The Colorado Avalanche are expected to lose tonight. Apparently when you’re on a back-to-back set going into Tampa, with the Lightning having rested the night before, it’s a scheduled loss.
Hmm, well, I hadn’t known that. Hopefully the Avalanche players didn’t know that either.
To be honest, this could be a throwaway game if it needed to be. I opined in my keys for the roadie post that Colorado coming away with six of the available points on this road trip would be a success. My rationale is that’s it’s the longest of the season and against some tough competition.
