People were counting them out against Toronto (lol) and NYR after they fell behind, not me. They're battle-tested and tough. The Avs might be talented enough to overcome that, though. They get one of them in Tampa, it's over. But if the Bolts get them both, it's anybody's series, IMO. I could see them trading games 5 & 6 and Tampa winning game 7 in Denver because they just seem inevitable.
I dunno. Vasilevski looked lost in game 1 in our series bc of the layoff, then he woke up. There was no layoff and he's still lost in game 2? Bring out the forks. They're done.

Interesting article on how the Avs turned it around:

The nine critical decisions that made the Colorado Avalanche a juggernaut

The Colorado Avalanche are no overnight success. Joe Sakic knows that better than anyone.

He was Colorado's captain when the franchise last won a Stanley Cup, in 2001. Now, 21 years later, Sakic is the architect behind the Avalanche's return to a Final.

Sakic took the reins as Colorado's executive vice president of hockey operations in 2013, after serving as an advisor starting in 2011. He has built the Avalanche into a beast, but it wasn't easy. Along the way there were tough decisions, lost seasons, coaching changes, heartbreaking losses, debilitating disappointments and painful doubt over whether Colorado would ever reach its potential.

Avs did not come to chew bubblegum that OT. Did not F around. Jumped on them the whole time.

Please die Tampa mini dynasty.
