Yes because he was so successful previously in the playoffs that we could have expected greatness had he not injured his hand.
I'm not missing anything. The Avs previous failures came after the first round, they didn't implode and show 0 push back when things got hard. If memory serves me correct, the Flames got swept by Anaheim one year, then lost 4 straight after winning game 1 to the Avs, lost 3 straight to Dallas in the bubble, then this year lost 4 straight to the Oilers. The core has a horrible propensity to disappear in adverse moments against quality playoff opponents.
That is not the Avs of the past years. So yes in my view its completely different.
