"Flirting With Disaster" - Molly Hatchet

"...Speeding down the fast lane,
And honey we're playing from town to town.
The boys and I been burnin' it up,
Can't seem to slow it down.."




"Champion" - Barns Courtney

"Champion. I can take a beating, ah,
Rise again, we're into the jungle, until the end.
I can live forever, I'll rise again
Keep rising up..."



"All My Life" - Foo Fighters

"All my life, I've been searching for something,
Something never comes, never leads to nothing.
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close,
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope..."

Point is in, let’s go Bolts!

Will Tampa have the legs (after their 3 long seasons) to keep up with the pace the Avs' play? I can see Vasileski playing great and still losing games by 3 or more.

Go Bolts! May Colorado's Stanley cup hopes crumble to the bottom like a ..... well, like an avalanche.

Go Avs

Publix is vastly overrated

I don't think the 'Lanche are a team to let extra rest stop them from winning tonight

Kuemper shutout incoming.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Point being healthy is unfortunately bad news for the Avs. That creates a pretty significant mismatch down the middle right now with Kadri being out.

 

[Hedmonster Bolt]

Kuemper shutout incoming.

rude awakening incoming for the Avs

Outscoring the opposition has been effective for both teams so far, I expect them each to try to continue that trend

 

[The Macho King]

A victory would be the preferable outcome.

 

[God King Fudge]

Goaltending is going to be the key in this series. Shocker. Kuemper is (IMO) the weakest goalie Tampa has played outside of Campbell. Vasy is head and shoulders above every other goalie Colorado has played. Freebies are over for Colorado.

Will be interesting to see how COL handles this. Toughest test over the last 3 years for Tampa.

A victory would be the preferable outcome.

*for my team.

I think that one team will have to score more than the other if they want to win this game. Should be interesting who does it.

Agreed. One thing I learned at a young age in nearly any sport I played, was outscoring the opponent is always a sure fire way to win.

Traumatic even.

LETS GOOOOOOO LIGHTNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep.

Not only do the Bolts have the edge in goal, now they also have the edge in forward depth.

But it is what it is. Hopefully the home crowd is a 6th skater and Kadri comes back for game 3.
