So.... these Avs over the last 2 weeks have been something else. Really playing well at the moment. I read a stat today that said this is the best record in franchise history after 80 games.
Tonight's game is another crazy comeback to at least tie it up for a chance to win... [Reply]

Two months really. They're 22-2-2 in 2022.
It's awesome, but this year is judged in the postseason. [Reply]

Yeah, they haven't lost consecutive games since November 3rd/6th and there are all kinds of great stats on how many times they've scored 5+ goals or even 7+.

Yeah... and I've seen some say the season will be a dismal failure without a Cup, which of course unfair to some extent. The divisional losses have definitely turned up the pressure though to the point where even a WCF loss would be tough to swallow.
Contract-wise, they at least have this season and next before having to resign MacKinnon and replace Erik Johnson (on top of Kadri being a UFA at the end of this season). [Reply]

Peter Forsberg had three goals and three assists as the Colorado Avalanche exploded for seven goals in the final 22 minutes to stun the Panthers, 7-5, last night in Sunrise, Fla.
Forsberg’s unassisted goal with 1:31 left capped a four-goal outburst in the final five minutes as the Avalanche roared back from a 5-0 deficit that included Pavel Bure’s hat trick.
Adam Deadmarsh, Chris Drury, and Milan Hejduk also scored during the Avalanche’s final flurry, in which they scored four goals on their final eight shots. Claude Lemieux also scored as Colorado remained unbeaten in its last 10 road games (8-0-2).
Florida had built a 5-0 lead late in the second period on the strength of Bure’s 11th hat trick. Bure scored a shorthanded breakaway in the first period, then added two power-play goals.
Florida led, 5-3, with just over five minutes left, but Deadmarsh brought the Avalanche within one with a power-play goal at the 15-minute mark and Drury tied it just 41 seconds later.
This is fucking beautiful (after the bad turnover at the blue line :-) )... the effort on defense, Makar getting the hell out of there with the puck, the give and go... :-)
Avs have been struggling over the last week or so. Some painful losses. But Makar has certainly been a very pleasant surprise this year. He is having an incredible year. Really impressive stat...
