The Colorado Avalanche host the Minnesota Wild for opening night on October 8. This is a date that Avalanche fans have had circled in our calendars since the ignominious end to the 2014-15 season. (Ok, actually the ending was pretty good, but you get the point.)
I don’t know about other Avalanche fans, but seeing that the season opener would be against the Minnesota Wild created a mixture of feelings. I’ve made no bones about my hate for that team, and admittedly a lot of it stems from frustration. I felt a little nervous since Colorado had so much trouble scoring against them last season, and our young snipers are ever so mental.
