Hello everyone, lets breakdown Round 2 Vegas vs Colorado.
The Breakdown:
Congrats to the Vegas Golden Knights on defeating the LA Kings in Round 1! From here on out, this is where the real playoffs happen. Vegas and Colorado are 2-2 this regular season. Colorado has one of the best teams entering into these playoffs. They will put alot of pressure on this Vegas Golden Knights team. Most of the puck possesion is most likely to be favored by the #1 seeded Avalanche. Vegas has ciulla who is arguably the #1 Goaltender on this team and he proved it in round 1. They will look to him on this matchup. Vegas has some good defense too. But will they put some numbers up on the board and pass Bigmummy and eggman to get in to score? Bigmummy and eggman are like peanut butter and jelly. They work together very well. One of the best d pair in this league hands down. Colorado is also dangerous on Offense, but rumor has it their backbone on offense, AAli, wont be available at all the entire week of the playoffs. This is Vegas’s chance.. But it wont be easy..
If Vegas Wins:
If the underdog Vegas team wants to win this series, they must take advantage of AAli not being in the line up and make sure to get behind the defense of bigmummy and eggman. Ive played this colorado team plenty of times this regular season to know that they do trap. They trap hard and this vegas team will need to dump it in so often and just work on the puck possesion and get some shots on Jhonny_phonny. Another factor will be the Vegas goaltending. Ciulla can win some games for his team and we will see what he does. The backbone on offense of this Vegas team is ACKstonerboy and he will have to lead the offense here. If this happens, we will see a very big upset.
If Colorado Wins:
If Colorado wants to win this series and not make it extremely painful having AAli out of the lineup, they will need to step up the offensive game. And I believe they can do that. They have amazing puck possesion and thats a huge factor. If they have most of the puck this series, this series is over. These guys can turn nothing into something in a blink of an eye. Great forwards and Great Defense. Gui and sedin will lead the offense here. and Gui and Sedin dont work that well together according to some inside sources but they’re going to have to this series to win some games. Defense will be fantastic on the other hand. These guys make Jhonny_phonny’s job so easy, that he can go take a shower for the time of Game 1 and Game 2 and still have shutouts.
The Prediction:
COL wins series 4-2.
