Working to help Mile High Hockey this year has been a blast, and I’ve seen the strengths and surprises that the Avalanche have had to offer this year.
Even so, I wouldn’t have been surprised if they were the series that saw a four-game sweep - which essentially means that, as a team guaranteed at least one win in their series no matter how the outcome ends up in the coming days, that the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks pulled off a pretty hilarious reverse-upset.
Credit to the Kings, who iced one of the league’s hottest goalies through the postseason only to run up against one of only two HOTTER goalies.
