I followed them closely all year. I don't think anyone but Avs fans had an idea of how fast they do things. Not just skating speed, but the speed of their decisions is rare. I expect Tampa to really try to take it to the boards next game which is another battle the Avs thrive in.

Well yeah. A lot of it and some luck.

I'm not really thinking about it too much. Just enjoying the hockey being played.

They are just having a year. Half the team probably put up best seasons ever.

I knew they were good but I would say in the playoffs they have been an extra 10% better.

It honestly shows that about 31 teams are a long ways off if one team sweeps every opponent.

I think i saw somewhere they have 9 top 10 picks on that team. Drafted, traded or signed. That's nuts.

If Colorado sweeps the Lightning, does that make St. Louis the 2nd best team, as they would have been the only team to beat Colorado, not just once, but twice.

Good luck…hit em straight.

Shot 80 from the back tees. Tough course for a 40-40. My scratch partner shot 75 the other two were 86-78 so we took the $400. Each put in $100 so at least I doubled the cash today but spent $25 at Horse Racing and didn't cash a ticket lol. Fun day all and all. Just getting caught up on the Jays comeback the F1 race in Montreal. I see Zalatoris is the Brides maid again...but played very well. That kid will win a major. Damn good day for Sports

Doesn’t matter what we do, won’t get by the avs for years, no one in the west will.

Avs need to win this year. They'll be beatable. No way they can retain that full squad.

So you think they’re all becoming Flames?
K-man will be happy seeing that Johnny hockey will be gone.

My off season wish list sorting itself out.

Trade Miller.

Sign Copp to 5.25 for 7 years.

Trade Garland for Marino.

Sign Kuzmenko.

Sign Lazar for cheap.

Trade Myers.

Offer sheet Nic Roy.

In a perfect world Pearson, Garland OEL, Myers and Richardson would all be gone.

There's your 5 players.

We got very very lucky vs Minny, STL and eventually Vegas. Doesn't mean crap during the covid thingy. Team should have technically not been in the PO's. Experts have said....

I'd be happy if they moved 3 of them.
