Ok, the Colorado Avalanche winning streak ending at 10 isn’t exactly a good thing. It is, however, a relieving thing. When you’ve got so much on the line, the stakes get higher and emotions get, well, also higher. Just ask Andrew Cogliano about his Iron Man Streak. (Yes, I know he’s not glad it’s over — just bear with me.)
The Colorado Avalanche might find a way to make the playoffs even in the tough Central Division. The Avs might miss the playoffs by just a few points and still get a top-3 draft pick because of the Draft Lottery — that’s what happened with the Philadelphia Flyers last year.
