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.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’re missing a lot of other pieces too. And Point.Last year’s Tampa team with the Coleman line absolutely wins this series.

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.

I think they broke the Cup
LOL yeah they def dented itI think they broke the Cup
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.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.
Takes time!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?
Worst goalie? I don't think so. Probably not nearly the worst.is this the worst goalie to win the cup?
Looks like I jinxed it. My bad.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.
Problem is that in our case, we couldn't even get "mediocre" goaltending.Proof that if you get enough fire power just mediocre goaltending will work.
Lesson is draft MakarEJ: "Got to Denver twelve years ago, we were dead last. Four years later, dead last. Five years ago, dead last..."

Idk, they have really impressive forecheck - that 3rd period was crazyProof that if you get enough fire power just mediocre goaltending will work.

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