Open Thread: Colorado Avalanche vs. Dallas Stars (7:30 p.m.)

The first round has come and gone for both the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars. While it was easier for some and tougher for others, the two best teams in the Central Division and arguably the Western Conference meet in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Game One is tonight in Dallas with the home team looking to build off their gauntlet run against the Vegas Golden Knights. Meanwhile, the Avs will look to be the disturber and spoil it for the home fans in attendance. Nonetheless, this will be a showdown against two mighty teams kicking off Tuesday night.
