The best way to watch a Stanley Cup Final game is with friends.
Whether you’re in Ball Arena, out with a crew, at a buddies house or on your couch, it’s also fun to connect with fellow fans on Twitter.
The Avalanche pulled out a thrilling 4-3 OT win in Game 1 against the Lightning, and here’s how some of the best tweets looked throughout the night.

Just gave the 2nd half of my cheeseburger to a random stranger at Ball arena who asked me how long the burger line was. Not sure why I offered, not sure how he accepted. But that’s community right there. 3

What a pass from Nikita Kucherov to Ondrej Palat to make this a one goal game. pic.twitter.com/6Z5qPvI6lu

Another thought I forgot to tweet before the game started: the Avs can’t afford to lose any game in this series where they score 3 or more goals

Playing All the Small Things in a tie game with 10 minutes left, where you don’t seem to have the momentum, feels a bit presumptuous, but I do love the chorus
