These Avs cannot. They are too good, too deep. A third straight collapse from the first shift of sand under their feet is too hard to believe.Don’t you think?While the failures since the 2022 season were unnerving — a vanishing player, suspect coaching and an unplugged power play — another exit with parting gifts courtesy of the Golden Knights would be the worst.continued

Four teams remain alive in the postseason, with several legit candidates for playoff MVP.

Andersen, 36, is a perfect 8-0 as Carolina became the first team to sweep the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs under the modern format, which started in 1987. He has a .950 save percentage and a 1.12 goals-against average. The favorites Mitch Marner RW, Vegas Golden Knights Marner was essentially the co-leader for the Conn Smythe in our polling, finishing right behind Andersen for the top spot.

Avs Drop Game 1 Of The WCF -
from Sean Keeler of The Denver Post,Too little, too Nate.“I’m worried, to an extent,” Avalanche fan Jesse Klus confided as we’d huddled at the glass in front of Ball Arena’s Section 140, less than hour before Colorado got jumped by Vegas, 4-2, in Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. “But I have faith. We have a team where if one guy goes down, it’s the next-man-up mentality.”The next men turned up. Kind of. But none of that adds up to squat if the Avs’ leading men take two-and-a-half periods to get their bleepin’ heads in the game.“We just weren’t sharp,” Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon reflected later. “Execution was poor from everybody. Yeah, just gotta be sharper than that.”Especially when you’re already rolling onto the ice a legend short. In the Avalanche’s first postseason game without defenseman Cale Makar since 2023, Colorado’s other pillars were MIA until the final 5 minutes.By the time vintage Nate Dogg joined
