has played pretty hard this series.

They're just, in every game, they're just not as good, right?

They're just, on paper and overall, they're just not as strong as Colorado.

So every game, there's that little bit of difference, Kyle, and the Avalanche exploits it.

It's why they've won 2-1, 2-1, and 4-2 with an empty netter.

They're just a little bit better.

They're just a little bit more explosive.

And when I saw that, I think that was the first goal on Forsberg go in, Kyle, I was like, oh, that's really bad for L.A.

Now Forsberg's played pretty well and he's won the starting job, but L.A.

can't give up goals like that in this series.

Like he has to be basically perfect.

If you're going to be beaten, you have to be beaten on a great play and say, oh, not much I could have done about that.

Because if you give up a rough one like that one was, it's just too hard for L.A.

to make one or two of those up.

So when I saw that one go in, I was like, oh, this is not going to be the king's night.

You know, that Manson injury, that's a big one.

They've added some edge to their team.

Obviously, having Kadri there, he can be a really nasty guy.

Teams love that.

But Manson on the blue line is really their meanest defenseman and arguably their meanest player.
