The rollicking roller coaster ride with the Colorado Avalanche continued into the second full week of NHL hockey, chock full of thrills, chills and gut-wrenching moments. Between injuries, controversial officiating, and mostly on again but sometimes off again play of the youth, the Avalanche proved to be worthy of some notice.
THE GOOD
1. The Colorado Avalanche went 2-1 in the past week, showcasing a tenacity missing from last year’s crew and proving resilient in the face of adversity. This team is a lot more fun to watch, except when they’re not, like in the first two periods in Dallas.
