GDT: SCF G2: Lightning @ Avalanche | 6 PM MT

[Avsboy]

I've been told by the advanced stats crowd that it's actually the other way around. This is the raw footage. Games are played inside computers and then CGI creates the broadcast we see.

Otherwise how would you explain Cale Makar? He's just an algorithm with all the cheat codes.

The universe is a hologram. We are all really just projections based on Roblox

 

[Ncit3]

The ice in Florida is going to be awful given the heat there, which will slow the Avs down a lot more than what Tampa can, and might be the biggest advantage Tampa has.

Ah the old Vegas tactic

 

[Raucherhusten]

Fire Bednar!

I'm DEAD serious.

No, i'm not.

Go Avs.

 

[niwotsblessing]

I hope we all enjoyed that game last night, it may be the last one in the Ball Arena until next season.

 

[niwotsblessing]

Alex Newhook- assists on the first two goals, great passing with Burakovsky on Nuke's PP goal, started the breakout on Manson's goal, played a much better overall game last night.

 

[Pokecheque]

That was a phenomenal performance.

Did not appreciate Tampa going full goon in the closing minutes, the refs for the most part kept the peace.

 

[avsfan09]

Kuemper shut out, you ok there @nammerus ?

At this point it’s very clear that guy is not okay.

 

[The Shermanator]

Oh yeah, @The Shermanator? Or something like that...

I ain't no Canuck fan.

Bro what are you talking about. We're about to smack these fools
.

Just wanted to remind everyone of my post before the game.

 

[ASmileyFace]

I am still in utter disbelief

Best game I've ever watched. Complete and utter domination.

 

[missionAvs]

f*** boyos. Amazing game and I'm paying my penance now with this nasty hangover haha. Completely worth it.

 

[Snow Arc]

 

[missionAvs]

That's ridiculous. Has there been a more lop-sided shot map before?

 

[Gatorbait19]

That was the loudest sporting event I’ve ever been to. Absolute bedlam in the Can last night

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team play a perfect game like that. Tampa had virtually 0 sustained pressure all night

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Yeah, I’m not proud of it, but I had to peace out from his posts when he kept bitching about Manson over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over again.

Yes, never go full goon!

The most pressure Tampa got was when they got 3 face-offs in the Avs zone in quick succession. Not from any real offensive pressure mind, just from a dump-in that Kuemper gloved, and then the puck going out of play a couple of times in the span of a few seconds. And then it was over.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Didn't he get one in Anaheim?

Yes, he was on the 2007 Cup winner with Avs legends Teemu Selanne & JS Giguere.

 

[katfude]

I woke up still smiling. (and still a bit buzzed)

Those tickets cost me an arm and a leg, but I got to witness one of the most dominant games in Stanley Cup history.

 

[RockLobster]

Dude looks like he saw a ghost.

 

[Golden Foppa]

Then the Avs win the cup at home in front of this amazing fanbase.

It would be so much more cost effective for the Avs to win in it in Tampa. It's cheaper to get a roundtrip flight, hotel room for the night, and a ticket to a game at Amalie Arena. For the cost of a nosebleed at Ball Arena you can sit in the first 5 rows in Tampa.

I'm saving myself for the clinching game. It was hard not to go last night, but if Tampa staves off elimination a couple times money will get tight with how expensive tickets are in Denver.

The likes of last nights game will most likely never happen again , ever , all things considered.
A goalie we have no faith in gets a shutout. Top scoring forward not playing. The guy making $850,000 takes over the game. Veteran snipes. Defense unparalleled . SHG and on and on and on.

So, Games 3 & 4.

The best part is when we heard the lamentations of their women.

 

[Avsavsavsavsavs]

I still can't believe how incredible Darren Helm has been for us, please resign him for 1-2 more years let him play it out in Colorado.

 

[Richard88]

It's crazy to think that the Avs scored 7 but that they could have had many more goals with so many narrowly missed chances, like these for example:

- Landeskog whiffing on a backdoor play from Mackinnon, and later hitting the top edge of Vasilevsky's pad on another cross-crease pass;

- Manson clocking the left post through traffic;

- Burakovsky hitting the bottom edge of Vasilevsky's blocker and going away from goal instead of creeping into the net;

- Nichuskin being robbed by Vasilevsky's fully outstretched glove.
