You know what Don Cherry always said...don't blow out a team because they will come back angrier and more motivated than ever. The Avs winning 7-0 has been some great news for the Bolts. Lightning in 7 Talk about putting a positive spin on it! Were you born in Canada or something? 😁 Of course that would also mean the Avs are gonna come back hard tomorrow and take a home game away from the Bolts... 😛 Home ice advantage: Ultimately the altitude in COL is gonna doom TB, failing all else.

Severus Alexander Posted June 26, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 As @Steve the Great says, it's that time again!! But now I'm firmly back in Colorado's camp. Enough already... time to close this series out. I'm expecting Tampa Bay to win tonight at home, on their humid crappy low altitude ice they're so used to, but will be glad if the Avalanche manage to do the deed tonight. Although that would be a bit sad for their fans, who wouldn't get to see the Cup in their arena that way. And a game 7 is always nice, if rather nerve-wracking! Still, I hope they take it. Remember: the Lightning have won TWO CUPS IN A ROW already. Time to give someone else a turn, and Colorado has had an amazing season capped by an ever better playoff. They totally deserve it! So here's a cup for the Avs (Tetricus II antoninianus): And a really nice barbarous imitation (made in the asylum?) for the Bolts!! 😆 😜 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
