.....

Tampa Bay Lightning (2) vs. Colorado Avalanche (4)​

Game 1: Avalanche 4, Lightning 3 (OT)
When the puck dropped, the Avalanche showed they could use their speed to offset Tampa Bay's players who have been here, done that. And it doesn't hurt to have a guy who also hoisted the Cup. Burakovsky is one of only two Colorado players with Stanley Cup rings, and that came in handy.

Game 2: Avalanche 7, Lightning 0
What emerged from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night wasn't their championship pedigree or vaunted ability to bounce back but frayed nerves and maybe a realization that the Colorado Avalanche are coming swiftly for their crown. Outmuscled. Outhustled. Out-tussled.

Game 3: Lightning 6, Avalanche 2
Steven Stamkos and Ondrel Palat each had a goal and an assist, and the Tampa w Lightningscored four times in the second period and beat the Colorado Avalanche Monday night in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Game 4: Avalanche 3, Lightning 2 (OT)
Nazem Kadri scored at 12:02 of the extra period to give Colorado the victory. The Avalanche outshot the Lightning 11-3 in the extra period.

Game 5: Lightning 3, Avalanche 2
The resilient Tampa Bay Lightning spoiled Colorado's party to stay in the hunt for a third straight Stanley Cup title. Completing this comeback series win would put them in an entirely different category. Only one team has rallied to capture a Game 7 in the final after trailing 3-1 in a series — the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs.

Game 6: Avalanche 2, Lightning 1
The Avalanche dethrone Lightning to win Stanley Cup for 3rd time in franchise history and first in more than two decades. Sakic, who captained Colorado’s first two title-winning teams in 1996 and 2001, used a familiar recipe to get his team over the hump.

After 2022 Stanley Cup win, the Colorado Avalanche have the foundation for a dynasty

Cale Maker can occasionally make your jaw drop off the ice, too. The Colorado Avalanche defenseman attended the Stanley Cup Final media day recently when he was asked about the matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning, a team seeking a three-peat. "Obviously, they're a team that's looking to become a dynasty, and we're a team that's looking to start a legacy," Makar said. "You want to beat the best to be the best." I mean, that's perfect. "You couldn't write it up any better, honestly," Makar said. Have the Avalanche, with this Stanley Cup championship, started their legacy?
