Game 6 debate: Which Avs player needs to step up for Colorado to stave off Tampa Bay?

The Avs are the team with more talent. The Lightning is the team with more belief. So what wins out? Talent, provided it steps up for Colorado.

I’m not pointing a finger of blame here. But defenseman Cale Makar has done everything coach Jared Bednar could ask. And more. Nathan MacKinnon, who has tallied only a single goal in this series, needs to take on a heavier burden. The Lightning has gotten in his grill . My concern? The pounding has started to get inside MacK’s head. There’s no time to be flustered now.: Through five games, Mikko Rantanen leads the Avalanche with eight points so you’re probably asking, “Hey, genius, No.

He is a natural goal scorer and does terrific work on the forecheck with his quick stick and willingness to be physical. But if the Avs are to win the Cup on road ice, they need Rantanen to break through with a goal.: Nathan MacKinnon looks good but he’s not getting the job done. If Colorado doesn’t get more than a goal off his skate in this series this club could be in trouble. They don’t ask how in hockey. They ask how many? But MacKinnon can’t be happy either way.
