And in the West, how do you not blow up the Oilers?

They were swept and the Avalanche essentially toyed with them, with a backup goaltender.

Is your strategy to get to the Stanley Cup final to hope that the Avalanche regress that much?

Is the ceiling, individually for McDavid and Draisaitl (I realize he was hurt, and played very gamely and well this series) and for the team, that much higher?

And for what it's worth, I don't think McDavid will ever lead a team to the Cup, no matter how many points he scores. His teams don't play a 200-foot game on a consistent basis.

It's just one tiny snippet that ultimately amounted to nothing, but that sequence just after Colorado took a 5-4 lead when Darren Helm(!!!) stripped McDavid of the puck and then beat him the length of the ice and nearly scored was an embarrassment.
