Analysts everywhere (mostly outside of Denver) have been referring to the Colorado Avalanche as a “one line team” since their dominant run in November and into this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. Is that the case? Don’t get me wrong, Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Gabriel Landeskog drive offensive performance, but what about JT “Justin Time” Compher and his two clutch goals? What of Matt Nieto’s two short-handed beauties? Also, didn’t the Avalanche win seven of ten to end the regular season without Landeskog or Rantanen?
