Now on to Colorado. The Avalanche have the best offense in the league. We are the two-time defending champs, and, oh yeah, we have the best goalie in the world!
Always extra fun beating a New Yawk team!
The Lightning will ride a pair of Steven Stamkos goals all the way back to the Stanley Cup Final for the third-consecutive year.
With Stamkos’ two goals leading the way, the Bolts eliminated the Rangers thanks to a 2-1 victory in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final at AMALIE Arena on Saturday.
Stamkos opened the scoring at 10:43 of the second period when he snapped a wrist shot past Igor Shesterkin at the far post to stake Tampa Bay to the lead.
In the third, the Rangers briefly tied the game with a power play goal, but Stamkos and the Bolts had a quick answer. Just 21 seconds later, Stamkos converted on an odd man rush to put the Lightning in front for good with less than seven minutes remaining in regulation.
From there, Andrei Vasilevskiy did the rest, keeping New York from scoring a second equalizer. Vasilevskiy finished with the night with 21 saves.
