If anybody is still doubting that the Colorado Avalanche are not the best team in the NHL, hopefully, this series against the Edmonton Oilers proved that they clearly are.
Colorado was able to win three of these four games by at least two goals. They will now take on the winner of the New York Rangers or the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Also, we have been hot in our Stanley Cup playoff betting picks throughout the past few weeks, so come check them out here.
Will The Avalanche Win The Stanley Cup Finals?
From the looks of things right now, it seems like the Avalanche have a legitimate chance of winning the Stanley Cup. The New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning are certainly high-level teams, but this Avalanche team just seems too good on the offensive side of the puck to lose to either of them.
One thing that could be interesting is that the Lightning and the Rangers have arguably the best two goalies in the NHL, which means that Colorado could have some struggles in putting the puck in the back of the net. However, this team has been putting the puck in the back of the net at a high level against anybody in the NHL all year and that should not change.
