Avalanche or Panthers - Which is the better team?

[Coffey]

Who is better now and going forward into the playoffs.

 

[Coffee]

The team that doesn’t haven’t to claw through three of Dallas, Winnipeg(courtesy) , Vegas/Vancouver/Edmonton

 

[Pablo El Perro]

The team with more points in less games, a far better goal differential, and without as many key players injured or in the player assistance program.

Until the Panthers can go back in time and win the 1996 Cup, you have to take the Avalanche here

What lol, what does that have to do with today's teams?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Coffey Thing is trying to lol, help and vote.

 

[Despote]

Avs, their key players elevate more in the playoffs.

 

[leafsfan5]

FLA is arguably the best team in the league right now imo

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

FLA seems a little more balanced in most key areas.
Not sure why COL won't get a legit #1 goalie?
Florida put up 12 on them in 2 games, took both games convincingly.

I get playoffs are different but Panthers can win many different ways and unsure the depth scoring and goaltending of COL would hold up vs FLA in 7 game series.

Glad to see you're beginning to be disabused of that.

If not for the Avs falling flat on their face last year in the playoffs I'd pick them assuming they'd pick up their play in the playoffs, but Panthers clearly look better and have since the start of last year's playoffs so I'd take them.

 

[Regal]

Florida is just the deeper team right now, and can beat you in more ways. Avs are still super dangerous due to their stars, and I think they can beat anyone if they’re on, but I think Florida is more likely to go deep again.

What was it you said about what most people think?

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

I'm not at all intimidated by the Avs this year, they're a shell of their cup winning team. 3 players are carrying them on their shoulders and they as well as their goalie will be burnt out come playoffs.

 

[dirtydanglez]

avs. they should have landeskog and nichushkin back for playoffs. goaltending could be an issue

 

[BlueDream]

Well one of these teams went to the Cup last year, currently has more points than the other, and also beat the other 4-0 just today.

You’d have to be a major Avs homer or on drugs to not pick the Panthers.

My mind is changed.
I see the public has spoken!

 

[Spilot23]

We still have the same issues we've had against the Kraken which is secondary scoring. Now add our goalie and defense as a whole that aren't playing well. I would say the Panthers are the better team now and going into the playoffs unless CMac pulls something off like a #2C and backup goalie like Fleury. In reality we probably end up with a Lars Eller trade again

 

[Bounces R Way]

Panthers right now, could change at the deadline if the Avs patch some holes.

 

[BB88]

Colorado is just way too top heavy right now for a legit run
