The Colorado Avalanche are back in action tonight, and they could have a deep lineup. Chris MacFarland built this roster, seemingly from the ground up, and a lot of it required patience. Also, a look at how the Habs got to the Eastern Conference Final, and another coaching change is coming for the Vancouver Canucks.
All that and more on this edition of Deen’s Daily — May 20.

Colorado Hockey Now
We’ve finally arrived at the Western Conference Final. You ready?
I’ve got a quick pre-game read below, on how Chris MacFarland and the organizations patience paid off in a big way.
It looks like we might have a fully available roster for the Avs in Game 1. At least that’s the vibe we got after practice yesterday. Cale Makar was the lone absence, but I’m not sure if that means anything about his status.
In case you missed it, the Vancouver Canucks are making a coaching change. An Avalanche legend was let go.
