    This is how we are playing the cup final

    TB 4-0+2250(1*)
    TB-2.5 games+300(1*)
    TB series price+145(4*)
    Vasilevski Conn Smythe+350(1*)
    TB game 1+136(5*)


    Colorado obviously is a high flying outfit with great players and talent all over the rink. None of that matters though because the opponent is savvy and versatile. TB will clog up the lanes and things will get increasingly difficult for the AVS. Colorado has played one similiar opponent (Blues) and they gave the AVS problems but binnington got hurt and they don't have the weapons that TB has.

    TB clearly has the better goalie ( that MIGHT be overplayed but it's important).
    Colorado is similiar to the leafs so the lightning have the blueprint to get this done. Colorado relies on getting to the net and getting clean looks. TB will take that away and hold them to the outside. Vasilevski will get the rest done.

    I'm seeing this series as a very similar situation to the isles vs Edmonton in 1983. The Oilers were the upstart high flying team like Colorado but the veteran isles had all the intangibles and experience to sweep the Oilers and teach them a lesson they used to run the show for years. Colorado is stacked. They have it all pretty much and have finally made it to the final. The problem is that the team that no one can beat is in the way.

    The reason I took the stab with the sweep is that I could see this snowball quickly and many are expecting a great series. That usually never works out but I do hope it is great.

    The 3 peat is going to happen. Get ready.

    Vasilevski Is 0-3 vs the Avs, has a 3.41 GAA and 8.77 SVP and has not beaten the AVS since 2018.

    Small sample size yes.

    What's stopping you from betting +700 on 'TB to win Cup AND Vasilevskiy to win C.Smyth'?

    hard to say what will happen. Your guess is as good as mine.

    My play will be the over game #1. I think it could be similar to Game 1 Edm vs Col where they will go like gangbusters. Not saying it will be 8-6 this time but I am on the over.

    I am rooting for Tampa because fukk Kadri. Otherwise I would be cheering for the Avs.

    Colorado 6-5 in OT

    Over 6-120
    Tampa Bay Lightning vs Colorado Avalanche
    game 1

    Avs offense is a juggernaut. Can the defense keep up? Who knows.

    Close but overall Avs deserved to win today. This could go 7 games.

    lakerboy made a pick.
    That is what this site is all about. So he lost the 1st game and a few wagers, at least he posted a pick.
    Do any of you detractors have a posted pick on this game/series??? If not, lighten up.

    Game 1 hasn’t matter that much in Stanley cup finals over the last 10 years. Tampa played well. They are definitely in this series
