Welcome everybody to another edition of the Avalanche Mailbag! Today we’ve got a special theme: almost all the questions I’ve picked from the hat* have to do with the Avalanche’s defense. We had a great response this week and I’m already scribbling down extra questions for next week’s hat*.
It’s intriguing to me as an Avalanche writer that the fanbase has moved on to asking questions about defensemen’s usage and handedness and technique rather than just blanketing the entire Avs d-corps under the umbrella of “uniformly awful.” While the Avs’ defense still has a lot of room to grow, these tweets and letters encourage me.
