[@jasonsmith5226]

First let me say-I will never count out 2 time Champs. But as a 4th generation Coloradoan on both sides,who's 45...that's the most dominant single game performance in Colorado sports history-factoring in the opposition,& stakes. 2015 Broncos had 1 of the 5 or so best defenses of All time,& dominated the #1 offense,& MVP in SB 50-but our abysmal offense was almost totally inept that day..less than 200 yds of offense. My All-time favorite Av-Peter Forsberg-scored a hat trick,(I THINK a natural hat trick even) in game 2 of 1996 Cup Finals. But for you kids who aren't old enough to remember-that Florida team was similar to last year Montreal. Pulled 3 upsets,(including Marion Lemieux,& Jamr Jagr somehow in ECFs)& rode an insanely hot goalie to the Finals. Defacto Cup Final was really the WCFs against Detroit.(Claude Lemiux hit on Draper series) Not trying to take anything away from that Av team-just like TB last year-you can only beat who shows up,it's not your fault if other elite teams get upset. And all championships are equal. 8-1 in the Finals,is 8-1. But this is the TB friggin Lightning...4 wins away from the most amazing dynasty in NHL history-considering we have 32 teams,4 rounds of playoffs,& a salary cap,which should in theory-prevent you from 3 peating,going to 4 Finals,& 6 of 8 ECFs. TB with the greatest goalie on earth-no matter what happens this series,& loads of other future HOFers. 1996 Florida isn't remotely in their class,but Avs last night made Tampa look like the DU Pioneers.(National Champs also. 2 more Av wins,& we WILL be talking about that "State of hockey" title-Minnesota-at least for 1 year)-or Colorado Eagles.(won 2 rounds-AHL quarterfinals). Actually hard to believe DU or the Eagles couldn't put up more resistance than last night-but probably not-lol. I don't wanna get ahead of myself,cuz I have too much respect for Tampa,& still remember last year-being up 2-0 on Vegas,(including 7-1 in game 1,& OT win in game 2-reversed from this series)-then losing 4 straight. Difference is this is a far more resilent,confident,& deep Av team than last year. Another difference-we saw that series shift-2nd period of game 2-where Vegas dominated the rest of that game 2-but lost. Grubbauer played unbelievable,& allowed us to steal game 2 in OT. This time the Avs have basically dominated both games,despite OT on Wednesday. And no Patrick Nemeth lobbing grenades to set up Vegas grade A+ chances this year.. Grubbauer got progressively worse that series,& melted down in game 6-a game the Avs actually deserved to win,& force game 7. But all these recent close calls,underachievements,(2021),insane, ridiculous injuries at the wrong time,(2020 bubble with Michael Hutchinson in net)-& disputed, disallowed tying goal in game 7.(SJ 2019)-all made this team stronger mentally,more resilent,& less likely to get comfortable. And if ya somehow get game 3-then maybe 16-2 is in the cards. But I'd personally be ecstatic with a split in Tampa,& a shot to wrap it up Friday at Ball in game 5.

The Avs are, quite literally, smashing the Lightning at their own game. Shutting them out & dominating. 🔥 &, that's what you normally see the Lightning doing to their opponents, especially at this stage. NOT, the other way around. 😏 It's safe to say that the Avs are, in fact, "terribly dangerous." &, they're meaning business. The stars, push, & drive is excellent & disciplined.

[@PhoenixTeamMG]

Furthermore, Kadri, MacKinnon, & Lehkonen. I want you to remember those names. They're due! 😉 Kadri is on his way back.

[@campbell9825]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Avs have been planning to play Tampa Bay for a long time and figuring out a strategy against them, seeing as they've won the last two cups. It's almost like Colorado knew they'd be facing Tampa Bay in the finals and came prepared

[@predat0r178]

People seem to forget that tampa won two cups in a row because they beat two teams who realistically shouldn’t even have been in the finals but now tampa is facing a true team in colorado and they now see how the stars and habs felt (so far)

[@spartannige3296]

The Stars were a fine team, however, you’re correct in saying they weren’t Finals worthy. The Habs were practically hoisted to the Finals by Carey Price, while he was injured too. No way should either of them been there. Lightning have had relatively easy Cup runs the last two years, and now it shows.

[@Red790]

2021 was a free cup for Tampa, Habs had a losing record and only made it into the playoffs because of the division formats that year

[@alangrygar8562]

@@spartannige3296 nah, I wouldn't say the entire runs were easy, the Islanders did give them a tough time the last 2 CFs, but the SC finals have been kind of a given to them for sure

[@garlitchgaming143]

Tampa does not have an answer these are not the rangers. The lightning can’t wait for the “matchups” on Monday and the Avs do not care about matchups cerelli got scored on from 3 different lines and still can’t handle mackinnon lol

[@MapleKitsune]

Avs> Tampa. Picked the Avs from the west, and they've shown that the Cup, is their rightful possession. Perhaps a sweep to embarrasse Tampa, or maybe Avs in 5 to bring the cup to home ice, but I can't see Tampa recovering for a 4 game comeback

[@Th4t_guy_]

A performance for the ages. It's one thing to win 7-4 or even like 6-2, but 7-0 in the FINALS. Also, if Mac can finesse that backhand spin sometime 😂 I remember watching this at the Tivoli, I wasn't in that crowd outside I was in the brewery. Too fun.

Nichuskin is to Mackinnon as Hossa was to Toews

Gary Makar has time to high five all of his friends. Definition = MacKinnon's parents.

[@12breacher82]

1- why is anyone surprised by the Avs having a breakout romp 2- it’s less a “performance for the ages” than the Bolts didn’t show up (why is up for discussion) 3- this isn’t Tampa’s 1st rodeo or bad loss in the SCF. It looked like the 2015 series vs Chicago. And since game 3 went 6-2 Bolts, don’t assume anything. Avs still up, still favored, still deadly, but Tampa will not roll over. 4- that “Avs aren’t looking that dangerous” comment aged as well as a dried turd on a bad stretch of highway.

[@matambale]

Happy Father's Day, Mr. Makar.

The game where TB learned they couldn't actually play hockey with the Avs and decided to go full whiny goon mode.... domination.
