The Colorado Avalanche are the Western Conference Champions. The first seed from the West will be having home advantage throughout the first three rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs at Ball Arena. However, the race for the last few playoff spots is far from done for the rest of the West.
The wild card race is going to go down to the wire to have a “waste of eight days” as Darryl Sutter said. The Avs will be feeling good but some possible teams they’d face in the first round would certainly pick a fight.
