But make no mistake, the NHL season will end Sunday, or it had better if you are an Avalanche fan. The Avalanche are awesome, but so too are the Lightning, who have proven themselves a worthy champion by rebounding admirably and resiliently all postseason, including in the wildly entertaining game Friday. Pat Pickens writes: "In hindsight, we should’ve trusted our instincts and given the two-time defending champs more respect than to be blown away in five short games. With their home crowd behind them and the Avalanche’s slowed momentum, the back to back champs have the experience to hold off elimination in Tampa." The Game Day: Avalanche 3, Lightning 2

Number Fire: Lightning have a 52.6% win probability vs. I like them to win another tightly played game in Tampa and finally raise the Cup again." Kuemper has to be better and MacKinnon, Landeskog and Rantanen have to assert much more dominance. Greg Wyshynski writes: "My preseries prediction was Avalanche in six, and I'll stick to that. If Colorado can play the entire 60 minutes like it did the final 20 of that game, and if Kuemper can be his best self, the Avalanche should find a way." ESPN: Avalanche 3, Lightning 2 The Lightning really do leave it all on the ice every night and Game 5 showed they are nothing but gutsy. And the Avalanche haven't lost consecutive games in the playoffs. Kristen Shilton writes: "I still think Colorado is the better team. The Avalanche then went to St Louis and won 3-2 to close out the series." ESPN: Avalanche 4, Lightning 2 Colorado also came home up 3-1 on St Louis for Game 5 of the second round and lost. Only six of those 17 teams (35.3%) were able to get the set to Game 7. Robert Duff writes: "The Lightning are the 17th team in Stanley Cup final history to force a Game 6 when down 3-1 in the series.

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING NEXT GAME FREE
With a number of aging pending free agents, and salary cap issues, change is inevitable. The Lightning are going to look much different in 2023-24.
I would expect to see BriseBois move the forward at the NHL Entry Draft to try and recoup some of the slew of draft picks who were sent to the Nashville Predators for Jeannot. He has a chance to be an impact top-six forward and if he’s given more ice-time on another team next season, look for his numbers to skyrocket. Personally, I’m not sure that’s the wisest of moves.Ĭolton is finding his own in Tampa Bay and produced 32 points in 81 regular season games and another four points in six playoff games. The Lightning only have a projected $2.4 million in cap space to work with this summer and considering the massive package the team traded away to acquire Tanner Jeannot, another pending restricted free agent, it’s very likely they prioritize him over Colton this summer.
