The NHL Awards 2022 Show was last night—the league and the Lightning hosted it at Amalie Arena—and I truly had no idea it was happening until all the announcements of awards started on Twitter. If you wanted to watch it but were relying on us to let you know, I apologize. But also, Google is free.
Anyway, Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight. It figures to be a good one. And to echo many of you from the comments yesterday, it’s probably a good bet that whoever wins tonight goes on to win the Cup: If Colorado wins, they get three chances to close it out, but if Tampa Bay wins and makes it 2-2, I can’t see Colorado taking two of three games from locked-in, late-series Andrei Vasilevskiy.
