Mystery Behind Avalanche’s Stunning Meltdown: What Went Wrong in Their Shocking Collapse?
Yes, Dallas had home-ice advantage, but Colorado had everything else going for it.
But now, the Avalanche are done on May 3. One series victory in three years. Another year of MacKinnon’s and Cale Makar’s prime squandered. Another year of Jared Bednar getting outcoached by Pete DeBoer, who improved to a staggering 9-0 in Game 7s, statistically the best clutch coach in the sport’s history. Another year closer to being a what-if for the ages, a one-Cup wonder, a team that spiked a championship but never realized its full potential, the hockey equivalent of the 1985 Chicago Bears, when they were supposed to be the next 2010s Chicago Blackhawks.
