Many look at the Colorado Avalanche’s record since the Olympic break and begin to despair. The fact that our beloved team has somehow fallen apart like everyone said it would weighs as heavy on the heart as the 6-8 record they’re boasting since March 1. Really it should even be 5-9 as they stole a shootout victory from the Los Angeles Kings. Counting that win, the Avs are 1-5 in their last 6 games. It is too important a time for this to be happening!
