I truly think the kings win 1 maybe 2 but only in Colorado they lose all home games
Nothing's ever a for sure in NHL playoffs. But I'd be as shocked as anyone if the Avs lost the series. I think they finish LA off in 5.
4-1 avs
There is always a chance, that being said Kings if you find a way you will be legends.
This will be a sweep
The Avalanche need to bring back that Yeti foot logo.
Avs in 8.
After seeing how great my Avs did last year and how badly they melted down as soon as the playoffs started, and how they tend to take some teams lightly and pay for it, I'm not cocky.
It will be the beating of a lifetime in Denver.
sutter said it was "a waste of 8 days"!
Kings are better than many might guess 12th in 5v5. They are absolutely not winning this tho it’ll be good hockey.
Avs in 5. LA sucks.
Here’s the thing. As an Avs fan of course I am confident they SHOULD beat the Kings. But let’s say they don’t and the Kings advance. Then let’s say they beat the winner of Minnesota-Dallas. Then let’s say they play Edmonton in the WCF and finally beat that boogeyman. Then let’s say they actually beat whatever stacked Eastern Conference team makes the SCF. That would be one of the most insane playoff runs in hockey history.
The Avs won't want to go to OT because Kempe is the most dangerous player in extra time in the league, w/ the most wicked shot. As a Devils fan who had both, Wedgewood is far better than Blackwood. Kings have little chance unfortunately, although Makar is always good to make some horrible plays.
Avs in 3
The disrespect is unreal
i would be surprised if the kings win 1. Shocked if they win 2.
I go by overall standings president trophy winners #1 vs #20th the league table doesn’t lie and there is a gulf in class.
Avalanche in 5
If I was the kings coach I’d tell everyone that the world doesn’t think we have a chance and to just go out there and have fun and do you best because we got 0 pressure on us because not a single soul thinks we’ll win
I won't be surprised if this goes to 7
Shannon is always fair but I think it kills him just a tiny little bit whenever he has to wear Avs gear. He looks like he can't wait to take it off.
It's going to be a waste of 8 days
Kings in 7.
Love these videos. As an Avs fan anything less than the Cup will be a disappointment this year but one of the great things about hockey is that when the playoffs start it's a whole new season, anyone can win.
Queens MUST win game 1 to have any chance
Die hard Avs fan. Its never over till its over but i have faith in the Avs. I believe they want it more. Great channel
If LA upsets Avs, the memes would be incredible.
LA is gonna get absolutely destroyed in this series. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Colorado sweeps. LA barely crept in; they got lucky with all those loser points and playing in the worst division in hockey. 😂
Is the Norris trophy decided by regular season play alone or do playoff performances count? I mean, how can they not even if they say they’re not taking into it? Because of that respect, Quinn, Hughes and Lane Hutson can both be in the Max
No sweep happening this year.
LA will win 1 in LA for Kopitar
Well Kings, you got your wish, you don't have to play Edmonton 🤣
The Kings!!!!
As an Avs fan. I think it goes 5. But that 5th game, the thing I want to see most is us Avs fans just give Kopitar a thunderous send off for his retirement. He's been a legend of the game and seeing his final games feels weird.
If the Kings play how they have been they should win a game or two. The only way the Kings can win is if Colorado gets over confident and play poorly. Hey the Kings did it in 2012 as the 8th seed. Is Justin Williams available?
I picked LA in my pool just to make people talk at work
Love the sweater!
GKG
I got the Kings in an upset.
Love the Foot magnet. Wish they'd bring that patch back for their jerseys.
It's going to be a challenge, so GO KINGS GO. GO KINGS GO.
