As the Colorado Avalanche SB Nation site, it hurts a little bit to see the Stanley Cup Final round about to take place.
Yes, it was a unicorn year, where the team wasn’t supposed to see playoff action at all. And yes, winning any playoff games at all was a ton of fun, especially when the Avalanche faced an opponent like the Nashville Predators.
Still, there’s always going to be a serious case of FOMO when it comes to things like the Stanley Cup, because nothing feels better than being able to cheer for your team in the most consequential games of the year.
