  1. Guys if you go by the numbers of the playoffs team stats. That alone will tell you this going to be a tough series. Colorado is not running through Vegas. If they do it's going to be 1 goal games if vegas lose in 4 or 5gms. If vegas plays like they have in past 2 rounds. We are going to see some of the best hockey this playoffs. This series is going 6 or 7 games. I'm pulling for vegas but I really do think its a toss up here. Get ready for a helluva series boys.

  3. Vegas earned the spot in the WCF, and beat the teams they had to play. Cant blame them for who was in front of them. You cannot also pretend that they are not facing one of the best teams we have ever seen constructed, and one who has happily beat the teams playing the games they wanted to play. The kings tried slowing things down, and that went well, then Minnesota tried everything they could, and got beat in a variety of ways. Nothing VGK has done has shown they have the ability to beat the Avs 4 times, and neither have either team in the East. Though what happens in the ECF can for sure change that

  5. I love it when Toronto fans pick against the Avs. It's like they have only ever seen bad playoff hockey and when they see good hockey, they expect it to fail. No boys, not everybody is as bad as the leafs. Some teams really are that dominant.

  9. While Torts is a great addition for the Knights, the Avs are not the same team when Vegas last met them in the regular season. As long as they're not complacent (let's be real; they're on a mission), they'll get through this series like they did MN. Avs in 5.

  10. Colorado is the better team on paper and should win this one. The longer the series goes, the more it will play into Vegas' favour. Either the Avs close it out in 4/5 or Vegas beats them in 7.

  11. Every last 1 of these idiots picked Minnesota to beat Colorado… and THEN, didnt even have the BALLS to create 1 single video afterwards because they were made to look so dumb 😂 this show went down the drain a long time ago. Absolutely pathetic

  17. The same argument against the Wild, team defense is basically the same, yet Vegas rolls out like 100 total points from their 6 d and the Avs double that, guess what happened against the Wild? Avs D put up points and outside of Hughes there was no productive Wild D, at least you pick COL after you spend the whole video saying how much better Vegas is….

  19. VGK you had a good season, but you can't match the high-powered offense and depth of Colorado. After watching Carolina dominate the first two rounds, I think they win over Montreal in six. Then the Av's depth would likely win the Stanley Cup in six to wrap the season up.

  25. Injuries hurt colorado more because their top end talent
    carries that team. A lot of avalanche glazers are now having doubts about this series, many are saying it's going to be a coin flip series.

  27. They finally figured it out after all picking Minnesota for the last round. 😂The last time these 2 teams played was like the 4th to last game of the season. Avs were resting several guys and almost everyone else was playing at like 80% since they already had the West #1 seed wrapped up. Vegas still hadn't clinched, had pretty much everyone healthy and the Avs still took them to the shootout. Avs won both of their other 2 meetings in Vegas. It does worry me Makar is not 100%, but I'll still take a 75-80% Makar any day over Ahcan or Blankenberg. This Avs fan has them winning in 5 or 6 games.

  28. Avalanche needs to end the series quickly because the opponent they're playing has depth and size. It will not go well for colorado if this series goes beyond five games. The golden knights blue line depth and physical forecheck
    can wear down colorado over a long series.

  36. Vegas were kinda getting outplayed in both of their series and that was against two pretty weak opponents and they won because those teams had horrendous goaltending and team defense. The Avs are going to be a huge rude awakening for Vegas

  37. I think itll be 4-2 Vegas. Colorado will win the first game, but vegas gets to their game as series goes on. I think the better D wins this.

  45. After round 1, I wasn't impressed with Vegas and thought Avs toughest test throughout was going to be the Wild (Including SCF)… After round 2 Vegas seemed to find some consistency and confidence… Now, I believe Avs will win in 6, but if Vegas gains even more confidence by stifling Avs scoring and causing doubt, then they have a chance for sure imo… Of course, injuries may be the deciding factor too for both teams.
