It’s the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and the Tampa Bay Lightning are facing off against the Colorado Avalanche. Game one will begin on Wednesday evening in Colorado. Both teams have had an incredible season, so it’s hard to say who will come out on top.
For the past few years, the Colorado Avalanche has been one of the best teams in the NHL. They have a deep roster of talented players, and they have consistently made the playoffs. However, they have yet to make it to the Stanley Cup Final with this group until now. This year, many experts believe they finally have what it takes to go all the way. The Tampa Bay Lightning, on the other hand, is a team with loads of experience. They have won the Stanley Cup before and know what it takes to succeed in the playoffs.
The Lightning is once again one of the top teams in the league. They have an all-around team with a strong offense, led by forwards Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, and Brayden Point. They also have a stellar goaltender in Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has been a brick wall in the playoffs. Vasilevski may be the deciding factor on how this series goes.
The Avalanche, on the other hand, boasts one of the fastest teams anyone has ever seen. They are fast up front and fast on the back end. They have one of the best defensemen in the league in Cale Makar. They also have a deep scoring attack, with seven different players reaching double digits in goals during the playoffs. This attack includes Nathan MacKinnon a human highlight real.
While the Avalanche may be slightly the favorite, don’t count out the Lightning who are coming off back to back cups. Ultimately, it’s impossible to say who will win this series. It’s sure to be a close battle between two of the best teams in the NHL.
