Avalanche’s Playoff Collapse Explained

The Colorado Avalanche’s playoff run ended in heartbreak after a brutal four-game sweep by the Vegas Golden Knights, marking a stunning collapse after dominating the regular season. Key injuries to stars like Makar and MacKinnon hurt their depth, while their offense vanished entirely—scoring just seven goals across the series, their worst four-game stretch ever. Even more shocking: none of their top scorers found the net, including MacKinnon, who went scoreless in his first playoff series without a goal since his rookie year. They’d been perfect when leading after two periods, but lost twice in regulation despite holding leads, including a crushing three-goal deficit in Game Three. It’s a season-ending sting that’ll linger for a long time. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
