The Colorado Avalanche had an exciting, five-game series against the Calgary Flames, which they won. Here are the top five moments.
The Colorado Avalanche advanced past the first round of the playoffs when they beat the Calgary Flames 5-1 on Friday night. They won the series 4-1 with Calgary’s lone victory coming in the first game.
Colorado was the first team to advance in the Western Conference. Since then, the St. Louis Blues prevailed over the Winnipeg Jets, which I’m not overly happy about. I’m not Jets fan, but I have less love for the Blues.
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Conference, the eighth-seed Columbus Blue Jackets upset the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Tampa Bay Lightning. With Colorado eliminating Calgary, the Western Conference champions, we saw history made. It was the first time ever that the eighth-seed team eliminated the first seed in both the East and West.
The series was a relatively short one. Nonetheless, we saw some great moments. The Colorado Avalanche made the plays that created memories we can always cherish.
So, let’s look at some of the best moments from the first round of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs so far.
