One thing that worries me about a potential match up with VGK, is the hockey gods just seem to like them more than Colorado these days. Vegas has mad pull with the hockey gods.

Vegas plays heavy.

It's like last year they heavied their way to the Finals.

The only thing that stopped them was an even heavier Caps.

That hounding the puck crash the net style is their thing, Vegas is built for the playoffs.

And Jones lets in a softy, 3-0 VGK. See you in the next round Vegas.

Like on that last goal there; nothing fancy.

Patches just threw the puck in the corner, SJ coughed it up under pressure from the forecheck.

Bing bang boom, in the net.

Keep it simple stupid and grind, that's the VGK secret sauce.

Relentless opportunistic grinders with tons of depth, bad match up for the Avs, style wise. San Jose was the easier second round match up, that's for sure, oh well.

On the back end, the defensive side, this is where things are complex.

You have to read, react, counter the play, break the cycle, force a turnover, then exit under control.

On the offensive side of things, in the playoffs?

Keep it simple stupid.

Just throw the puck in the corner and go after it like a man possessed.

They cough it up under pressure, bing bang boom, in the net.

The Leafs, and Tampa as well, are the classic Regular Season Teams.

Too fancy. When things are softie woftie, they dominate.

When the playoffs come and the smash mouth teams just throw it in the corner and forecheck heavy?

The Tampa's and Toronto's get exposed.
