I don’t know a ton about hockey but I go to a couple Avs game each year. I could be wrong but they clearly look like a much much faster team than Tampa? 

Speed isn't really Tampa's game. The Rangers were also much faster than Tampa. Ultimately, Tampa got their legs back and then just kept the pick from the rangers and stopped taking penalties. Tampa is much bigger into the forecheck game, grinding down the pace, utilizing actual puck skills, protecting the puck, etc.  The problem for them is that I think the Avs are also very good on the forecheck and the cycle and they are just a ton faster lol. The one advantage Tampa was supposed to have was in the net, and Vas has been really up and down in these playoffs.
