Tonight, the Colorado Avalanche have their second of three chances to close out the Tampa Bay Lightning and capture the Stanley Cup. They would now do it on the road instead of at home in front of their rabid fanbase. But I’m sure every Av fan would rather they just get it done tonight in Game 6 rather than risk facing the wrath of Game 7 Andrei Vasilevskiy.
Meanwhile, of local intrigue, a late-round pick of the New York Islanders keeps shining as the lights get brighter. With luck, William Dufour will continue that trend as an Islander.
