Vegas has always been a bit of a Wild West show. And here we are again.

Lots of media folk no doubt hoping to see the #Avs win the WCF so they don't have to deal with the Torts Show in Cup final.

So it’s set. #Avs face Knights in Western Conference Finals First game is Wednesday

It's now official!

The #Avs will face the Vegas Golden Knights in the Western Conference Final! #GoAvsGo

Golden Knights are buzzing tonight. Lead 2-0 over Ducks midway through first period. Knights looking to clinch series and advance to face #Avs in Western Conference Finals

#Avs won this series against the Wild, won this quadrant of the NHL bracket … during training camp. At the trade deadline.

It was over before it began, when winning the Wild-Stars war took its toll. And when Chris MacFarland outflanked his peers.

Hits can be pretty subjective from building to building in the NHL. Not all are created equal.

The #Avs hit Quinn Hughes 19 times in 5 games. The Stars hit Hughes 10 times in 6 games.

Did it matter? Hughes xGF% by game vs Avs ...

65.78, 55.19, 45.7, 25.29, 35.17
