The Colorado Avalanche over-rely on their goalies. That’s a facet of Avs hockey that doesn’t seem to ever change. When you’re a Colorado goalie, you’re going to face 30+ shots a night on average and get hung out to dry at least a couple times.
Is it fair? Sure it is. This is the NHL, baby — if you’re a hockey player, getting a job in the NHL is the #1, perfect job. You can’t expect it to also be easy.
The thing is, when you’re an Avs goalie, you’ve got a team built for high-octane offense in front of you.
