The team’s incredible scoring attack rivals anything the league has seen in decades.
The clincher illustrated another characteristic of the Avalanche: They are pure fun. They are a bigger joy to watch than any team I can remember that wasn’t my own, for reasons of both perfection and imperfection. They are a firewagon team that loves to throw the puck up the ice and get defensemen involved in their offense. They have one of the fastest skaters ever, Nathan MacKinnon, a true blink-and-you’ll-miss-him kind of talent whom many defensemen have indeed missed during these playoffs.
The Avalanche were running that torrid pace for nearly half a season despite MacKinnon playing just two games in November. The Avs’ scoring slowed down in the second half, and they finished the regular season averaging 3.76 goals. In the modern NHL, they were never going to score 4.33 goals per game over an entire year. Injuries to MacKinnon’s fellow star forwards Gabriel Landeskog and Nazem Kadri did not boost the offense.
