Avalanche has a game ball in the NHL Final against Tampa Bay
Tampa. The Colorado Avalanche has a game ball in the Stanley Cup Final and could become a home champion in Denver on Midsummer Eve.
They won their fourth drama against Tampa last night – after an additional goal by Nazim Qadri.
The toughest challenge is keeping nerves in check, but once a dip occurs, it’s just a matter of acceleration and driving, Gabriel Landskog tells Sportbladet after the 3-2 win.
Yes, now close to the hockey stars of Klippiga Bergen.
Practically speaking, they get their hands on the turns they’ve been dreaming of since they were boys and might have to make do with their all-time midsummer party in a couple of days.
Because as I said:
They advanced 3-1 in the final series with a 3-2 win over Lightning at the Amalie Arena in Tampa last night – they were given 12 minutes of their first extra period by Nazim Qadri, the tough character forced to work on his thumb after a brutal tackle and came back last night.
– I’m not surprised he goes straight ahead and becomes a champion, he says Gabriel Landskog When we meet him after the decision.
– Exactly at the same crank I changed it so I didn’t really see how it went but of course it was very exciting.
turned out well
Until then, the fourth final was a match of an ever-changing nature. Tampa clearly had the better of the first half, and after scoring an early goal, Anthony Cirelli made sure to deprive Nathan McKinnon & Co. of all surfaces and times. In the second, it was Avs who set the tone while the third acted in a tug-of-war – then the guests again took over the overtime.
We did well in the second and third half, at least until Andrew Cogliano equalized. Then we let off the gas a bit and became very reluctant to pre-check, but in the long run we were good again, Landeskog continues.
We also felt that they were a little tired and lost a couple of guys during the match, so we made sure to be aggressive and lay down and it paid off.
Swedish could be the second language
Now Gabriel and his teammates have a chance to make a decision on the ballpark on Saturday night and save the club’s first championship since 2001.
It won’t be easy, the hardest match so far is guaranteed to wait, says Stockholm, who may be the second Swede in history to receive a decision from Commissioner Gary Pittman.
– To be completely honest, I think the hardest challenge is keeping nerves in check when you’re so close. Once a dip occurs, it’s just about acceleration and driving, but until then it’s sure to be annoying. However, he’s part of it too, and I’m still trying to enjoy the moment.
