I feel like (and not basing this off anything other than my own eye test) that Arizona is more of the same ilk as a Dallas, or a St. Louis. A team that could frustrate us and bottle us up (like we've seen the past 2 games). Where as Colorado reminds me more of the Eastern type teams (Islanders, Hurricanes) who we don't seem to have as much trouble with.

I think style of play caters to preferring Colorado, but only by a slim margin.

They are still my top 2 choices either way. Its weird being in a situation where our preferred opponents are also our more likely opponents, and the teams we want to avoid (Dallas, Vegas) are very unlikely.

The season of things going our way can just keep going on until June, that would be just fine thanks.
