one of the first finals I will watch in years due to the fact I think this one will be super entertaining. Bolts haven`t faced a team, IMO, that can skate with them and can play with grit like the Avs, the Avs haven`t faced a team with a true #1 goalie yet, should be fun. Kadri injury however is massive. Should still be fun

My heart says Colorado...my head says Tampa.

Colorado has speed and high end talent/skill but has a couple of key injuries and goaltending is a major question mark.

Tampa flat out knows how to win ...experience and superior goaltending is a hard combination to beat. If Point comes back their chances of winning increases to likely.

Should be fun to watch

We can shit on the Lightning for two asterisk cups where they beat Dallas and Montreal, but this year after a normal full season, no cap shenanigans, going through Toronto, Florida, New York, and Colorado, if they win this cup you can't do anything but respect them for it.

Hedman has been good this playoffs, but not as sharp as in the past. Last couple of games he started looking sharper with his passing and decision making. If he gets things going then it will make TB that much tougher to beat. I really like watching the Avs and hope they get the Cup, but I have my doubts when you look at the goaltending situation. Vasi is just so darn good and such a clutch goalie. The Avs goalies are very pedestrian. Also, despite the Avs D being better than it has been in recent memory, the TB D has been stupid good this playoffs when it needs to be. Avs are going to have their work cut out for them. Cooper has his team on another level yet again for the playoffs.

Tampa will be the first team to 3 peat since the islanders in the 80s. I hate to say it and will root for the avs but this tampa team just knows how to win when it counts. Tampa in 6 games.
