Now that’s how you begin a Stanley Cup Final! Excellent game!

[junemacdonald]

This series is going to be one for the ages I think, what a game!

[gopropeterchockey]

What a way to start the series, two heavyweights going toe to toe with no one giving an inch. It's going to be a series to remember, that OT goal came out of nowhere!

[dominickefrim]

What a great game.

Arguably the 2 deepest and best systematic teams goin head to head. No Cinderella stories. Just 2 really good teams battling it out.

[JonOroMusic]

Such a great look to the series. Wouldn't be surprised if a couple more games go to OT

[justinnzamora]

This game should be a message for Tampa that Colorado is going to be tougher than Dallas and Montreal from the previous years.

What a goal from Burakovsky.

[davidmetzler]

My goodness what a game. Give me more of this, give me game 7 overtime with these 2 teams and see what they've got. It's such a treat so see a championship finals with such an "if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best" mantra applying to BOTH teams at this point. Wow.

[justinbarton]

Now this is a Stanley cup Final for the ages, 2x cup champs vs the best they've ever been avalanche. This will be Legendary.

Is it just me or do the Sportsnet commentators sound wayyy more enthusiastic and excited than the monotone commentators at ESPN except for Ray Ferraro.

[Easex]

This is one of the best matchups we've ever seen. A team that's won back to back years with a seemingly unbeatable roster versus a team that was rock bottom a few years ago and now cruised through every opponent so far. We'll remember this one

[ericmartinbosse]

These guys leave it all on the ice. Great sport with insane atheletics and speed. Great examples for young men !

[akaashraghunath]

This is gonna be a hell of a series! Can't wait for this to go seven!

[alexschroeder]

What an amazing game, this series is shaping up to be fantastic. Hopefully Kuemper gets better as the series goes on and Kadri and Cogliano can come back soon. Go Avs!

[alexbrangan]

Exactly the clash of the titans we all expected. Lightning started off cold but they didn't give up; just gotta get over those mental mistakes on defense! Giveaways in our own zone have been the death of so many playoff runs before this. The Avalanche skate fast and find seams to score on like it's nothing. Can't be giving a team that good those extra chances!

[romanberdichevsky]

Валера просто монстр какой-то, грейт джоб Ничьюшкин!

[TheKisj]

This is going to be one of the greatest finals in a long time

[craigh]

I hope it goes to 7, just want to see more of this action!

[bearforce]

Game 1 went exactly how I thought this series would go, two great teams, this should be one of the better finals in a while.

[RichM]

Go AVALANCHE! Yes a heavy weight match. Vaselesky still has me concerned. Been 21 years, always an AVS fan👍

[TheChangNetwork]

Its actually ridiculous how flexible vasilevski is. He almost had that last one.
