The Colorado Avalanche just lost five straight games and six of their last seven. Some people, fans mostly, think it’s time to hit the panic button.
Unsurprisingly, the Avalanche’s unflappable alternate captain, defenseman Erik Johnson, is not one of those people. He’s certainly not happy with the team’s progress right now, but he doesn’t see them as being too far off from success.
During the post-game presser following the loss to the Winnipeg Jets, Johnson ran down how each of the games went, trying to pinpoint how and why the wheels came off.
