Samsonov should have poke-checked on the Avs OT goal.
Seath The Scaleless
Paledrake
Wood was shot out of a cannon there, blowing by Heiskanen. Great goal
Colorado overcomes bad goaltending in the first period. Leafs goalies allow 1 goal and it's the end of the world because they can't score.

Seriously, how can everyone on the Avs team looks like they can all skate, pass, shoot and hit.
Miles Wood was never that fast or with this type of finishing.
Manson never can skate like this or make a pass(throughout the game) with the Ducks.
Maybe it is the Mack's diet.

Someone kept saying it is the momentum of the game....whenever a goalie let in a weak goal, the forwards just can't score anymore bc they lose the momentum.

I'm sure being in high altitude most of the year also helps. Avs team is insanely fast and fit

All in New England.
This is why I keep saying they need the big markets. A Rangers Bruins eastern final would draw decent numbers.

Colorado also seemed to have no problem against one of the best goalies in the league last series as well. You would think they would have been goalied. Oh well. Refs must of helped them.
Avs look destined again. Feels like they can flip a switch whenever and win games.

If it happens, a Colorado vs. Edmonton Western Conference Final is going to have a lot of goals scored in it.

Fortunately the NHL doesn’t have to compete with football, HS, College or the NFL.
Still can't figure out how they lost to Seattle in the first round last year.
Fatigue I guess
Yeah, I would chalk that up to a hangover and no Kadri replacement.

It's just one of many examples in this series where he wasn't ready to make the physical sacrifice to make the play. He could have scored there but chose to stay on the perimeter to avoid a potential hit. Seems pretty clear cut to me.
They basically replaced the entire bottom 9 since last year. Once Nichushkin disappeared they had zero forwards other than Mack/Rantanen/Lehkonen.

So is the Lindsay considered the greater award due to the fact it's voted on by your peers?

Edmonton fans: "No."
My takeaway from that voting is that Matthews exceeded expectations and had a very rare historic season scoring 69 goals, while McDavid didn't meet expectations by not winning the Art Ross and finishing 3rd (as crazy as that sounds when you put up 130+ points), even with him hitting 100 assists.
Don't see any downfall in that voting. Either way, they'd finish 3rd anyways because the other two are more deserving and I'm sure their peers recognized as such.

According to the HF peanut gallery, it depends on the recipient.
I was just reading some.
Apparantly the Writers Association is dumb, the players are dumb. Only HF posters know who is deserving of nomination

It's hard to understand PHWA and the voting criteria though. IMO Lemieux should've won Hart in 89 and Iginla should have won in 02. (Iginla did win the Pearson in 02 but Lemieux didn't in 89.)
