The Colorado Avalanche struck first and they struck hard in the first game of the 2022 Stanley Cup finals as they took down the reigning cup Champions Tampa Bay Lightning by 4-3 in a game full of thrills, excitement and above all, goals. Of course, starting out the series with a win is always the best scenario, but capitalizing on that and striking again in game 2 will be a definite must for the Avalanche as they host the Lightning once again for the second game of the series. Will Colorado be able to keep their momentum going

    The 2022 Stanley Cup finals is officially upon us as the team that for many hockey fans was the best all-around squad this season, the Colorado Avalanche will face off against the two-time, defending Stanley Cup Champions, Tampa Bay Lightning. After seeing the Oilers off in a series that almost finished as soon as it started, the Colorado Avalanche will now be looking to stop a Tampa Bay team that’s coming off a physically demanding series against the New York Rangers where their championship pedigree ended up being the biggest advantage ever for a Lightning team looking to

    The New York Rangers had one simple task at hand in game 5 of their series against the Lightning. Win at home and take full control of the series, but then the Lightning showed the Rangers what a true and tried championship-caliber team can do when it’s crunch time and now, after having Tampa Bay flip the series back in their favor, game 6 is upon us. As both teams get ready to head back to Florida, the scenario paints itself as a clear win or bust situation for the Rangers, while for the Lightning it’s win and

    After returning from a two-game stint in Tampa for games 3 and 4 of the NHL’s Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Rangers are bringing the series back home for game 5 tonight with the clear intention to break the 2-2 tie between them and the Tampa Bay Lightning and assert what could end up being a very damaging blow to Tampa’s hopes of making it to the Stanley Cup finals for the third time in as many years. A very present trend has marked this series thus far which is that both teams have won their respective

    Apparently, nobody decided to let the New York Rangers know that they were playing the 2-time defending Stanley Cup Champions Tampa Bay Lightning for a spot in this season’s NHL championship series. In an electric night in game 1 of the ECC series between the Rangers and Lightning, New York took Tampa Bay down like there was no tomorrow at home in MSG with a commanding 6-2 win to get a head start in their conference championship series. Now, as game 2 approaches on Friday night in New York, will the Rangers be up for the challenge of

    What is it about the Oilers and starting out playoff series with epic showdowns? Against the Flames in their last playoff series NHL fans were treated to an epic 9-6 feast that saw the Oilers lose, and now, in the first game of their WCC series against the Avalanche, a score of 8-6 in favor of Colorado was the first sign that we are in for what promises to be a thrilling series for a spot in the Stanley Cup Finals. Today, as Colorado gets ready to host the Oilers for game 2 of the series, will we

  In a rematch of the 2015 Eastern Conference Finals, the two-time Stanley Cup defending champions Tampa Bay Lightning, who are looking to make it a three peat, will be looking to once again dispatch the New York Rangers out of their goal of making the Stanley Cup finals. The series, which is slated to start tomorrow night at the mythical Madison Square Garden will show the perfect matchup between the championship pedigree ridden Lightning against the brash, young and explosive Rangers. With this said, who will strike first in NY? Will it be the Lightning coming up with an

    Hockey fans all over know that this series is more than just the Avalanche vs. the Oilers. This series is the showdown between Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid. Yes, both teams have shown some very strong and great strides on their way to this season’s Western Conference Finals, but for once, ever since those great days where we were treated to the Ovechkin vs. Crosby showdowns, hockey fans will be treated to a series between not only two of the best teams on the ice this season, but arguably the two best players in the league, all for

    The Rangers are taking the series back to New York once again after losing game 5 in Carolina. Now, with their backs against the wall, there is no better time than right now for the New York Rangers to step on the gas and try their best to force a game 7 in the series. Carolina on the other hand will be looking to capitalize on their game 5 win by going into Madison Square Garden, one of the toughest arenas to play in in the world and do what many see as unthinkable, knock the Rangers out

    If there was ever a game for the Colorado Avalanche to win, it was game 5 of their series against the Saint Louis Blues, but yet, it seems like the ghosts of their playoff appearance back in 2014 decided to show up on the ice and see how everything was going. The Avalanche went from having a 3-0 lead, to a 4-3 lead to losing the game 5-4 in overtime. Now, as they face game 6, against a Blues team who will surely be looking to rally up at home after their game 5 win, the question here
