Nine games into the Colorado Avalanche season, and you’re going to say it’s much too soon to worry, right? There’s plenty of hockey left, so the Avalanche’s sub-500 record shouldn’t worry us.
Look at all those teams, like the LA Kings and the Pittsburgh Penguins, who started badly and went on to win the Stanley Cup! Why, even the Anaheim Ducks last year started worse than the Colorado Avalanche, and they went on to win the Pacific Division!
I’m not buying it. I’ve sung that song too many times myself the last five or six years, barring the golden Why Not Us season.
