Western Conference Second Round: (1) Dallas Stars vs (3) Colorado Avalanche

[IRSlotsFull]

The WCF will be their easiest round of the playoffs.

Do the playoffs get easier as you go? Doesn't usually seem the case...

The regular season series of DAL v VAN went 2-1 in the Stars' favor, but 1 win was in OT and the other by 1 goal (without counting the empty netter) - doesn't really show they are all that dominant over their opponent.
Both teams have strong depth on their rosters, won their division, and weren't the heavy favorite against their playoff opponents... somehow top seed underdogs.

I'd say Dallas in 7, but when you're at game 7 is anything really that certain?

So far the kid Wyatt Johnston is my vote for Conn Smythe. Waaay to early but he’s looking like a playoff vet.

He's a big time playoff performer for sure. Such skill and poise for someone his age.

Any chance Dallas is interested in Marner for Johnston?

If Jim Nill read this, you'd be able to hear his laughter in Toronto all the way from Dallas.
