The Nashville Predators are playing near-perfect hockey right now, finding ways to win even when they’re not playing very well. That dangerous way of living will catch up to them as they start playing better teams, and the Colorado Avalanche are one of them.
It’s no surprise to me that the Avalanche are off to a nice start of their own. Their top line rivals the Predators, and they have a lot of young pieces that are improving. This franchise has been in the dumps for a while, but those grim days seem to be coming to an end for them.
