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

Alright, before we get started on the game itself, I’ve gotta give some love to the folks here at Rogers Place. This building is amazing. State of the art top to bottom, and absolutely beautiful in every sense of the word. Literally everything you’d want in a hockey rink, I couldn’t be more impressed. Really the whole city of Edmonton,…...

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

With the return of Devon Toews, it was back to business in dominating fashion for the Avs against the St. Louis Blues. With just two regular-season games left the only thing left to prove lies in the playoffs. https://youtu.be/9cTIskcplVg

Despite a slow-paced loss to the Capitals the Avs still feel like they gained valuable knowledge out of this game and are set to be the toughest team to play in the playoffs. https://youtu.be/HG1WqtFemEA

The Avs brought their A-game and the Kings had no choice but to cede power to the dominant force. For Cale Makar, this game good have larger implications when it comes to season-ending awards. https://youtu.be/Vg-QsrBAFqQ

Even with a depleted lineup, the Avs find massive value in their forward core and goaltending, particularly when it comes to special teams. Finding ways to win in this form is just another feather in the cap of the best team in the west. https://youtu.be/njcYDcI5PnM

The Avs continue to make winning look easy against the weaker teams in the west, with top-end talent that other teams just can’t handle most nights don’t require maximum effort. https://youtu.be/RhEdZExNhiw

With special teams finding their step once again the Avs make any opponent with any style seem trivial. With the roster in flux, Mikko Rantanen is showing he can step it up if he wants to. https://youtu.be/8TZeiPIwjk8

The Avs ability to consistently make even decent NHL teams look like routine wins should stand as a statement about how good Colorado really is. A game led by the forward core felt like a refreshing break for the Avs defense. https://youtu.be/rwbyauNpzRY

The Avs kick off the post All-Star break stretch with a statement win in a game that showed off some of the best the NHL has to offer. With Elite goaltending getting them across the finish line the Avs may finally be at their best. https://youtu.be/evdRQoZkjIQ

The Avs rhythm of letting teams hang around but finding a way to get the job done continues, with Val Nichushkin stepping up for the Avs on the offensive side of the puck. https://youtu.be/QycTynQ2lxY

Earlier this week the Colorado Avalanche played back-to-back games in southern California to cap off a two-game road trip, and the word that was most often used to describe the way they played in those two games was “tired”. Those were the team’s sixth and seventh games within 11 days, including three sets of back-to-backs, so it was easy to…...

The Avs mark their third quality win against a good team in the last four. As the top forwards find their groove the Avs continue to get quality scoring from their depth options even with a weakened defense. https://youtu.be/8Y_nCUmvJhI

Maybe the Avs can just outscore all of their problems. In a game where even the goalie is getting points, if it’s not broke don’t fix it. The sustainability remains highly in doubt but take it while it lasts. https://youtu.be/M01etai1C0k

The Avs final put together a standard win against the Montreal Canadiens. With well-rounded play from the entire lineup, the penalty kill played a crucial role in getting the Avs going. https://youtu.be/bjSRT9lT140

The Avs are starting to make blowouts routine with another 5 goal game. The offensive confidence seems to be on the rise throughout the entire forward core and Cale and Naz can’t stop, won’t stop. https://youtu.be/Ejk3bMzx_Fs
