With a commanding 5-0 victory in Game 5 on Monday, the Abbotsford Canucks eliminated the Colorado Eagles in embarrassing fashion and punched their ticket to the AHL's Western Conference Final.
With their Game 7 loss to the Dallas Stars in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Colorado Avalanche have now lost seven straight Game 7's, setting an unfortunate NHL postseason record.
Colorado hockey in crisis mode after both the Avalanche and Eagles' end their seasons on a embarrassing note.
Steven McGoey from The Hockey News writes that despite leading the league with 250 goals during the regular season, the Eagles found it difficult to generate offence against the Canucks, managing just nine goals in five games.
"The Eagles top line of Jayson Megna, Tye Felhaber, and Matthew Phillips each finish the playoffs with eight points in nine games. The trio each had two points in the series." -McGoey
T.J. Tynan, who recorded 41 assists and 49 points in 52 regular season games, was limited to just two assists in the series, his only points of the entire postseason.
Losing defenseman Jack Ahcan to injury in Game 2 of Colorado's second-round series against San Jose dealt a major blow, as the team struggled to compensate for his time and offensive contributions.
"Despite the loss goaltender Trent Miner had a strong series, posting a .910 SP and 2.29 GAA. He finishes the playoffs with a 5-4 record, .925 SP and 2.15 GAA." -McGoey
The Abbotsford Canucks are set to face the Texas Stars in a best-of-seven series, with a spot in the Calder Cup Finals on the line. Game 1 gets underway on Thursday, May 29.
