It’s here. It’s finally here. The start of a new season for the Colorado Avalanche. It’s been exactly 179 days since the Avs last stepped on the ice for a game that mattered.
Many new faces will don an Avalanche sweater for the first time tonight. In fact, only about half of the team remains from the opening night roster last year. This is a much different team. A young team but the youth movement has finally arrived to the jubilation of the fans.
This year will be different. Bednar has had time to bring in coaches, staff, and players that fit his coaching style.
