Colorado Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen and his teammates will face off against a familiar foe in the Western Conference Finals, but it's not just the opposing team that's got everyone talking. In a shocking move, Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog has revealed that some friendships within the team may be put to the test as they prepare to take on the Dallas Stars, a team that includes several former Avalanche players, including a key contributor who was traded away earlier this season. The tension is palpable, and the question on everyone's mind is: will the Avalanche be able to put aside their personal feelings and focus on the task at hand, or will the emotional baggage prove too much to overcome? As the series gets underway, one thing is certain - the intensity will be high, and the drama will be real.
