As much as fans would love to blame someone else for this game (refs), the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks sat squarely on the team’s shoulders. It still seems to be a matter of core fundamentals that are costing this team valuable points in a race for 8th place that is quickly becoming unbearably tight.
I think the funny thing is that Kroenke Sports Entertainment is currently trying to sell Avalanche Playoff tickets. I also think it’s funny that if the Avs keep playing like they have in the last few games, those tickets will be worthless. Either the Burgundy Boys play clutch in these last series of games or they can kiss their playoff wishes goodbye.
One o’clock this afternoon marked the end of trading for the rest of the 2009-2010 NHL season. It was a busy time for a lot of teams and one team in particular made a couple of moves I didn’t expect. The Avalanche acquired Peter Mueller and Kevin Porter from Phoenix for Wojtek Wolski, as well as Stephane Yelle and Harrison Reed from Carolina for Cedric Lalonde-McNicoll and a 6th round draft pick. Mueller was present for the game tonight against the Anaheim Ducks.
The final day of games before the first break of the tournament and the playoff brackets are finalized saw some battles and one absolutely outstanding upset (being completely misrepresented in most traditional media outlets).
Are you as excited for this upcoming season as you were last year?
