1 person picked the Avs in 5, 1 in 6, and the others picked the Avs in 7. But 17 of the 24 “experts” picked the Stars. I think everyone is in for a rude awakening. Go Ass! Hail Satan!
Perfect. Give us that sweet sweet bulletin board material

I would guarantee 90% of the names on this list don’t even watch the sport. They see the Stars are the higher seed and are going with them.
beerbeatsbear
Let them bet against us. I prefer us being the underdogs in their eyes. We know what we have cooking
AMaliciousWatermelon
What people don’t know is that Ryan S. Clark is a savant when it comes to picking the winners of nhl playoff series. So I’m going to ignore the consensus and just treat his prediction as truth lol
ThunderGoalie35
I’d rather be the team that “surprises” all these fools anyway. Last year we got picked to smash the Kraken and that blew up in our face, be the underdog and win, why not
rlb_714
It’s ESPN, their opinions on hockey don’t matter.
arashinoko
These hacks just look at the standings and phone it in because they don’t actually know anything.
AuntGentleman
Avs are the only lower seed in the first round to win their series. We really wanna play this game again?
PlunkstonRutherford
That’s fine. Let them underestimate
kovalev23
Oh no! Both Messier and PK? But I respect their opinions so much…
awesomeness1234
I get that they are a better team, and that I am deeply biased, but when I watch the Avs play vs. the Stars, it is clear who the better playoff team is. I have a scary level of confidence.
quaglandx3
Fuck what LebronSports Network thinks about anything.
A6just
OG Denver fans know this is the way.
2ChainzTalib
What else is new? Most of them have it being a long series, so they’re taking the home ice team.
Lazy-Beginning-2483
They got no respect when they played Winnipeg. They just have to keep shutting them up by winning and making them look stupid.
PossessionGlad4638
A few of them would rather just watch the Avs burn. Then you have Leah whos favorite team we just smoked. This list means nothing lol
ejroberts42
Fine with me.
Holiday_Flow_7400
After begrudgingly listening to the ESPN commentators for the past two weeks I would be more worried if they had picked us to win. They’ve been delusional and inept in almost every aspect of announcing and commentating playoff hockey so far.
ockhamsphazer
If the stars play like they did last night I say we get the brooms out
Talinn_Makaren
We’re the most underrated wagon of a team ever. Georgiev had a weak end to the season and everyone decided the Avs suck.
Nate loves being the underdog. We play hard when “humble”. See Jets series. This is all part of the script.
Hakuchansankun
Denver is still a cow town. I like that.

Stars in 6 or Stars in 7 is a pretty “safe” pick if you’re one of these people that is looking that are touting their playoff pick records or betting. If you just look at seeding, home ice and goal tending it makes sense to lean towards Dallas. For us as fans it might just be a little wakeup that we’re in for a tough series, for anyone that thought we’d dispatch them as easily as the Jets.
allkindsofgainzzz
Good. ESPN sucks anyway. Boys will be ready to cook.
Waste_One_1473
Perfectly fine. We’ve beem the favorite so often the last several years, it is nice to be the underdog
erujones
This is exactly the way I like it.
swifwar
Don’t care for them. Underdog, whatsupdog don’t matter. Nate dawg in 6
mikess101
Let em keep picking against us, we saw how that worked out last round. The Stars barely got through an old, injured, slow, impotent Vegas team. Recency Bias is a thing, and everyone is jazzed about that Game 7, but the Avs are cookin right now, and our depth and superstars are ready to rock. ESPN can keep over-valuing the Stars all they want, Avs in 6. Arda Ocal is invited to the cookout though.
ilovedeliworkers
Were they watching that Vegas/Dallas series?
detached03
I read one “preview” of someone, I forget now which makes my story less exciting, but they mentioned how much better Dallas’s Defense is and goaltending than Winnipeg’s has been all season.
The kicker on the column was that game 3-4 were being played at the Pepsi Center.

That’s actually great less pressure being the underdog
-NolanVoid-
Fuck ESPN.
frostyjack06
Have you watched the ESPN broadcast? Most of the time I wonder if we’re even watching the same game when they give their intermission commentary.
SlapChop7
It’s actually crazy how everyone has seemingly written off the Avs. I see most bracket picks with Dallas/Edmonton vs Flordia/NYR. Did everyone miss that this Avs team is essentially thecup winning team with a number of great 3rd/4th line pickups? Firing on all cylinders?
Useful_Particular_80
Espn is just a bunch of bullshit when they talk about hockey. Sorry but 2 minutes in and I’m already on Altitude
KyleMacBean42
I love that so many analysts are out here picking Dallas. Keep underestimating the Avs. Fuel their fire! 🔥
keithlaub
I think the real takeaway is that everyone expects this to be a hell of battle, and I can’t say I disagree with them.
PhredInYerHead
We don’t need any respect from anyone. We just need the cup and to let the haters hate.
Rare-Lifeguard516
well, we just got to show them, right boys? Go Avalanche, All In

Anyone who picks 7 is saying it’s a coin toss and they don’t know

But none picked the Stars in less than 6
Didn’t they all pick the Jets too?
