We want seven games , go TB

[Checkerboard]

Tampa short dog. Be nice if Colorado gets one or two early goals again, then add more live.

If Avs don't score early then it could be trouble

Lets goooo

I hate to say this and I could be wrong but this series looks like it'll be Colorado's easily. They have too much speed for Tampa and are able to score at will. I think Tampa gets at least 1 at home but it's starting to look like this will be a short series unless something drastic changes.

[mr. leisure]

TB is totally over matched .

[Otters27]

Tampa most likely tired themselves out with Rangers

[Checkerboard]

Avalanche sweep?

[Checkerboard]

Lets see if home ice makes any difference here for Tampa.

[mr. leisure]

Avalanche sweep?

Wouldn`t surprse at all .

Wouldn`t surprse at all .

If Avalanche sweep Lightning that would mean they won the cup in 18 games, just 2 over the minimum 16.

[hotcross]

TB is totally over matched .

Tampa looked like a no-show performance in Game 2

Surprising, they haven't been that type of team in recent years

I did say before this is a big step up in quality of the opponent, compared to their last two Cup Finals

[mr. leisure]

Nice game by TB , now we have a series .

[Checkerboard]

Tampa was able to gear up on home ice. 3peat back in play.

[mr. leisure]

Lets tie this series up tonight TB .

[Checkerboard]

Basically a pick'em. Maybe bet team down early live.

[Otters27]

Avs are vulnerable now. I have no idea though who wins tonight

[mr. leisure]

Kadri with the OT winner for the AVS

[Checkerboard]

Futures odds all point to Colorado polishing off Tampa in 5.

Assist from Kuemper, and a missed Too Many Men penalty

Futures odds all point to Colorado polishing off Tampa in 5.

I think this series is pretty much over. Colorado is the superior team and right now Tampa Bay is playing like a team that knows the writing is on the wall that their run is over. I'm kind of glad Colorado is on the verge of winning the cup because I've always liked watching their team play.

[Checkerboard]

Since Tampa won the Cup and the Super Bowl in the same year, maybe an Avalanche Cup can spark the Broncos.

[mr. leisure]

I want at least one more game after tonight .

Go TB

[hotcross]

I do think Tampa wins game 5

And that does not necessarily mean Tampa also wins game 6 at home

[jrgum3]

I've been getting burned betting this series so I think from here on out I'm just going to watch it as a fan and not get involved betting it. Just when I think Tampa Bay is dead of course they stave off elimination and force a game 6. I still think Colorado wins this series but I've been wrong just about every step of the way with my bets in this series.

[Checkerboard]

Lot of 7 gamers this year, still possible for another.

Me too , just watching .

[hotcross]

It's hard to imagine Colorado getting this close and failing to win the series. At this point, thinking they get to game 7.... will look into this closer and see if something stands out to me.

Really, the games have been tight margin for error, coulda gone either way. Tampa is more banged up, so I'd say it would be a horrible look for Colorado to get up 3-1 games, and lose 3 straight.

[Checkerboard]

Just watching too. I may end up betting small live on whoever may be down early to comeback, don't care which side.

[Otters27]

I like Colorado to bang em up tonight

[mr. leisure]

Go Bolts , tie it up .

[hotcross]

I studied and found a little something more to back my hunch of this series going to 7 games. Things I look at let's just say... don't always matter in the outcome... but it's there for Tampa.

I'm playing +170 Tampa in Regulation (3 way line) for game 6 tonight.

I'm more comfortable with this bet, compared to if we do go to game 7, trying to pick that winner.... my hunch is Colorado wins at home in game 7

[mr. leisure]

I like Colorado to bang em up tonight

Winner , congrats Avs fans .

[jrgum3]

Well it was a great hockey season I'm happy for the Avs they deserved this championship as I thought they were the best team all year long and they proved it on the ice by beating the defending champs. Kudos to Tampa Bay for making to a third straight Stanley Cup Finals but Colorado would just not be denied this season.

[Checkerboard]

Pretty efficient campaign, 2 sweeps and two 4-2's.
