The Colorado Avalanche played the third game of the 2018-19 season, and it was not a good one. It’s not just that the Avs lost 5-2. It’s that they played bad hockey.
In my previous post, I talked about how the Avalanche need to develop a road identity. It may seem early in the season to already be worrying about team identity. However, Colorado plays in the brutal Central Division where they have to look on the whole year as the road to the playoffs.
Plus, it was the road that got them last season.
