Maybe C would have been a better matchup for A, and A could have gone on to the conference finals, instead of going out in the first round. NHL managements aren’t immune to this. I don’t have any insider information on this, but I’d be shocked if they’d figured out a way to stop asking what if?
When you become the first defenseman ever to score 10 points in four games in NHL playoff history, that’s undoubtedly going to make you the standout star he was. He’s only going to get better the longer he plays this season and from here on out in his young career if we weren’t aware of that already. Jackie: Makar seems, rightfully, the unanimous choice.
Standing in the way this time will be a nasty, experienced St. Louis Blues team familiar with grinding talented team like the Avalanche straight into the boards. This version of Colorado has been built tougher and meaner than years past. They no longer rely strictly on speed.
