I think, game 5 sucked harder.

Idk. Maybe it's meaningless. Probably it'll be viewed as sour grapes.
:47 left in regulation. Score knotted 3-3. The wild get whistled for offsides. I rewound & watched that play 5 times. How was it offsides? The puck doesn't leave the zone. But when it's passed to a charging skater in the zone. Offsides is the call & stoppage. Maybe I missed something? It sure looked like yet another shit call. All series long. Wild players get booted from face off circle. A sketchier version happens by an av in the circle. Not only is Colorado not called on it. 1 or 2 passes later it's a goal to tie the game.

Like I said. Probably sour grapes. Truth be told. The avalanche are elite. This years version as good as they've been the past decade. Especially in net. Owning 2 of the leagues top goalies. All Minnesota fans with realistic thought. At best gave the wild a 30% chance of forcing a game 7... And now? Either Vegas or the ducks up next? Vegas has 0 chance of getting to 7. The ducks? I'd say at best? 10% shot at a 7 game series.


Likewise in the East canes are resting while les has & sabres beat on e/o. Carolina is highly likely to sweep their next opponent after dispatching Philly way too easily. The flyers were the hottest team the last month of the season.
Carolina added an offense in the off-season. It has made them just as dominant as the avs .. gonna be a helluva final!
