The Colorado Avalanche have officially entered the playoff race again. With last night’s win against the Dallas Stars, the Avs are tied for the final playoff spot with the Arizona Coyotes, and the Avalanche get the tiebreaker.
That is, if the Washington Capitals with all their fancy scorers and their fancy Tom Wilson can take care of business with the Minnesota Wild in regulation. Come on, Caps, you’re the Stanley Cup champs — just flash your bling at the Cupless Wild and score a bunch of goals on Devan “Crybaby” Dubnyk.
Anyway, lost in all the hullabaloo last night was the fact that it was defenseman and alternate captain Erik Johnson‘s birthday.
