They also chat about the goaltending matchup, Colorado’s business-like mindset throughout the playoffs and Tampa Bay’s killer instinct and ability to adjust to any opponent within a series. They then make some fun predictions before discussing the aura of covering such a big event. All that and more on this longer preview edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
