Tampa isn’t Pittsburgh or Carolina. If you give them an opening, they’re going to maximize their opportunities. That being said, they’re beatable. Toronto had them on the ropes, and were 6 minutes or so away from knocking them out in 6, and they had numerous chances in overtime.

Vasilevskiy in a game 7 is a problem. Doesn’t matter if it’s home or on the road. Even with the home ice advantage, ima go on a limb and say if the Rangers are going to win this series, they need to do it in 6.

I’m curious to if all the time off ends up making Colorado rusty early in the finals. It’ll likely be over a week between games for them.

If it goes 7 will be 12days off for Colorado i think

Also, Tampa has an actual goalie. No disrespect to Domingue, Raanta or Kotchetkov.
 
We’ve played much worse and have always bounced back this entire year. It’s a 2-2 series ya acting like it’s 3-0
im pissed because it should have been 3-0...in our favor

tampa is not carolina or pittsburgh.

theres a reason theyre back to back champions and going for their 3rd (even though i dont think anyone can beat colorado)

you dont make mistakes against excellent teams and live to tell about it
 
To be fair. This Colorado team is on an entirely higher level than anything Tampa has faced during the 2 back to back cup runs.

Outside of last years Islanders ECF series. Tampa really wasn’t challenged at all during those cup runs. They went up 3-1 in every series in 2020 and 2021 aside from last years ECF against the Isles.

This year Toronto made them earn it, and the Rangers have been doing so this series as well.

I could feel the playoff anxiety hitting you in the first sentence :lol: We’ve beaten tampa 5 times this year, relax buddy they’re beatable. This is going to 7
 
I think if it goes 7, or TB is facing elimination in gm6, we see Brayden Point.
 
Very excited, this determines who has to win two straight to win. Game 5’s are kind of Game 7’s at 2-2.
 
Shout out Rangers, because the Lightning are averaging less than 6 SOG
