The Colorado Avalanche are ready to embark on their much-anticipated 2019-20 season. The hype train has come to Colorado.
And it feels weird. The Avs always do so well in the underdog role. Well, after back-to-back playoff appearances and an off-season that’s well-regarded as successful, they’re not really underdogs anymore. The world is sitting up and taking notice.
It all starts tonight. Game 1 of the season. The slate is wiped clean.
Except there might be some bad blood between the two teams. Well, bad blood on the opponents’ side. The Avalanche are hosting the Calgary Flames, whom they defeated in five games in last season’s playoffs.
