It’s hard to argue that any hockey team right now is more powerful than the Colorado Avalanche. This team finished with the second most points in hockey during the regular season. They’ve also been dominant through the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Colorado won in a sweep of the Nashville Predators, and they were able then to defeat a strong St. Louis Blues team in six.
The Edmonton Oilers may be able to give the Avalanche a run for their money, despite them being the best hockey team. Connor McDavid is the Edmonton Oilers’ most effective hockey player and the Oilers have shown the ability to win on the road during these playoffs.
