Very awesome to see this crazy it's been like 11 years or so since winning a dang playoff round. Bednar does really seem to be getting lost in the shuffle here. He's been a tremendous coach this year. Just goes to show ya, your goal should be to just make the playoffs and worry about your first round matchup. Don't be so caught up in the fact that you can't beat a top seed or even in Tampas case the massive Prez trophy winning team around. They got thumped and I am still a bit shocked just as a humble Stamkos is.

MacKinnon is a monster.

The last time we won a playoff series we had names like Sakic Wolski Svatos Smyth Stastny Hannan Jose Theodore...just flipping crazy. We will give Vegas a run for their money, no pun intended

Rooting for you guys on the West side. Love the way this team plays, and the addition of Makar has been fun to watch as well.

Grubaurer is also playing lights out. May need a little more from the bottom lines if Vegas is next. But overall Avs looking real dangerous … Well done boys.

Congrats on taking down the top seed, impressive.

Grubauer seems like the real deal. Hard to tell if it's just a hot goalie or if he's really becoming a star. He was lights out down the stretch (against my team in fantasy).

MacKinnon will get the attention he deserves. Incredible player.

MacKinnon is easily a top 5 player in the league, could even argue top 3. Dudes a (frank)ing beast.

I think the playoff experience from last season played a big role in these playoffs. Taking Nashville to 6 games pushing them hard set them up for success this year

Money in the bank. Grubauer was great, MacKinnon is an animal, got secondary scoring & Avs are hot at the right time! Should I push my bet in Round 2?

Who do want in Round 2? I lean towards San Jose because they are slower and Avs can abuse with their speed, but Avs have had a damn hard time with them for a while now.
