The Avalanche had the Stanley Cup in the building, but came up short in Game 5 with a 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, sending this series back to Tampa Bay for Game 6. The Avs did not have their best game, but it was far from their worst as well. However, with two more chances to close this series out, now is not the time to panic at all. The officiating was questionable, and some huge calls were missed that gave Tampa Bay a big advantage. Darcy Kuemper couldn't make the big save tonight, but the evidence suggests a bounce back game on the horizon. Can the Avs close out this series on the road in Game 6, or will Ball Arena host a winner take all Game 7 on Tuesday?
