The Tampa Bay Lightning are favorites for the Stanley Cup Finals, and Russian Lightning goaltender Andrey Vasilevsky could play a major role in the game, said prominent hockey agent and pundit Alexei Dementiev.
Tampa defeated the New York Rangers in the sixth game of the semifinal series of the NHL playoffs (4-2 in the series). The Lightning will face the Colorado Avalanche in the final.
— I really liked the series, I liked the mood of both teams. Tampa did not expect such powerful resistance from the Rangers. Igor Shesterkin (goalkeeper) played superbly at the last frontier of the club from New York, he helped the team a lot. It can be seen that the Rangers have taken a big step forward in the development of the team. In the future it will be a very serious team. Tampa, in turn, proved its level, confidently and calmly came to victory in the series.
Final favorite? Colorado looks good, but the playoffs are a huge credit to the goaltenders. In this case, I will give preference to Andrei Vasilevsky, – quotes the words of Dementiev “Championship”.
