Wow! What a change for the Colorado Avalanche. They were on that great season-opening winning streak, including those amazing games on the road and all of a sudden everything has turned around.
It all started after the back-to-back we played on home ice, against the Ducks. I went into that game confident they could win that one, quite easily, given the Ducks record up till that point.
There was talk that it was the back-to-back games that took their toll on the team, after the loss. Yes, that may have been a little of what happened and I’m not so sure it was the main reason for the loss.
