Were they outshot every game?

Looking at this, they were later on. Colorado is in good shape next year if they get some better D-men who can drive possession.

Avs 4-0-1 against Minnesota this year. I like it.

Some odd results..

Pens were 5-0 against the Jackets
Red Wings were 3-1 against the Bruins
Kings were 3-1-1 against the Sharks
Lightning were 3-0-1 against the Habs

The Pens have owned the Jackets in the regular season in the past forever, so this isn't the greatest of match-ups for Columbus. On the other hand, regular season success hasn't really translated into the postseason for the Pens, and Fleury, in particular.

I'm hopeful, but I still think Pittsburgh takes it in 6.

I think that series is a coin flip. I'm pretty sure it's going 7. I'm inclined to look at the entire season instead of the last 10 games to see how good a team is, and the Blues were really freaking good all year. Supposedly, the Blues will get a lot of their guys back for the series. I'm giving them the slight edge based on home ice and goaltending.

I betcha a avatar pic change, Hawks in 6

Why the hell would I do that? I was just making a prediction. I don't care about who wins that series beyond the potential matchup with the Avs in the second round.

Parsing out some interesting things from the Avs stats.

Avs are 4th in goals scored, but their highest goalscorer had 28. Ryan O'Rielly played 80 games, averaging almost 20 minutes a game in time on ice, and had a grand total of 2 penalty minutes. Avs also had nobody with more than 70 points, but 5 players with more than 60 points. Osick is very right that if the Avs can get some better defensemen, they can be a force for a while. Their forward depth is pretty damn good.

I think he took his first Penalty in something like game 72 too.

If you guys like more of the "advanced stats" extraskater.com is the nicest to look at. It has a usage chart that is nice to see where guys take faceoffs and against what competition.

I doubt they resign Statsny. He'll want too much to justify being a 2/3 C and somebody *cough* Leafs *cough* will pay him to be a low end 1st/ decent 2nd. They can use that money on some defencemen.
 

DeadMan

aka spiker or DeadMong
Yeah, it was in the last 10 games or so.

Avs can probably resign Stasny and also get some defensemen. I know they've extended a bunch of upcoming RFAs, but they were so far under the cap this year that they should still have room for both. Personally, I don't want to see Stasny to leave, but you might be right. He's a solid 2nd line center, but if someone pays him to be a first line center, the Avs might not be able to match. If they only keep one of O'Reilly and Stasny, I'd rather it be O'Reilly.

So what 1 or 2 seed will get beat in the first round this year fellas? I think it will be the Ducks.

The Avalanche have depth at C doe. McKinnon, Duchene, O'Reilly was a C before, Mitchell, other young guys that project to be decent (Hishon, Sgarbossa, Malone). My view is they probably don't need him.

Poile should have fired hisself for not being able to draft any fucking scorers in 16 fucking years. Barry Trotz did the best he could do with the players he was given. That's all you can ask of a corch. One of the top 3 goalies in the league missed 51 games and the Predators still only missed the playoffs by 3 points. I ain't even a hockey fan really. I can't imagine how pissed I would be if I was. I hope Trotz gets hired soon. Maybe the Maple Leafs??

Yeah, I definitely see your point. Part of the reason I want him to stay is that he's actually pretty high up in the record books for the Avs right now, and it feels a little heartless to get rid of a guy like that. I could definitely see MacKinnon replacing him as a center, though. And if the choice is between a top defensemen and Stasny, I'll take the defenseman.

I would shit my pants if the Leafs made an intelligent move like hiring Barry Trotz.

The Preds have such a good D corp locked up (Del Zotto and Ellis are RFAs so I assume they get kept) that they can focus on scoring. I guess it depends on how much ownership wants to spend. If I were Poile, I would try and grab 20-22 yr olds that seem to get weird hate from their coaches. Yakupov comes to mind.

So Pens fans just going to sit on their hands whenever they're not winning or what? It's like a graveyard out there.

They didn't sell out their home playoff tickets up until yesterday. Consol Energy is a very country club atmosphere to begin with, but just about everyone knows the inevitable is coming with another playoff failure looming then throw in that they've been terrible since the Olympics.

That's probably the game that Columbus needed to steal. How fucking brutal was Kris Letang tonight? Yikes.
 
Can't score one goal and expect to win. Flyers wouldn't have won with Bernie Parent in net tonight...well, maybe with Parent.
