Avs aren’t exactly choking. They’re missing 2 first liners and 4 of the guys who are back are playing their first games in a month or two after injuries. It was a miracle they even made the playoffs, let alone winning their division.

Why choke when you can just miss the playoffs entirely?

Tbf the panthers underperformed in the regular season, and the Kraken were threatening anyone all season as well.

The NHL playoffs are a crap shoot and other than home ice the ranks mean nearly nothing. If you’ve been a fan for like, more than a year this becomes pretty clear.
But cool meme bro?

Why isn’t it Tampa in the picture? They choked when they played the Columbus Blue Jackets. Tampa had the best record and everyone thought they were going to run away with the cup.
Toronto is their own special kind of side show to everyone else’s cup run. They are a footnote tacked on to the playoff race.

Well with the TOTALLY unbiased refing and one team DEFINITELY NOT playing dirty, it’s such a BIG surprise.

Not that surprising for the avs. We haven’t had a C on the ice all season and are missing some other key players from last season as well .

Being swept by the low seed is worse than playing 7 games.

The Leafs have never played a wildcard team though

I mean to be fair Tampa isn’t a wildcard team.
