I question Colorado's goaltending. They haven't faced a team as formidable as the Lightning to really test them. A couple of the goals Vasilevskiy gave up were rare easy ones, but he doesn't give them up on a consistent basis.

Now these teams wanna play defense....

Makar is a beast that move behind the net was so dope playing it behind to a teammate while simulataneously knocking over an opponent....

Yeah, that's what I figure will decide the series because Colorado has the better skaters. I expect the majority of games will be the Avs having a decent-to-large shot advantage but Vas could make that meaningless. He's been a beast since those early goals.

I hope we get six more of those

They can neutralize the goalie advantage by using there speed advantage....look how they throw off Vas with there quickness from the blue line in.....

I expect Colorado to win but there's always a chance a goalie, especially one as good as Vas, will stand on his head for four games and steal it. I wouldn't put my money on it though. This feels like the Avs time. They're so loaded and Kadri wasn't even playing.
