SCF G5: Tampa Bay @ Colorado - COL Leads 3-1 - 8pm (ET)

Cooper whined and got what he wanted

I do

That's why I picked Avs in 6. Colorado is a clearly superior team but you need to factor in the refs.

I think you're right, it's going to be the Avs in six. That said, it's weird the Avs need every call to go their way in order to win. They should be good enough to get over the odd poor call. Both clubs have reasons to complain about the reffing.

If Tampa takes this series you can start erecting some kind of monument for Vasilevskis

You really think the Compher penalty was the right call? Why didn't they call a penalty on Sergachev when he clearly slashed Makar on a clean breakaway? That would've made it 5 on 3. He CLEARLY slashed Makar.

Don’t talk to me about penalties on Makar to make it a 5 on 3

You’re my new favorite poster.

I honestly hate both teams, but I finally realized that the Avalanche fan base may be the most obnoxious I've ever endured. And I've lived in Montreal and currently live in Vegas!

I dont get the avs anger at the refs when multiple trips in the 3rd could of gone on them or the interference hit on palat i think? without the puck

Well, if you only understood context. The refs put the whistles away in the third, both teams got away with stuff, but what about the first 2 periods? watch them again and you will see there was two different games officiated tonight, end of story. League gets that extra bank now$$$$$$

Don't order it yet. Call off the meetings.

Did somebody say "normal food"?

Love Gump. Precious.

Amen, brother. Also nice to see Canadian talent shining. And, with all the young prospects on the horizon, I sense a wonderful decade.

Makars amazing, people with the hot takes (and I know it's just hate hot air) that he can't play defense are out to lunch.

That must suck to pay $2k+ for a ticket expecting to see a cup raise and then Palat happens..

This is why I would never pay that kind of money. Especially for a Game 5.

Seeing the Stanley Cup raised live in the arena would be a great experience.

But a $2000+ experience? Sitting in the nosebleed sections?

It doesn't seem worth it.

Regulation goals given up
* 3 goals = Game 1
* 2 goals = Game 3
* 2 goals = Game 4
* 2 goals = Game 5

If Lightning can keep above up, they can pull off the impossible. They have to sink chances and win special teams.

Go Lightning!!

Lots of warm champagne bottles right now in Denver.

This series is most fun I have had watching hockey in a long time and I'm not even fan of these teams!

You’re likely right, but it is also possible to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Who knows if your favorite team wins another cup in your lifetime..

I'll take this bet. See you in Denver.

He dominates the ice - God bless that kid. Conn Smythe is his to lose..

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Cooper whined and got what he wanted

Avs can't expect to get away playing 6 on 5 forever

 

[soothsayer]

Oh nooooo!

 

[Chrysalis99]

The Av's have owned so much of the play and to not win it tonight has to be sneaky bothersome. Bit of a psychological advantage for the Bolts and going home to boot. Av's have got to be a tad discouraged

 

[DownIsTheNewUp]

They forgot about Drej

God I hope they can keep him around. That would be super depressing if that's the last "forgot about Drej" post.

But if you are loaded to the t!ts with $$ and want to see the most amazing trophy in professional sport awarded and raised, it would be a fine way to spend $2000.

Ryan mcdonagh is gonna be a coach one day.

The usual Avs fans that post actually are super weirdly always cautious and worried about their team to the point of self deprecation lol

obviously after this game there is going to be whining about the refs and all that but like still nothing compared to some fanbases

 

[Lightningdraftslast]

Will the mayor of Denver say she hopes the Avs lose game 6 so they can raise the cup at home?

 

[TheNumber4]

I bet the Avs have been doing that early substitution trick all year and no one noticed until these last 2 games.

You should move to St. Louis. undeniably the most obnoxious fan base in every sport (even football and cricket where they don’t have a team)
