Just when the Tampa Bay Lightning seemed to be overtaken by the Colorado Avalanche in this Stanley Cup final, they have reminded fans why they are the consecutive champions. Take Game 3, for example, when the Bolts responded with a 7-0 win over the contest before winning 6-2 at the Amalie Arena, extending a series that many thought was over. Or Friday, when Tampa, who left Game 4 with a loss and officer worries, entered a Ballroom Dance to eliminate the Avs with the Stanley Cup in play.
Lightning’s resilience will be needed again in Game 6. Tampa returns to its home ice on Sunday night with a chance to force a Game 7. Meanwhile, the Avalanche hopes to end Lightning’s bid for a third Cup Stanley in a row to win the third. championship in franchise history and first since 2001.
Tampa has earned a deserved 8-2 at home this postseason, but Colorado (8-1 on the road) has proven to travel as well as its rival. Should they win the Lightning, they would be one game away from becoming the first team to succeed successfully from a 3-1 disadvantage to win a Stanley Cup from the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs. Colorado, however, he hopes to prove his dominance in the regular season (a 56-19-7 record, highs in the Western Conference) translates when it matters most.
The album release is scheduled for 8 pm ET at the Amalie Arena. The game will air on ABC and can also be played on fuboTV (try it for free).
