According to their head coach, Jon Cooper, the ice advantage is huge for the Avalanche, because of the geographical features.
In the last few minutes, in a media scrum ahead of tonight's crucial game, Cooper added a layer to that.
Indeed, Cooper insisted that the home team has a competitive advantage when games are played in Colorado. (As is the case for tonight) It was special to hear such a speech, just hours before the game.
In any case, it will be really interesting to watch! In your opinion, will the Lightning win tonight and force a game #6, or will the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup?
