Colorado Avalanche vs Tampa Bay Lightning Game 5

The Colorado Avalanche are so close to winning their first Stanley Cup and with that comes great caution and responsibility.

They have figured out how to break down Tampa Bay Lightning both defensively and offensively, resulting in a three to one series lead at the moment.

The Avalanche are playing some of the best hockey ever and there is still time to cement their legacies even further with a dominant Game 5 win.

Clinching this series is easier said than done however. There are so many obstacles that come to mind when talking about the Tampa Bay Lightning and that can come into play in the closing Game 5.

Avalanche fans know that their team needs to stay the course and play like they are the ones down by two games.

The home crowd will be loud and willing their team to the finish line, and the players will gain some extra edge due to their belief.

The best team of the regular season has the opportunity to do what they have wanted to do for the whole year, win a Championship.

Tampa Bay are in a bad spot after dropping a very winnable game four.

On the defensive side, the Lightning are compact and letting through way too many shots on their goalkeeper. This adds pressure to the team as a whole and can force mistakes out of Vasilevsky.

The back to back winners of the Stanley Cup have the experience and knowledge to dig themselves out of this hole. Can they do it?

Prediction

We’re backing Colorado Avalanche close it out in game five, and win the Stanley Cup at the dome!
