They looked damaged.

And then I'm going, geez, Nazem Khadri looks like the Calgary Flame, you know, a little older.

Brent Burns looked 45.

The Kulak, yeah, he scored the series-princing goal, but hadn't scored as a Colorado Avalon.

Now you start to pick apart their roster and go, geez, this Nelson didn't do anything.

Natchez disappeared like he did in Carolina.

Do you start to get a little bit negative about it?

Where a week ago we were like, this team, you're not going to beat them four times in a row anytime.

They're winning the Stanley Cup.

Are we guilty of that just from an emotional standpoint or not?

Really?

I'll write the book someday.

So I'm going to just throw this out there as well, thinking last night.

So Colorado juggernaut, unbelievable, dominated the whole regular season, all of that.

I mean, we all thought they were just going to win the Stanley Cup.

You know who did that not that long ago?

The Tampa Bay Lightning.

And in the first round, it was John Tortorella's Columbus Blue Jackets that frustrated the hell out of that Tampa team to the point where Kucherov, I believe, got suspended.

And Tampa, they didn't have an answer for it.

I'm watching that last night going, it was almost a carbon copy of how frustrating that Vegas team was to Colorado.
