Still one of the most unreal games i've ever seen. Just complete domination in all 3 zones. God I miss this Avs team. 22 Avs was one of the greatest teams ever

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I wonder who would win a series between that LA team and this CO team… I think LA would have had them by a little bit. CO has more speed than that LA team but LA was better defensively and J. Quick was a freak.

losing a hockey game by a touchdown and extra point is never good, Avs are just that superior, Tampa will be fortunate to avoid a sweep says my crystal ball....
I've been arguing that for years. Wisconsin is a true hockey state. Vegas, Phoenix, San Jose, Tampa Bay, Florida; Idk. World has changed, next a team from Jamaica?
As a Ranger fan watching this game, I felt like a Roman Emperor, watching the citizen who offended me, get either slaughtered by a gladiator or eaten alive by a lion! I'm sure Maple Leafs and Panthers fans felt the same way! Come on, Avs - finish the job in Florida - don't do what we did!
@@sjdrifter72 Yeah, that's what you're hoping happens. It might, it might not. BTW, you're a Sharks fan? You've got a nice legacy of failure going on there!

By facing a puck controlling and superior defensive team. What happened to your returning hero, Point? 1 SOG tonight. What happened to "the east has better goaltending and defense"? That script has been flipped. I guess I answered my own questions, but there's one I can't....How does it feel to get completely dominated 7-0?

16 since the last time AVS dominate like this? Dude the AVS this year and only a handful of other teams in NHL history have been this dominant, I guarantee you've never seen any AVS team been this dominant and if we sweep there may be no one to ever see a team this dominant EVER!
@@rbeforme Perpetual injuries kept us from the big game for awhile, but otherwise there really isn't another team that can hold a candle to the raw skill the Avs have.
I was at a bar and they had this game on. I’m not a hockey fan by any means and have never sat and watched an NHL game but even I could tell that the TBL were getting absolutely destroyed like it’s never been seen.
I've been an avalanche fan since they came from quebec. It's been a long time coming to see them back in the Stanley Cup but you can't count the Lightning out yet. They are two times Stanley Cup champions and I would love to see Colorado win, but it's going to be a fight.
Yup its def a fight alright.......to bad its just a 1 sided fight lol!!! I've been a fan since they were Quebec. As good as the lightning are I just think the are to outmatched n outclassed. The next game will tell cuz if the Avs can keep this level of play up in Tampa then it just might be their 3rd sweep in the playoffs! Here's to hoping lol
Yeah I'm with you. I would love to see a sweep I just don't think it's going to happen. But to your point watching the first two games, Tampa does look over matched. We'll see if game 3 is any different.
It's already over because the Lightning have Corey Perry on their roster. Look what happened to the last 2 teams Perry has been on (Dallas, Montreal) they both lost the last two Cup finals. Now it's Tampa's turn to lose.
@guess who Something I didn't consider is the road to the Stanley Cup. What I mean is Colorado has swept two of their three opponents prior to the the Stanley Cup. The lightning had to go seven with the Maple leafs, they swept Florida, and they went six with the Rangers. As good as the lightning is, longer series do wear you out when your opponent has played three last games to get there. That being said, it would not surprise me if Colorado wins the series in five.
I'm thinking about everyone throughout the season who said the Avs are only good against shitty teams in the west, but once they face teams from the east, they're not going know what hit 'em. And all season I said wait and see, it'll be the other way around. Two series' swept and 14-2 in the playoffs, I'd say those people severely underestimated the Avs. Also, I'm glad we're playing TB and not NY, I wouldn't want to go up against any other team in the finals; gotta beat the best to be the best! And I know TB will gather themselves and come back strong for game 3, I'm looking forward to it! Nothing but respect! Go Avs!!!
@@brettkenschaft4239 indeed. Some of those people seem to be in this thread now, talking mad shit that the Avs don't stand a chance. Those are some pretty bold words coming from someone who just watched their team suffer the biggest shutout in Stanley Cup history.

Wow! 7-0 is a rarity for a hockey game. We'll see if Colorado continues to dominate.
It looks like your aren’t certain
@@Tova-Barin
I am not an avid fan throughout the season. So, I can't predict.
@@Tova-Barin cocky remark. Accept a defeat with humility. And if it’s time for Tampa to pass the torch do it with some class
@@us-Bahn It will be interesting to see what Game 3 brings. Either Colorado wins and are closer to the Cup or Tampa wins and brings them back into this. Can’t wait for it though.
@@us-Bahn I can taste a slight bit of salt in that comment lol. You'll understand that if you get the L shoved in your face, it's because Bolts fans have been a little too cocky for far too long.
i’m a wings fan and even i want the avs to win
Shame on you
That speaks volumes!
Cheers!
@@carlosanaya4149 chill dawg
That says a lot!! Right on!
I'm a wings fan too. I live north of Denver. Go Avs!
Avalanche are unstoppable!
LET’S GO AVS! Mackinnon hasn’t even got going yet, he gets hot and we’re looking good!
losing a hockey game by a touchdown and extra point is never good, Avs are just that superior, Tampa will be fortunate to avoid a sweep says my crystal ball....
This gotta be the best avs team all time. Maker is just to good
Not a diehard but became a huge Avs fan back in 98-99. Wish Milwaukee had an NHL team but til then, Go Avs!
honestly, milwaukee needs an nhl team
Bro we avs fans except you into the family
I've been arguing that for years. Wisconsin is a true hockey state. Vegas, Phoenix, San Jose, Tampa Bay, Florida; Idk. World has changed, next a team from Jamaica?
@@Tecumseh4-k2z cool runnings 2: ice hockey !
The last time I saw a beat down this bad was a high school hockey game.
As a Ranger fan watching this game, I felt like a Roman Emperor, watching the citizen who offended me, get either slaughtered by a gladiator or eaten alive by a lion! I'm sure Maple Leafs and Panthers fans felt the same way! Come on, Avs - finish the job in Florida - don't do what we did!
🤣🤣🤣
Same reason I watched this video😂😂😂
Your team is cursed. So savor that old 1994 Cup film footage cuz you won't see your Blueshirts hoist another Cup in your lifetime.
At least you can enjoy something as a Rangers fan. 😆
@@sjdrifter72 Yeah, that's what you're hoping happens. It might, it might not. BTW, you're a Sharks fan? You've got a nice legacy of failure going on there!
Not counting Tampa out yet, but g’damn it’s great to see them play an actually good team in the final. Fun to watch. Let’s go avs
I just got hip to hockey. But I feel in love with it 🥰
Just imagine beating the 2 time defending Stanley Cup champions by a touchdown in the Finals. 🤯
Last time a team got smoked like that in the finals was the Panthers in 1996....lol
Don’t remind me of SB48. Not a defending champion but a Super Bowl blowout it was...
This was so satisfying to watch as a Blue Jackets fan. Finally shut up the obnoxious Tampa fans. Go Avs!!
You best not get into anything big yet, these were the first two games of the series, they are yet to go to Tampa, but yes I do agree go Avs
You got a bad name for being anti-Bolts. Change it now
@@dubs9426 except Avs are undefeated on the road so far…they play better in the opposition barn
@@fleurafricaine5740 you’re mad over a RUclips comment😂😂
Have fun living vicariously through a team who beat you in 6. Pathetic.
Any questions TB? I have some. What happened to your golden god goalie? He got shelled and left hanging. How does a professional hockey team only have 10 SOG after 2 periods? By facing a puck controlling and superior defensive team. What happened to your returning hero, Point? 1 SOG tonight. What happened to "the east has better goaltending and defense"? That script has been flipped. I guess I answered my own questions, but there's one I can't....How does it feel to get completely dominated 7-0?
Tampa's D SUCKS
Great point. 10 shots on goal in two periods. Shaking my head…
An unlikely fan from Detroit. Run em
Colorado. Can’t see the Tampa team go 3x. Good work boys.
Go ahead and jump ship. If you're really a Wings fan, I don't blame you if you do. I don't think any CO fan will.
@@rbeforme wings fan through and through. Fucking hate you guys but deserved to win.
im from pittsburgh and a die hard pens fan! let me tell you though, i love seeing the avs doing their thing!
Wasn't as close as the score might indicate
Misleading Title, should be Stanley Cup Final Game 2: Colorado Avalanche Full Game Highlights.
Or, this is NOT a Stanley Cup Finals game....
The sequence between 5:03 and 5:15 shows how hungry the Av’s are and how tired Tampa is.
Man I've waited over 20 years for this!!! I was 16 last time I saw the Avs dominate like this!! 2 more wins n their Stanley Cup Champs. Let's make it another sweep boys.
Tampa wins game 3 5-4
Ur team so great I hope u win it u deserve it
@@JoeMama-ly1kc I kinda do hope. because then avs win it at home. but I think they're too hungry. the interviews and the celebrations after goals say it all. we are going to win. we are not done. no smiling. just straight anger.
16 since the last time AVS dominate like this? Dude the AVS this year and only a handful of other teams in NHL history have been this dominant, I guarantee you've never seen any AVS team been this dominant and if we sweep there may be no one to ever see a team this dominant EVER!
I mean really the two prior world champs that we had look like chumps so far compared to this team and it's obvious
Maybe now the Avs will get the recognition they deserve.
Die-hards will know...we've been waiting for years. The Avs have been the most underrated squad in the league for quite awhile.
@@rbeforme Perpetual injuries kept us from the big game for awhile, but otherwise there really isn't another team that can hold a candle to the raw skill the Avs have.
Tampa needed to be humbled. Avs are showing they want that cup. GO AVS!!!!!
Why did they need to be humbled? They aren’t some mouthy northern team, they’re just being what they are.
@@kyledodson2992 Yeah exactly. These other fanbases are pathetically clinging to the Avs because they couldn't beat Tampa.
@@kyledodson2992
No fanbase has a right to be cocky. Especially not as cocky as Bolts fans have been these past couple years
@@STEEZY_TREV16 that’s fans... not the team itself.
I was at a bar and they had this game on. I’m not a hockey fan by any means and have never sat and watched an NHL game but even I could tell that the TBL were getting absolutely destroyed like it’s never been seen.
I've been an avalanche fan since they came from quebec. It's been a long time coming to see them back in the Stanley Cup but you can't count the Lightning out yet. They are two times Stanley Cup champions and I would love to see Colorado win, but it's going to be a fight.
Yup its def a fight alright.......to bad its just a 1 sided fight lol!!! I've been a fan since they were Quebec. As good as the lightning are I just think the are to outmatched n outclassed. The next game will tell cuz if the Avs can keep this level of play up in Tampa then it just might be their 3rd sweep in the playoffs! Here's to hoping lol
No one cares how long you’ve been a fan
Yeah I'm with you. I would love to see a sweep I just don't think it's going to happen. But to your point watching the first two games, Tampa does look over matched. We'll see if game 3 is any different.
It's already over because the Lightning have Corey Perry on their roster. Look what happened to the last 2 teams Perry has been on (Dallas, Montreal) they both lost the last two Cup finals. Now it's Tampa's turn to lose.
@guess who Something I didn't consider is the road to the Stanley Cup. What I mean is Colorado has swept two of their three opponents prior to the the Stanley Cup. The lightning had to go seven with the Maple leafs, they swept Florida, and they went six with the Rangers. As good as the lightning is, longer series do wear you out when your opponent has played three last games to get there. That being said, it would not surprise me if Colorado wins the series in five.
Easy night for Kemp, only facing 16 shots, no odd man rushes or breakaways. Avs showing Bolts what defense is.
🎯
Only 16 shots? How pathetic. I’m not cheering Bolts but I expect them to win Cup. What the hell do they call this tonight?
I'm thinking about everyone throughout the season who said the Avs are only good against shitty teams in the west, but once they face teams from the east, they're not going know what hit 'em.
And all season I said wait and see, it'll be the other way around. Two series' swept and 14-2 in the playoffs, I'd say those people severely underestimated the Avs.
Also, I'm glad we're playing TB and not NY, I wouldn't want to go up against any other team in the finals; gotta beat the best to be the best! And I know TB will gather themselves and come back strong for game 3, I'm looking forward to it! Nothing but respect!
Go Avs!!!
Yeah I agree. But those were snobby east coast people who probably don't even pay attention to the west. BIG mistake!
@@brettkenschaft4239 indeed. Some of those people seem to be in this thread now, talking mad shit that the Avs don't stand a chance. Those are some pretty bold words coming from someone who just watched their team suffer the biggest shutout in Stanley Cup history.
@@jonathanconnor7920 Yep. Series isn't over yet obviously, but I think the Avs are just too much for them to handle.
So that's why the Avs are called an unstoppable force... I'm new to hockey, but, I'm loving the series for sure.
Contributions by many Avs players including ones you would not expect to step up so defiantly.
And #29 hasn't even scored YET.....
@@markrybeckpropertiesllc9866 And Nazem Kadri is out of the lineup injured.
This was an absolute relentless attack. Highly impressive to dominate the two time defending champions. I hope Tampa can actually make a series out of this. As a Ranger fan i just want to see a good series. Right now this is pros vs amateurs.
Joe Sakic has built an amazing team 🏑🏑
One of the few players who goes on to greatness in management (or just that doesn’t mess everything up which is the status quo)…
As a devastated rangers fan not over yet but aves are the real deal
Lol at all the lightning fans saying Colorado is going to get crushed and hasn’t faced a defensive juggernaut like TB before. Your defense looks like Swiss cheese
I know , and it's 11 goals to 3 goals in 2 games, that's make it an average of 5 to 0 per game and they talking about their defense
Stanley Cup loading....50% completed! GO AV'S
Why bother showing up if you are the Bolts… just put cardboard players out there, enjoy the beach and go relax. This was dominance. Hardcore
Wow even a short hand goal, Aves look unbeatable think they will sweep.
I can't believe they never pulled Vas that was brutal, but I'm happy the avs won lol
I know right? He got straight up destroyed and they left him hanging.
He's got a third degree burn on the back of his neck from the red light!
Mark my words vasy mindset is fucked I don’t care who u are if u don’t take your goalie out after 5 his mindset is fucked he’s not playing the rangers this Avs team is speed from line 1-4
@@alcoffin4731 🤣🤣🤣 Love it!! That's a great comment!
Very true. Cooper let vasy soak in it game 1 Rangers. Old school I guess
Loved the Cogliano to Manson goal, love seeing former ducks thrive!
And I enjoyed watching Perry losing his mind.
2 wins down, 2 to go.
Teams are going to try and replicate what the Avs are doing. This team is changing the game as we speak. Go AVS!
They better get a good gm then lol
Worst beating since Sonny tracked down Carlo.
Nice Godfather reference!! 👏👏
I feel like this is more a "Leave the Gun, take the Canoli" situation
@@soulknife20 No, hopefully, that will be coming later in this series.
Tampa tried you could see it but they were completely overwhelmed and couldn't withstand the Avs offensive power ...insaid 5 games now I say sweep this has the making of what happened in 96 vs florida when they smoked Florida 8 to 1 ....so tampa fans sorry the Avs have this and you know it and why cry about it you already have 2 cups
Pretty sure I saw this same comment from a Rangers fan last series
@@fearlv1rattata the rangers never destroyed them like the.Avs did plus the 6 to 2 game was game 1 not game 2 ...the lightning had a game in to prepare for Avs and got crushed...the avs are hungry and the lightning have already eaten see ya TL
@@fearlv1rattata how's that possible it mentions the 96 avs team why would a ranger fan say that
What happened to all the adjustments Tampa was going to make?
Good question. Look for the Tampa miracles to resume in game 3
Got bitchslapped out of the rink eh!
Just like I said give Colorado the Cup now and let's get this thing over with. Tampa is no match for Colorado
To kick things up a notch in game 3, drop in Kadri
Go Colorado
lightning finally learned what an ass whooping is tonight
Lucky enough to have won a ticket to this game. The atmosphere was incredible.
Lightning got absolutely shit on lol 😆 humbled
Avs are SMASHING !!!!
I told you Tampa, the AVs had rest rust in the first game!
That 5th goal was my kind of ice hockey.. fantastic..just hope the avalanche don't become the new Milwaukee bucks and just win it once and done..
WOW Avs on a mission they look like they are going to take this series but from a Rangers ran don't let up on this TB team
I don't think they will. They're HUNGRY!!
And the rangers are not as fast as the Avs the two fastest teams in the nhl are the Avs and the oilers Tampa are more big body’s and everytime there defense tries to pinch they get caught out speed kills
Damnm 7-0 now Colorado 14-2 equals no 3peat for TB I say Avalanche in 5...
