It still bothers me because Colorado had the ceiling to win the whole thing. Vegas deserves credit, but I still think the Avs were the more dangerous team when rolling.
Should the Avalanche have been the team representing the West instead of Vegas?

A lot of fans thought Colorado was the best team in the West on paper. Did Vegas prove they deserved it?

Answers & Discussion
Colorado probably had the more talented top-end roster, but Vegas looks built for playoff hockey. Heavy, experienced, annoying, and comfortable in ugly games.
Vegas is in the Final because they earned it. Hockey is not about who looks best on paper in January. It is about who survives when everything gets heavy.
