The Stanley Cup Final continues as the Avs drop Game 5 at home missing on their first attempt to win the Stanley Cup. Through five games this series has lived up to the hype. https://youtu.be/9iHyXXlv8n0

The dream is within reach as Nazem Kadri lifts the Avs to a 3 – 1 series lead with an OT goal for the ages. Colorado gutted out a crucial win and now only needs to do what they’ve done best this year. Close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSXqWY0VBYU

The Avs played their worst period of the playoffs in this game and got what they deserved from it. Team-wide, the Avs will have to step it back up to stay in control of the series but they do maintain a 2 – 1 lead over Tampa. https://youtu.be/k11AiK_x2xw

The Avs just played the best game maybe any team has ever played in a Stanley Cup Final. Sheer dominance for a full 60 minutes left a Tampa team with all the experience in the world feeling something new. A blowout loss to go down 2 – 0 in the Final. https://youtu.be/Dkb1vsX8ywA

What more could you ask from Game One of the Stanley Cup Final? Banger game, all world plays, big finish a full series of that is a dream for fans with no rooting interest and a rollercoaster for those who do. https://youtu.be/f1bvXp3OiTY

The Avs are in the Stanley Cup Final. That pretty much sums it up until the final round begins. https://youtu.be/eEUj3MkQJSM

You may be convinced you could hold your breath to the bottom of the Marianas trench after that. The Avs defeat Edmonton for the third straight game to take a vice grip hold on the Western Conference Finals. JT Compher has chosen the right time to get hot. https://youtu.be/YQaZNzUbItE

The Avs take a 2 – 0 series lead in what was probably the best executed game of the playoffs for far for Colorado. The 2nd line and the backup goaltender bother showed out in the game of twos. https://youtu.be/Iia4JKRfAnk

Everyone was expecting superstar power in this series and Game 1 was chock-full. The Avs ultimately got scoring from everywhere in the lineup to take down a win in a 14-goal game where defense and goaltending were more suggestions than anything else. https://youtu.be/qAEOddwn62s

The Avalanche are back in the Western Conference final for the first time in 20 years thanks to their forward depth. The St Louis Blues got to play the sacrifice as the Avs finally slew their Round 2 demons. https://youtu.be/yADuV00FWYs

The demon yet lives. Nathan MacKinnon cannot be the lone hero in this journey to the Western Conference Finals. The only good news here is the Avs get more opportunities to win the series. https://youtu.be/byJ0hbKCIPw

There aren’t a lot of moments in hockey I can earnestly say I’ll never forget. Kadri’s hat trick in this game has absolutely earned that status. The Avs continue to finish business taking a 3 – 1 series lead back home for Game 5. https://youtu.be/I1E8EbAc4_o

A solid all-around game marred by injuries on both sides sees the Avs come out on top to take a 2 – 1 series lead. With production coming from every forward line the Avs seem to outmatch St. Louis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgCPyXJygmM

The Avs drop their first game of the playoffs to level their second-round series at 1 – 1 against the St. Louis Blues. With poor execution and a lack of urgency, this needs to be the Avs floor if they want to contend for the cup. https://youtu.be/hoTIHdoK6H8

The Avs get an elite performance out of Sam Girard and Josh Manson on their second pairing to escape OT with a W in Game 1 against the Blues. With dominant 5-on-5 play across the board, the Avs should feel confident going deeper into the series. https://youtu.be/cq_ym2Nbf3E

Despite a scary moment with Darcy Kuemper the Avs continue to make the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs look routine. With Gabe Landeskog leading the way Nashville is unable to keep up. https://youtu.be/eVbFe7C5ogg

The Avs overcome Connor Ingram playing incredibly well and take down the Nashville Predators in OT to go up 2 – 0 in the series. An exceptionally well-played game finished by an exceptional player. https://youtu.be/T4W4nbaTizM

The Avs started the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a bang dropping seven goals on the Nashville Predators and confirming the plan all along was to come out and dominate in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. https://youtu.be/ILOBY-Y-ilg

As the Avs skaters start to ramp up towards the playoffs Darcy Kuemper has been battling a bit. With a loss placed squarely on his shoulders is it something to be concerned about or can it be brushed off? https://youtu.be/zE9FE1a8HcM
