Quick note, Avs is playing without captain for two years now

[@syndicat4847]

I'm leaning towards the Avs in this series, but Georgiev has to keep playing consistently well. They need to minimize the turn overs and defend well against the Stars transition game. If Dallas can keep Avs to the outside and effectively block shots, passing lanes, and clog up the neutral zone, like they did against Vegas, they will win.

[@HeavyHustleBreaks]

Key word. Vegas. Colorado is not Vegas. Stars have their hands full here

[@zubiecup]

​@HeavyHustleBreaks Vegas won the Cup last year, and they were an even deeper team this year. They were a first-place team until the "suffered injuries." Don't underestimate the competition Dallas just faced.

Yes he’s projected to come back! Thanks for the reminder

[@TravisWhitmire-ws4hw]

Nobody stays with him, nobody ever has

[@jasonmonroe9018]

@@TravisWhitmire-ws4hwyou should watch him this year. He’s completely transformed his game into a responsible two way winger. Playing with Mack has changed how he plays hockey entirely. He was a monster over the last few months of the season.

[@askmeinstead-we5jm]

Surprised no one has talked about coaching. Pete Deboer has the Avs number. As a long time Avs fan, his smarts scare me more than anything on the ice. He's beaten them twice in game 7 with two different teams. He seems to have a very successful way of slowing them down.

[@shaneb.7741]

Some interesting things about this point. The 2019 game 7 win was a second seed against the 8th seeded (figuring things out) Avs. Landy was onside and the hockey gods know it. In 2020, the bubble Avs were on their 3rd string goalie and Cale had cut Landy's prebionic knee. Either some crazy thing is going to happen this series and continue DeBoer's lucky streak or the Avs are going to continue to cast away demons on the way to another cup. But the hockey gods owe Landy.

[@askmeinstead-we5jm]

@@shaneb.7741 Deboer was the coach in Vegas that beat the Avs in 7 games. He essentially sacrificed the first game against the AVS to rest the starting goalie as long as possible. Vegas did an amazing job slowing the Avs down in that series.

[@shaneb.7741]

@@askmeinstead-we5jm That series only went 6 so I didn't include it but agree that Vegas did a great job. The real point is the Avs, with this core, seem to be pushing through previous roadblocks. Couldn't get past the 2nd round...check. Bednar couldn't beat Bowness in the playoffs...check. Beating DeBoer would be a nice demon to cast away.

[@askmeinstead-we5jm]

Vegas was a 7 game series and so was the sharks.

[@broncosbeat8539]

The Avs Stanley Cup team tolled the league. Last year they had so many injuries and were praying to have Landeskog back. This year they've retooled. Theyre still feeling it out but I'll take the team with Mackinnon and Makar.

[@robertrubey6594]

Nothing against Dallas but everyone keeps underestimating Colorado

[@wyattmays7341]

Same with us bro, we get no love in the media unless we win the conference

[@davidvaughn7239]

You'll see why

[@bns9915]

Exactly....its not anything like last year, but Colorado has a few injuries. Landy, Dru and Kivi are all injured. However, both Dru(top 3 wing) and Kivi(4th line wing) will be back and playing in game 1 or 2. They both missed round one, and considering how important BOTH players are to that team, it's scary what they did to Winnipeg. Landy...nobody is sure...but if he comes back and plays even on the 3rd line...look out! And just for context....if u take out game 1...Georgiev has a .940 SP....so I think if the defense plays like they did in games 2-5, the Stars are gonna have a tough time scoring. Bottom line, if the Stars can't stop Mac, Mikko, Lecky, Val, Cale, Devon and Mitts....its gonna be an ugly outcome for the Stars.

[@wyattmays7341]

@@bns9915 I grant you those points because the Avs have star power, but the stars deserve all the credit they have earned as well for having 2 first lines, a second line and a third line, I know Colorado can “score at will” but the stars will always be on a scoring line. Vegas had to play such a grueling and slow NYI style of defensive hockey on us, and we still broke through. I’m excited for this series because it’s two different styles of oppressive offensive teams. The Best Road team vs the Best Home team. May the best teak win

[@bns9915]

@@wyattmays7341 agreed 💯 ! I am absolutely positive that whoever wins this series is going to win the Cup. Just think what the AVs did to an Oilers team in the WCF 2 years ago(with a BACKUP goalie) when everyone thought it was gonna be a close series 🤣. I can't wait for this series and I already have my tickets(201 1-2) for game 3 at Ball! LFG AVS

[@stormjorgenson807]

Georgie didn't just play great the second half of the series, what are you talking about? He played great through all 4 wins, which is 80% of the games. Only giving up 8 goals in those 4 games while scoring 22!! You really tried to talk up the Stars as much as possible, but it sounded like you're just trying to convince yourself. It's obvious that you know the Avs will win. Your ego just wouldn't let you go against your initial pick.

[@lilgrasshoppah]

nope

[@MatthewSmith-fy5hk]

Nice analysis. I would have liked to have heard more talk about special teams because I think that PP and PK are going to be as important in this series as it was in the VGK/DAL series. The Pietrangelo penalty that precipitated the GWG in game five pretty much put Dallas in a position where it was their series to lose and they didn't.

[@R_Kingdom_00]

I think once you start to break down the entire series-- you start to see who has the edge & where they MIGHT have it. But there's a small handful of things that you can't break down. Or you can't measure. Or determine. And "most" of those variables go in the Av's favor, IMO. Therefore, I think IF Colorado is able to forecheck consistently, amp up their speed & find ways to put constant waves of pressure on Oettinger... they eventually break thru. And we've seen flashes of what happens once that begins~ On the flip side... The Stars are a Texas sized beast in their own right. I believe they gotta stay disciplined in their own zone... get very VERY physical with the forwards on Colorado... and try NOT to rely on Oettinger to win it for them. Instead, remember what got them this far in the 1st place. Play together as a team! Something Winnipeg clearly forgot to do. Overall? Gonna be a thing of pure beauty! Colorado wants to play with a fast & furious style. Quick passes, superior skating, & constant pressure put on from the forwards. Dallas? The opposite! They want to slow things down, control the puck, and keep the Avs playing defense instead of offense by playing with a verrry physical & punishing style Avs over the Stars in 6

[@TJ_Loves2fish]

Dallas didn't get much production from their superstars in round one. They'll need production from top to bottom in this round because Ott won't be able to lock down the Avs like he did with the Knights. Should be a good series.

[@jeremygates9374]

Stars fan. A few things that could boil down the series: 4th line vs 4th line Home Ice Goalie matchup Coaching matchup the longer it goes Can the stars hold the Avs speed to the edges and frustrate the Avs forwards? Who makes that ONE back breaking mistake? Role players.. Having taken all of this into consideration, I’ve got Stars in 7 in OT! Think it’s going to be a CLASSIC series like series past! Good luck to both squads and may the best team win 👍🏼 #GoStars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@stormjorgenson807]

The best team is the Avs, and they won't take it to game 7.

[@dannyjackson5356]

Well if history does indeed repeat itself then this series will either be a beatdown in 5 with the avs taking it, or dallas will grind out a win in 7. That sounds about right to me. If the avs can wear down the defense, which being against rolling 5 man d squad in the playoffs is attainable, they can smear this group. If Dallas can keep the avs playing close and tight games dallas could steal this one from the avs.

As electric as the Avs were against Winnipeg they just had no answer for them. They let them glide thru zones and virtually do whatever they pleased. Got into a track meet and couldn’t keep up. I think my boys in green will make this series physical, slow them down and keep things tight. If roope, Pavs, Seguin and Duchene can start some offensive production we have a real shot. It’s gonna be a hell of a series, rn Colorado looks like the best team. But also, Winnipeg was truly bad.

[@R_Kingdom_00]

Winnipeg was bad because Colorado was soo good, it made them LOOK bad! IF, and that's obviously a huuuge IF, Colorado can amp up their speed & pressure & consistently do it often... the Stars, try as they might, stand no chance.

How's that comment holding up there Jeff? Best to have at least a little knowledge of what you're talking about.....

[@LA-ly9mq]

So let me get this straight. The avalanche absolutely face rolled the Winnipeg Jets who were widely considered by most 'analysts' to be not only the deepest team in the West but also the best defensive team with the best goaltending. Meanwhile the Dallas Stars barely squeaked out a win against the 8th seed Golden knights who barely squeaked into the playoffs and have been playing pretty lousy hockey almost all year long which continued into the playoffs. Yes they are the defending cup champs but you cannot tell me that the team looked anything like what they did last year. And yet given the results of these two series you have all these wannabe analysts and KZbinrs taking Dallas over the avalanche in this series lol. The disrespect against the avalanche is unreal.

[@artpolamo877]

I'd argue that Vegas was better than the regular season record would lead you to believe. Vegas arguably has the most size in the NHL and despite the mediocre regular season, they are still the defending cups champs. Dallas looked sluggish the first two games but after game 2, they were clearly the better team.

[@stormjorgenson807]

I couldn't agree more!! Every game I saw this year that Vegas played I was surprised at how much worse they played then last year. I was happy to see it being an Avs fan.

[@stormjorgenson807]

@artpolamo877 argue away art, but it's a lost cause. They looked nothing like they did last year!! Are you delusional, or just that big of a fan that you don't see reality lol?

[@TravisWhitmire-ws4hw]

The offensive side is not equal… Avs in 6. Th only thing Dallas has is a better goalie and the Avs don’t care about goalies…

[@johnsanford-rb5cw]

These teams are not equal in talent - not even really close. The Ads are definitely better in forwards, and so is the defense corps. Goalie I'd concede Dallas may have an edge, but it isn't as huge as made out by these guys - who led the NHL in wins? Right - Georgiev. The GAA and shots stopped metrics may not be great, but doesn't that really argue that he's a middle of the road goalie, playing on a great team. So overall, there really is not contest. I'm expecting another Gentleman's Sweep here for the Avs - Dallas is good enough to get 1 home win (game 2), but if they don't get that, it's "Katies bar the door'. Ava and Rangers in the Finals, and that will be the only real test for either team - Avs in 6 or 7.
