Avs Go Streaking

Is it too soon to push the panic button on the Colorado Avalanche 2015-16 season? Umm…probably not. This season has not been pretty and everyone within the organization knows it. Simply put, the Avs have been – nicely – the picture of inconsistency, and – not so nicely – downright awful.

There’s got to be a sense of urgency in that locker room – there just has to be. So, I think it surfaces tonight and carries through until next Thursday. The Avs face the Rangers tonight at home, then Philly on Tuesday and Boston on Thursday, both on the road. They’ll win all three.

That probably sounds a bit silly, considering that all three teams have accumulated more points, but the Avs seem to play to their competition. Plus, I can’t get it out of my head that this is the same group that everyone had penciled in for a run at the Western Conference Finals as recently as last October. Surely that team hasn’t totally disappeared.
