The Colorado Avalanche finished the first half of the season with 47 points, which puts them on pace for 94 points this season. What are the expectations now for this season and how have they changed? Where do you see the Avalanche finishing now?
Tom: When the season started, I picked the Avalanche to finish outside of the bottom-5 in the league and many said I was too optimistic. What’s changed? I think they’re better than even the most high-end expectations. I still don’t think they’re a playoff team, but I think that the Avs will finish in the 85-90 point range and somewhere around 10th in the conference.
