Nah, I think Tampa was just extremely worn out (on top of losing some good players). There's no way prime Lightning lose to this team.

They were definitely thin on scoring talent. They were a one line club offensively the deeper they went into this series. Really against the Rangers too.

The difference of talent and athleticism through the roster in Colorado’s favor was very evident in this series.

Colorado did a great job of pressuring them, disrupting them and forcing turnovers tonight. They generated so many chances that it’s incredible this was a 2 - 1 game. Colorado’s 3d period was a demo on how to win a game protecting a one goal lead.

it was a great series though. The 2 overtime losses put the Bolts in a deep hole.

Last year’s Tampa team with the Coleman line absolutely wins this series.

They’re missing a lot of other pieces too. And Point.

Congrats to the Avs for getting it done.

But it sucks they have to celebrate on the road.

Nothing you wrote is wrong, but my response was to how you can win with an offensive juggernaut team with shitty goaltending. I don't agree. Like I wrote already, Tampa was just really beat up.

One thing I do feel very good about though. Every time the devils faced more offensive teams, they seemed to always do really well and sometimes even outplay the other team. It was the physical teams they struggled with.

LOL yeah they def dented it

WTF happened to the bottom of the Cup?

 

[Camille the Eel]

Well it was a great playoffs this year. The Rangers staying in it and Tampa knocking them out kept me involved. The finals series was then more interesting than most years.

Going to miss hockey now. See you all in October (with a visit around the draft). But Heck, it’s practically July 4th.

 

[guitarguyvic]

Is it just me or has the cup been damaged quite frequently in recent years?

EJ: "Got to Denver twelve years ago, we were dead last. Four years later, dead last. Five years ago, dead last..."

But there's no lesson in that, right?

 

[Patrik26]

Know what sucks? No regular season hockey for the next 3 1/2 months.

Colorado was a lot better defensively tonight and in this series than I thought they were. Team defense, breaking up clearing attempts, clogging up center ice, creating turnovers and counter attacking. That’s how you compensate for mediocre goal tending too. Their game in this series was quite balanced.

Takes time!

Classic! I love it!

 

[Bleedred]

is this the worst goalie to win the cup?

Worst goalie? I don't think so. Probably not nearly the worst.

Worst performance in the playoffs en route to the cup? It's VERY close.

 

[Sgt Brylin]

In fairness, he's not playing up to expectations. While Makar is blowing everyone out of the water, MacKinnon is doing his best Jonny Gaudearu impersonation while Landeskog, Nichushkin and Lehkonen does most of the heavy lifting at forward. He sure is coasting a lot of shifts for a guy that speaks as loudly as he is about winning and competing.

Looks like I jinxed it. My bad.

 

[glenwo2]

Proof that if you get enough fire power just mediocre goaltending will work.

Problem is that in our case, we couldn't even get "mediocre" goaltending.

Lesson is draft Makar

Idk, they have really impressive forecheck - that 3rd period was crazy

Tampa was gassed which made it look even more impressive.

Yea I meant more the 2nd. Kuemper was reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bad this playoffs.

we also had absolute dogshit pk for awhile and pp all season.
