The Colorado Avalanche exhibited growing pains the past week as they displayed glimpses of Good, Bad, and Ugly in their home series.
THE GOOD
1. Forward Rene Bourque made his fall signing look like a stroke of genius this past week, as the veteran forward scored three goals, including an overtime game winner (sort of). Considering the team only notched five tallies for the week, Bourque supplied 60% of the team’s scoring. While the overtime winning goal looked more like an own goal, Bourque was in position to get credit, so no one can complain.
