Trash, overrated, weak, bad for the sport, going to get swept, going to be eliminated at home, going to lose in five, going to lose in six, going to lose in seven, going to lose in four next round. Hey, NRL here, If you have an idea regarding Vegas and would like to share it, make sure that it, is: First, rooted in fact. Second, not opinionated on the city. Third, based on true ball knowledge and not how we feel that day. I hope this finds everybody well, I know how hard it can be to see things you don’t want to happen occur, although for me, that hasn’t happened much as of late..

Wow. Absolute shocker in game 1. After a scoreless first period, Vegas turned it ON with 3 straight goals. But the Avalanche are still the best team in the NHL, and they didn’t back down. Nichushkin scored and then with 2 and a half minutes left MacKinnon makes an amazing play to set up Landeskog for a goal. Somehow, Nic Dowd beat every Av to the puck to hit the empty netter to end it. Embarrassing effort on that last play by Colorado. Carter Hart was absolutely incredible, making 36 saves on 38 shots.

This is the kind of game that cannot be explained with the shot totals, they are lying to you. Vegas was the better team most of the way. Colorado couldn’t maintain any significant pressure nor gain momentum until the 3rd period. The Avs looked nothing like the team they were in the first two rounds. You could blame rust, but I believe the absence of Cale Makar played a bigger role. From my perspective, that reared its ugly head most in the transition game. Basically, if Colorado didn’t have firm control of the puck, it felt like they were unprepared. Their D-core kept leaving guys open and they couldn’t stop Vegas’s transition nor execute their own. Thankfully, this game finally picked up in the 3rd period. The Avs finally figured out how to score in the 3rd, eventually made it 3-2 with a couple minutes to go, setting us up for a heart-racing ending. Only for Colorado’s poor transition game (backchecking) to cost them one last time. No idea how average skater Dowd won that race.

Vegas wasn’t better. Colorado just didn’t want to win. They played sloppily and lazily. Not put-together at all; completely unprepared. They were missing Makar, but that’s no excuse; Vegas is missing Stone and they still understand how to play cohesively as a team. Dowd’s goal demonstrates exactly what went wrong, no effort, no hunger, a lazy back check.
