What do you say about a team that isn’t playing for anything? Honestly, why am I showing up to write this column when the Avs aren’t showing up to play the games? Just because I made a commitment to cover 82 games and I don’t have a choice?! I am them as they are me, as you are me and we are all together in this farcical end to the season.
It truly is wild how this season has been bookended by a stretch of games with a team trying to just skate by til people get healthy and the games matter again, and it’s made me think a lot about Alexandar Georgiev.
