As I mentioned in a previous post, the Colorado Avalanche are at a turning point in their season. In fact, that turning point consists of the first five games after the All Star break and bye week. We’re going to see if the Avs have a chance at making the playoffs, or if this is another development year for them.
After Saturday’s 5-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks — no, none of those were empty-net goals — and last night’s 6-3 loss, the prospects of the playoffs are looking a little dim. That Vancouver loss dropped the Avs out of the playoff bracket.
