That is how playoff teams operate once the tape is cut and the emotional sugar high starts to fade. The challenge is not celebrating the last series too long, because the next opponent has a way of punishing teams that linger in the rearview mirror. Colorado knows the margin gets thinner now, and that is where the real postseason nerves start showing.
