It does seem like the Avs always seem to have an extra level of play their elite players can elevate into once playoffs start... The Oilers seem to be doing the same right now... the Canucks, meanwhile, seem to have a snare since the all-star break and has not been able to regain its form. I'm feeling more and more that, even if the Canucks come out of round one, they would not be a match for the Oilers - the 4:0 regular season head-to-head record means absolutely nothing.
These are the 2 best defensive teams. Left in the playoffs. The reason they look so bad. It's because they are both making it nearly impossible to get any offense moving.
@@glennhankins6927 Colorado does not play defense. They rely on lethal offense. And when faced with a high power defending team, they struggle and their goaltending lets them down.
@@golfer435 Georgiev's goaltending was rock solid, as was their defence in the 4 Colorado wins. The high powered Winnipeg offence could only manage 2 goals in game 2....2 goals in game 3.... 1 goal in game 4. Winnipeg was favoured by every expert, but Colorado's strength in ALL aspects, Goaltending, Defence and Offence.
John Shannon is amazing. He speaks rationally.
Bob Cole was a gem.
RIP Bob

Playnow favors the Preds to win Game 6
Of the 16 playoff teams,the only team worse than Vancouver is Nashville. Painful series to watch.
You have no idea what you're talking about.

@@golfer435 Delusional. Dallas, Colorado and Boston are the best defensive teams right now.

I love the Canucks… but I cannot stand EP. That “kid” is pathetic and has no grit or heart. Wish we traded him when we could.
He’s got a hairline fracture on his left wrist.
@@AxionXIII It must have happened at the NHL All-Star Game then...... because he's been awful since then.
@@AxionXIII source?
@@AxionXIII No he doesn't
We dare you to say that to Petey's face.
