You're saying he's playing a too bad hockey not to be injured?

What if Killorn has been wearing his skates on the wrong foot for his entire life and never knew about it?
Would explain a lot tbh.

IMO Bolts are getting better. They're starting to neutralize Colorado's speed. They seem to play better with their backs against the wall. They proved they can win in Colorado while under a lot of pressure. This is like a marathon.

I think Killorn is hurt, maybe it's the leg he broke last year. All these games do add up and maybe his leg is just giving out. Hagel and Colton don't really have an excuse though, they need to do more. Colton was tied for the team lead in goals earlier in the playoffs, dude has been invisible since.

This core has seen everything a team can see, gone through every situation possible in hockey. Down in series and won, up in series and lost, forced to win games at home and on the road to save their season, major injuries to overcome, bad calls to overcome, you name it this team has seen it. Tons of pressure packed must win games on top of it, this team is as unrattle-able as a team can be.

Since 2006 the Stanley Cup has been won at home only 6 times:
- 2006 Carolina
- 2007 Anaheim
- 2012 Los Angeles
- 2014 Los Angeles
- 2015 Chicago
- 2021 Tampa Bay
9 times the Cup has been won by the road team, and it's been a major trend since the Penguins went back to back starting in 2016 as road teams have clinched the Cup in 4 of 5 series (not counting bubble playoffs since everyone was "on the road").

Just watched the replay and it will take time for me to loosen my sphincters...
Few minutes to play and there was lot of time left on the video...
I was pretty sure that the Avs would equalize and that it would end in OT !
So well done Bolts !
This team is admirable for its resilience
Before the finals I voted Bolts in 7...you never know...period after period...game after game

The longer a series goes, the better Vasy plays.
Leaf fan here again. I have backed off a bit lately, because of business issues. But I certainly have kept up to date on this series.
I am 100% into women, lol. as far as I know, but I have a huge man crush on this Jon Cooper guy.
I mean where does this guy come from?
Definitely the coolest dude, I have ever seen in the NHL, and we as a league have had a few cool ones.
And his results? Incredible.
What was initally sad for me as a distant admirer of Tampa hockey, was that the Bolts used to play very much like the Leafs play now.
Dynamic, brilliant passing, almost slap shoting the puck to each on the fly, 10% faster than anyone, anywhere.
Then suddenly, Cooper tightens things up, as the Leafs should have done and might very well do, at some point.
The Idynamo in me, was disappointed, but I noticed something, the Bolts won a Cup lol. Then another.
So this series of Tampa versus Colorado, again, for me, is historic and epic at the same time.
A coach who invented slap shot passing and dynamism,that he surely came up with, in his own mind. While he was plotting and scheming while he was in Norfolk.
That same coach acquired Ryan McDonagh and tightened up his circus, which must have befuddled the entire NHL, cause they were still trying to figure out his first moves.
Now he is up against Bednar, who is stubbornly hanging onto the first version of Coopers playbook.
This series is unbelievable. So good. Colorado is like the Bolts were, dynamic as heck.
The Bolts are like a ship of experienced pirates, unwilling to give away their bounty.
nhl dot com has done a great job btw on the series, just tons of good articles and insights, tons of it. Rarely impressed by them, but they have done a stellar job.
How you guys doin in Tampa, you all must be really happy to having a game six at home?
I am kinda thinking of going to the game, are tickets readily available.
I love random crazy road trips and this ain't so random.
Lets face it, your backs are still up against the wall, but man, you dispatched my Leafs beautifully.
I really want you guys to win, Colorado is a beautiful squad and Joe Sakic is pure class. But.... I want the pirates to have the bounty one more time.

Lightning are 2 wins away from 3-peat history. So proud of the fight this Lightning team has shown these playoffs. Last night, that crowd was insane! Especially after each time they tied it up.
Regulation goals given up
3 goals = Game 1
2 goals = Game 3
2 goals = Game 4
2 goals = Game 5
Lightining have given up 9 total regulation goals during 4 games (1, 3, 4, & 5) this series. Plus, 4 of those 9 total goals given up came on PP.
3 things needed rest of way
* Win special teams
* Sink scoring chances
* Vasy continue to be Vasy
Lightning have a path to pull this off, especally if they can get on one of their scoring streaks.
Go Lightning!!

But your initial stat is, I don't wanna say fake, but strange.
Game 2 is a game of the series. xD xD
I know we want to forget it, but it still counts.
I’m starting to wonder if Colorado is starting to get tired to. They swept two teams sure, but they play at a blistering pace. It’s gotta catch up to them at some point.
Why are Avs fans complaining about the officiating is much? Palat trip that put us on a 4 on 3 was similar to the Cirelli trip on Makar that gave them a 5 on 3
The trip on Makar was slightly weaker.
Sure stuff goes uncalled, but it goes both ways and I've never seen a fan base whine so bad

I pointed out these "Real stats" to show that Lightning have contained Colorado's high powered offense 4 outta 5 games during regulation. If you'd ask Lightning fans, or anyone for that matter, before series. If Lightning would be happy if they gave up 9 total regulation goals to Colorado's high powred offense 4 outta 5 games. They'd have taken those stats in a heartbeat. Same goes for Colorado's fans, they wouldn't believe they'd only score 9 regulation goals in 4 outta 5 games.
I showed this stat because if Lightning can continue this, they increase their chances a bunch. Colorado gets major credit for winning both OT's, but Lightning have a path to pull this off. Especially if they can win the special teams battle these next 2 games.
Go Lightning!!

Byram literally tackled Paul around the 6-8min mark and no call. Blatantly obvious. Dave and Phil were pissed.
The only thing they should be complaining about is the forces of nature didn't ping pong a 3rd goal in for them.

The amount of crying at Coop by Avs fans is hilarious. 1. It’s a clear penalty having too many men, and 2. It was Corey Perry that altered the refs to it. Coop had nothing to do with it.
