Has Anyone Ever Won the Conn Smythe in Round One?

In a game that could rival Felix Hernandez's perfect game, or Mike Tyson's eight-second knockout, Darcy Kuemper, aka the Cat Burgler of the Bubble, was on fire.

In a performance so raw, Bun B called to congratulate him, Darcy Kuemper was unbelievable.

You think Jonas Korpisalo is having a good playoffs? That guy is Kenny G to Darcy's Miles Davis.

Yesterday the Coyotes won 4-2, and its unfortunate that Colorado scored two goals, because goalie performances don't usually get a lot of love when goose eggs are not involved.

But Jesus.



To call the game a "beat down" doesn't really do justice to Colorado's performance. They put on a clinic. The Coyotes were absolutely helpless to do anything.

The first period finished with the Avs having a 65% possession rating, 20 shots. and three Coyotes players in their underwear.

And that was Arizona's best period.

After that, a blood bath was only prevented by Kuemper who was streets ahead in this one.

The Avs finished with 39 scoring chances in a single game.

Kuemper was just unbelievable.

The series is now 2-1, but by all rights it should be over. The Coyotes game plan is a joke, and if Rick Tocchet has a strategy, it's not working.

49 saves in a regulation game is pretty nuts.
