Not only do they beat the Blue's, but now Every team in the league this year! Impressive! They have the be the "darkhorse" in the West...
and Backes, according to Roy, "is a coward" for jumping 18 year old Mackinnon, in retaliation for a hard hit on one of his teammates by another Av,...
I have to agree with Roy....although I would call the 6' 5" Backes something much worse...a bit of a mean streak is one thing, but this guy is a down right miserable Bleep, I hope someone tunes this guy up but good!! I would like to see Lucic or better Chara do it in the final's but I doubt the Blue's have the offence to get past the Kings IMHO...

I dunno, I haven't, just a media bandwagon deal like the Sharks being picked for the last decade....

I agree re: Backes, I was besides myself when he jumped MacKinnon...partly because I have MacKinnon in my fantasy league and it's the final today so couldn't afford to lose him for today's game against the Pens but even if I didn't It's the way he attacked him, tumbled him over while falling on top of him with his full weight, complete disgrace.

A few, but this is the first I've given it any thought.

That really is an impressive stat for them to have beaten all 29 other teams in the season. I like Colorado - they've got some good players, that coach is pretty good, and they're an X Factor in this year's playoffs because they've so quickly turned it around from recent years. Will be a good ride for them in the playoffs but talk about a tough matchup in the first round drawing the champs.
