I still like the color scheme you used for this. Well done!

Colorado wins 8-1 tonight.

 

[Despote]

Hoping for a long and gruelling 7 game series with lots of overtimes

 

[Ararana]

I think Dallas pops off early and scores two goals in the first 10 minutes while the Avs are shaking off the rust. Avs tie it up by the third and god only knows what happens from there.

Hopefully Bednar has a game plan for DeBoer's speed suffocation. He's had enough exposure to him in the postseason at this point to figure something out.

Speed is my x-factor in this series. If Dallas lets Colorado play with pace, Colorado will win. If Deboer gets the best of Bednar again and the Stars shut down the Avs speed in the neutral zone, the Stars will win.

Hopefully a good series that goes 7 4 OT's each game except game 7 which hits 20 OTs, then the Yotes descend from the rafters and win game 7

 

[John Mandalorian]

Colton and Wood pounding their 5 D on the forecheck has to be a point of emphasis for the Avs. Too much of a mystery box with Georgiev to feel extremely confident one way or the other.

These teams are pretty close. If they played 100 times, I expect it’d end up near 50-50. We should get a 7 game series here but you never know how the puck will bounce or who will go very hot/cold for a short spell. I have no idea how to predict this one, just along for the ride.

 

[Spilot23]

I'm not ready for that low camera angle !

 

[ElGuapo]

Stars haven't won a game one in 87 years.

I'm not ready for that low camera angle !

Amazing how great it is considering it's seven feet lower than NHL average.

 

[Coffey]

I'm super excited for this.
Gonna be an exciting as f*** series.

Unless someone bones it.

I'm not ready for that low camera angle !

Just imagine its a bigger Mullett Arena.

 

[eartotheground]

stars need to clog up the neutral zone like a 7-11 toilet.

I hate the camera angle in Dallas.

 

[Ararana]

More of this please.

As has been mentioned, need the Avs to get physical and high pressure on the Dallas dmen.
also, put some bodies on the young forwards and make them work in their own zone.

Colorado can sometimes get too 1 and done in the offensive zone, and that is when they get themselves bogged down. A fast paced game is fine, but when the Avs don't maintain some possession time in the offensive zone their forwards often extend their shifts which gets them hemmed in their own zone.

i guess bc it's what we see 41 times a year i've come to prefer it. other rinks views i feel like i'm a mile away from the ice.

That's perfectly fair! I was used to the camera angle at Mullett Arena as well as being used to the camera angle at Amalie Arena.

I'll take the Dallas camera angle over San Jose's any day.

More of this please.

we're all here for more punches to jamie benn's face, let's see some more!

Benn's hand flailing as he falls out of the frame will never not make me laugh

[dirtydanglez]

Perfectly said.

Here’s hoping for both teams to stay relatively healthy so we can maximize this series for what it can be

Oh and Go Stars

You sounded reasonable with the OT's, especially the 20 OT one, but then you had to go and make it impossible with the Yotes coming back lol

Impossible is Nothing.... maybe I've been listening to Addidas too much.
