Series Talk: WCSF: Dallas Stars vs Colorado Avalanche | Stars lead 3-2

[JoeSakic13]

You are not playing the jets. Who cares how many you score on them.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Bewildering that teams were being so cheap about getting Tanev

Also great news for Conroy; the Dallas model is still alive

Avalanche offered first too, but they didn't want to take RyJo back.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Stars in 6. They’re the most complete team in the West. Colorado’s offense will be a challenge but I think Stars depth and huge goaltending advantage gives them a big advantage.

 

[ikonos]

Stars cycle well clogs neutral zone. Those 2 things give trouble to Avs. They have to be on top of their game this round to move on. I may be wrong on this but stars don't take too many penalties right?

 

[Go Wings]

To me whoever wins this series will go to the cup. Both teams are far better than Vancouver and Edmonton. I think Dallas will take it in 7.

 

[Outl4w]

Should be a fun series. I am rooting for Dallas.

 

[El Travo]

I'm ready to start hating the Stars again. Time for some revenge for the covid season.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

True. Dallas will take this easy. They are way better.

I don't see the Aves winning a game. They have holes everywhere and played a run and gun series vs a terrible Jets team. Barely pulled out a win vs a joke of an opponent.

 

[soothsayer]

I have a new-found respect and appreciation for Dallas, having taken out those pieces of shit Knights. But I have to go with Colorado here, though It's basically a coin flip. The cup winner is coming out of the West again, much to the surprise of those sleepy heads in the East. The West is just better.

 

[Avsfan1921]

No one is writing them off. I'm saying, Dallas will score a lot more against this team than Vegas. Didn't know it would be so controversial.

Nothing controversial at all, don’t let them get to you. Should be a fun series and I think both fanbases have reason for cautious optimism.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Just hope it doesn't go 7 games. Pete DeBoer is 8-0 now in Game 7's.

 

[lionsDen]

I’ll be rooting for whoever comes from this series.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Nothing controversial at all, don’t let them get to you. Should be a fun series and I think both fanbases have reason for cautious optimism.

Seemed like the most neutral common sense answer to give, just like how Colorado will score more on us than Vegas did. LOL

 

[MBTendy]

Going to be one hell of a series.

Another in the history book between these two franchises

 

[TatteredTornNFrayed]

Well, it worked against the Jets, so I'll say Stars in 7.

 

[Dr Amazing204]

Avalanche time folks Avs in 7 fam

Go Avs Go .

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Despite not having a good season, I think this is another big goalie mismatch on paper (Hellebyuck sucks in the playoffs though). Dallas is much more dangerous offensively than the Jets. I wonder if goaltending will do the Avs in THIS series.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Another super tough series.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

This is going to be a great series. Dallas looks composed than ever to get back to the final 4. I think Dallas's depth will be too much for Colorado to overcome. Dallas bottom 6 are far better than Colorado's bottom 6.

Avs are also going to open up (unlike Vegas) so expect more offense from Dallas in this series.

 

[FMichael]

I gotta admit - this version of the Dallas Stars circa 2024 is a team a ‘boomer’ like myself can get behind (team with a lot of savvy vets)…

All Aboard!

 

[Frobbo]

The highest cap hit team remaining? Colorado.

After that it's Vancouver. Dallas could run the West while not facing a single cap compliant team.

Landeskog still not recovered to play, they are cap compliant. Don't confuse them with Vegas.

 

[Avsfan1921]

Despite not having a good season, I think this is another big goalie mismatch on paper (Hellebyuck sucks in the playoffs though). Dallas is much more dangerous offensively than the Jets. I wonder if goaltending will do the Avs in THIS series.

This will be the thing for every series, should the Avs win this one. The goaltending will be rightfully questioned until the moment they either win the cup or are eliminated. Save % aside, George is still scrambling like crazy and looks uncomfortable. The Avs will have to continue to build and improve upon their team D. I have no doubt the Avs will have good offensive moments in this series but how they handle a physical forecheck is still completely up in the air. Winnipeg didn’t test them in this aspect at all in rd 1.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

That’s gonna be a series for the ages, can’t wait. Avs in 6

 

[Xirik]

paper tigers in 5

Vegas was probably the hardest opponent in the West and they beat em.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

If Dallas can beat Vegas, they can beat Colorado. Colorado should be an easier matchup. Vegas has arguably the best blueline in the NHL, especially after acquiring Hanifin. Georgiev is also a huge step down to Thompson and Hill.
