How to beat the star-studded Avalanche: Cheat

I know exactly how the public outside of Colorado Avalanche fandom will react to this headline. “Avs are just a soft team that can’t handle heavier teams,” “their fans complain more about missed calls than any fans in the league,” “Avs get more calls than any team in the league.” I get it. It’s not the only thing that controls the outcome of a game, and the boys have to fight through adversity and find a way. That shouldn’t stop us from asking why Nazem Kadri gets kicked out of the dot on every faceoff and why Gabe Landeskog gets called for penalties when he’s not even playing, all whilst it takes a Nathan MacKinnon cross-check to get the refs to call Vancouver Canucks’ Quinn Hughes for a blatant slash, or two, or three.
