Looks like there is only going to be one undefeated team in the playoffs after tonight 

They can't handle the Minny forecheck right now.

Minnesota has a lot of talent so don’t expect them to go down without a fight.  If they win this and the next game it’s a whole new series.

What a shift by Faber and Boldy

That was unusual

If we face Montreal in the ECF we will face another hot goalie.

Those goalies “were hot”

I don't like playing Montreal but I was cautious of the Ottawa and Philly match ups too.

Jankowski extended for two more years at 1.85m AAV.

The avalanche wild game is another good one

Avalanche come back from 3-0 to tie the game for overtime.  Unreal

Necas set up the series winner with his wheels.  Wow

If Carolina gets through the ECF, there's no way I see them beating Colorado. Obviously, as much as I would like to see a Cup run, I just don't see it against the Avs. I cannot find a single weakness in their game. Even with above average goalie play, which is all they have in net. No elite goalies.

Montreal will be a tough battle for the Canes. If Canes beat them, then they can beat Colorado.

Well the canes beat them once this year. I think they stack up well. With how well the defense and four check is right now it slows every team down.
