Colorado Avalanche 2017-2018 Season Thread

We have some impressive wins. I think we beat Boston twice and once on the road and also a win at Washington. The two best teams in the NHL. We can sure hang with the top dogs.

I guess I meant western conference. We’ve lost by multiple goals to the defending champs twice though on the road. And I believe we got smoked by Edmonton the last time we played.

Ouch. Can’t believe they blew that one.

Yeah, but it's a long season. I think they have the talent and depth to go deep in the playoffs!!!

What in the world is going on with this team in the third period lately. It’s reminding me of the team 2-3 years ago.

[DenverBlood]

This team is not very good right now.

Finally beat the Blues.

We beat them 7-3 on the 2nd, too. 2 in a row.

Apparently I slept through that one.

Always great beating the Red Wings.

The avs better be looking to trade for a goalie, grub is just not it - would be nice to have a good goalie for a change.

Once upon a time we had an active Avs following in here.

Can probably blame the fact they are not on TV here anymore for most of us. Could be one of the best years for the Avs and we cant even watch them

Totally forgot about that, but that’s a good point. I don’t have Comcast so I’m still able to watch them. But yeah, it’s hard to get excited about it when you can only see it on the news or SportsCenter in highlights

Oooh right. My bad. I see Vic Lombardi posting frustration weekly. I rarely see them in Alabama anyway until playoffs.

What do you think it is that makes them successful? I know they have a deep and talented team, but it seems as though they have been progressing ever since Bednar took over.
