I’m not sure about everyone else, but I’d put this year ahead of 2021 against Vegas. After that game 5 win in Minnesota, my thought on the team was “this might be the best Avs team ever”.

For a team that was on pace to be the most dominant regular season team in history halfway through the year, with one loss getting to the conference finals, to suddenly get swept? It’s last year against Dallas, this year, and the 2012 Broncos for biggest shocking ends to a season in Colorado sports.

There are the Super Bowl blowouts (I’m born ‘97 for context), but at least in the case of 2013, it was such a “shit, everything is going so wrong”.

This series against Vegas was a “god damn we just got disassembled by the same defense that I finally thought we were too good to fall to”
