No the others that you mentioned. I saw the Kansas thread but that was after the tourney had started and that thread also made it seem like you were still debating

How did they do against the best teams from the East this year before the Landeskog injury? As a former juniors player and short stint in the minors...the game has changed. There aren't any big open-ice hits anymore and I've watched lots of hockey this year. A few hits on the boards still. You can even look at the players. They aren't built for major checking.

So, will they start all this checking when the playoffs begin? If they don't, then the chances go way up that nobody will beat Colorado. There are a couple teams in the west that gave them trouble during the season. Certainly, 3-4 teams from the East that could give them trouble in the Cup Finals.

I'm not convinced all this checking will re-appear because players aren't used to it anyway. I really won't know until I watch the first few games. The game has changed 100%. They lost me when they stopped body checking. I could live without all the fights, but no checking......its not real hockey to me. Fun and entertaining, but not real hockey.

They used to take their helmets off and drop them for fights. Now, they leave the helmets on and have these half-shields. I'm not even sure how you can land a clean punch.

LOL
Who owns the Avalanche?
The Rams owners wife.
Which basically means he owns them too.

But ohhhh, not remotely suspicious if you hey make Stanley cup.....?
Nope, nothing to see here.........

I remember hearing 2 or 3 years ago that they were a team on the rise.. Stanley cup potential.
Predictive programming.

The Wild are the darkhorse.

[clockwise1965]

They look very good. Panthers, Lightning, Wild and Leafs also in the conversation.

[cankid]

Should be a fun playoff stretch and run!

[hehfest]

Colorado is soft

Its a soft league now. Hitting is prohibited.

I agree that u dont need a huge team that can hit to win any more

[slewfan]

St. Louis slowly getting healthy. Solid team for a long shot. Nobody paying them any mind.

The team with the hottest goalie wins the Cup. All the good teams are young, fast and talented.

[jjgold]

Coop knows

Canadian sharp

[HAPPY BOY]

Canadians HATE Florida hockey teams....they can't believe a place of sun and beaches should be in the NHL..two of the best in league Lightning..Panthers aye..

once again flordia comes out flat in post season,they never win in playoffs lol

colorado on fireeee

[sweethook]

carolina looks good at + 850

[svsooner]

St. Louis and Carolina are two of my favorite "longshots". Both are playing very well right now. Love to see those two in the finals!

[hehfest]

Hitting picking up a little here.......probably 3 teams in the West that can play with Colorado and potentially beat them in best of 7. Nashville, as you can see, is not one of them. I really don't think the Blues match up well either. Minnesota would give them a run for their $$$, but they may not get passed the Blues.

EDIT: In the East, I consider about the same....3 teams that could beat them.

[Goat Milk]

colorado is battle tested and a good team, problem is their odds every year only like 4/1, not good enough at all, if they ever go down 3-2 in a series they will be +250 on that series alone, so there is no point in betting this imo

Gee, I tell ya. Want a lot of goals in a game? Just have penalties called for over half a game. Power plays for almost half the game. I've never seen it this bad. Has me thinking with them having the ESPN/TNT/TBS contracts for the playoffs this is their plan.

There almost there. Just keep adding black players to the rosters and have them make a major impact and we will give you your TV contract. We have to see this first.................

who beats colorodo after watching first round?

That first round meant nothing. Nashville was garbage.

[MiDNiTe]

Have only watched a few games but impressed with Toronto, think they can go super deep, need them to kick out b2b champs today
