$ those fans paid to see this.

Ref crying is so lame. It was too many men the other night and it was too many men tonight as well.

There wasn’t the other night. There obviously was tonight

Weird series.  Everyone saying COL is so much better (and they probably are more talented) but 2 of TB’s losses have been in OT.  Outside of the 7-0 COL and 6-2 TB game it’s been an awesome/close series.

if it goes to game 7 I’d probably give TB the advantage due to their championship experience.

In a weird way it kinda reminds me of the BOS/GS series.  BOS was younger and more talented but wasn’t ready for the moment yet.

Tampa won because Colorado lost Palat with 6 minutes left. No other reason. I don’t know why fans want to blame refs all the time instead of their team for screwing up.

If you look at the nerdy analytics Colorado has been the better team most of the series, especially on special teams. But, Tampa has Vasy and Colorado’s goalie kinda sucks and they are both part of the teams so here we are. If I were picking I’d still say Colorado but killing the Bolts isn’t going to be easy. I’ve never really seen a team this resilient.

I only watch hockey in the playoffs so my hockey IQ is low but some of the saves the TB goalie makes are insane.  Fun to watch

Yea he’s just incredible. When he’s done he’ll be talked about as one of the best ever. 

 

[Moonlight]

TB seemed to have the most energy in this game, it will be difficult to do three games straight.

 

[Grahamburn]

Doubt.
