The Colorado Avalanche won’t officially kick off the 2018-19 until Thursday evening, when they host the Wild in what they’ll hope is a successful start to the new year.
That means that today, the Avs will sit idle come evening - but despite their empty schedule on Opening Night, it’s still a great day. At long last, after months of having to watch Johnny Football fail in the CFL and Earl Thomas wage war against Seattle, hockey is BACK.
A lot has happened in the last few days - so while we kept the schedule clear for some housekeeping pieces yesterday, we’ll try to keep all of our link-sharing brief and to the point here.
