It does seem too low at that price. The thinking must be Tampa should win game 3, stopping the momentum, then hold home in Game 4 also. Then we'd have a tied series with 3 games remaining. Tampa is home favorite -175 range for game 3 which is equally ridiculous odds seeing how the series went so far..... also based on Tampa "must win" game 3

Tampa 3 unanswered following NYR 2-0 lead, oh well, let's see if Tampa opens 175 range for game 4.

Tampa looked better in the comeback. Almost as if NY is now tired from being red hot

C`mon Oilers, show some heart tonite .

Hope NYR can light their pilot again. An Avalanche Lightning final wouldn't do it for me.

Agree, tired of TB .

Although coach Jon Cooper would be surprised if Point (leg) played in Thursday's Game 5 versus the Rangers, the 26-year-old forward has yet to be officially ruled out, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

NYR needs to character build tonight, take back this series.

hotcross · 06-09-22, 10:20 AM

It feels to me this is gonna end in Game 6.... whoever wins tonight, also wins game 6

Otters27 · 06-09-22, 05:23 PM

Lightning going to win this 4-2 I think

mr. leisure · 06-09-22, 06:32 PM

It's been a game 7 type of year so hopefully NYR can pull off the upset next game in Tampa.

Nice for the Avalanche, resting up and recuperating while awaiting the EC finals outcome.

Point could be game-time decision for Lightning in Game 6 against Rangers

TB / COL should be a great finals .

Finals start Wednesday PM in Colorado.

As much I would have liked to see the Rangers make it to the Cup Finals, I think we really are getting the two best teams here and that should make for a great Finals. I still like Colorado but you can't count out Tampa Bay.

Otters27 · 06-13-22, 06:52 AM

It will be a good one. Can't believe Tampa's defense after being down 2-0 in game 3

Kadri, Cogliano could play for Avalanche in Stanley Cup Final

Colorado 'hopeful' to have forwards against Lightning after hand surgery

ENVER -- Nazem Kadri and Andrew Cogliano could play for the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Final against the Tampa Bay Lightning starting Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; ESPN+, ABC, CBC, SN, TVAS).

The forwards are back on the ice after each had surgery for a hand injury sustained during the Western Conference Final against the Edmonton Oilers.
When asked whether Kadri or Coglaino had been ruled out for the start of the best-of-7 series, Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said, "Not yet."
"They both skated [Sunday] morning. Without sticks."
Kadri left at 1:06 of the first period of Game 3 after he was boarded by Oilers forward Evander Kane. Kane received a major penalty and was later suspended one game. Kadri has 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in 13 games this postseason.

hotcross · 06-13-22, 11:52 AM

Well I'm really undecided on this one. Looking back at Tampa in the last 2 Cup wins, the opponents were Dallas and Montreal... much weaker than what Colorado has on their roster. But the goalie matchup is far in Tampa's favor.

If Colorado wins, maybe they begin a new dynasty run of their own.

mr. leisure · 06-14-22, 07:59 PM

Not even sure who I want to win ?

Hoping for some close , competitive games .

Checkerboard · 06-15-22, 06:38 PM

Game one here we go... mile high hockey.

mr. leisure · 06-15-22, 10:49 PM

Good , exciting 1st game .

OT winner for the Avs .

The Avs sure weren' t rusty came out with three 1st period goals .

jrgum3 · 06-16-22, 11:29 PM

Even though Colorado played really well game 1 and took it to Tampa Bay I think I gotta side with Tampa Bay in game 2. They fought back when they could have easily gotten blown out in game 1. Obviously that means nothing when you lose but I think this will be a zig zag series so I'm probably going to back Tampa Bay at plus money on Saturday. I am waiting to bet it but I think Tampa Bay is the play Saturday.

Checkerboard · 06-17-22, 07:34 AM

How much of a dog can they make the two time defending champs on Saturday night?

I like Tampa in game 2. Avs might keep burying guys though
