## Resource

The Colorado Avalanche will have to wait until the final day of the season to find out their first round opponent. We're down to three possible opponents between the Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks, and somehow the Edmonton Oilers. Between the three, which is the best possible first round opponent for the Avs? Does it matter? The Avs still continue to win even if the games don't matter anymore, borderline securing the Rocket Richard for Nathan MacKinnon and getting Martin Necas to 100 points. How confident can you be about this team heading into the playoffs?
