Damn, maybe we were quick to dismiss Ron Francis. Infinite forechecking works!
Avs fans know very well that first round Philipp Grubauer is really good. Second round Grubauer? We will see.
Congrats to the Kraks, they absolutely earned every bit of that seven-game victory. I'll admit both Hakstol and Francis have surprised me because I thought making a blueline that big and slow in this economy was a huge detriment, but the key is, their forwards are so damned fast and so many are quality puck-battlers that they offer just the right support for those guys.
I could totally see them go on a big run, the Stars and Golden Knights and Oilers are obviously quality teams but all have their vulnerabilities that a team like Seattle could exploit.
