In rounds 1 + 2, yes, worst case scenario they could play St. Louis and then Chicago, or the other way around. It's just as likely though that St. Louis + Chicago play each other in R1, like they did this past season.
Regardless, if you want to win a cup, you have to beat the best teams in the league. This is the ways it's always been. What's the point in playing 3 rounds in the Eastern Conference, when you know you're not good enough to beat the team that comes out of the West?

How do I make it sound like anything but what it is? I said winning 3 rounds against those teams will be tough. They will have to beat a combination of 3 of those teams. So yes the road will be extremely tough. Is it impossible? No never said that. Simply stating why some people might think Colorado will be in tough to win a cup. It's a tough road no matter which 3 teams you get and that's not even taking into consideration you have to beat the East champ as well.
