I guess we started a trend…

Such a punchable face. Don't mind the avs players, except for him and MacKinnon.

From a hockey fan POV it would've been awesome to see the series with a capable Brayden Point, or even a Tampa team that had the Gourde line.

Colorado really carried the series, even in game 5 they were great, but Tampa wasn't at the level they should've been for the legendary final we'd hoped for.

Avs aren't complaining but it would've been awesome to see this war waged a year earlier when Tampa had depth & weren't running on fumes.

With our roster from last year we would have won the cup. Not because we were clearly better than Avs but because all that much depth against Kuemper would have been too much for them to overcome.

Cap happens though

I tend to agree. Tampa was really a 1 line offensive team against the Avs, its not what we had seen the previous years.

Colorado has gamebreakers that can make the difference, so I wouldn't rule them out entirely even against a Tampa with Point & the Gourde line, lets say.

But the fact Tampa took it to 6 with 1 offensive line (and many player on fumes) leads me to give them the advantage if the depth was equal coming into it.

We could have much more chances even with this team if we hadn't like 8 key players playing through massive injuries,if they at least were banged lesser. Don't say that avs because of that,but we could had much better chances
And yes Point. 2-3 goals in this series could make big difference,but but but...hopefully we can take some cups before window closes

Our fanbases do share the special bond of seeing the glory that was Post Season Chris Dingman.

I was rooting for you in 2015, when George Gwozdecky was on the bench.

Avs fan, was unable to post for 2 months. Just wanted to say that you guys were the best fan base I had the pleasure of encountering in the playoffs to date.

Good luck next season, sorry for the bump on this thread.
