DENVER — In a season in which the Avalanche has pulled off very few upsets, this is at least a bit surprising.
The hockey team, by far the worst in the NHL, still is outdrawing the Nuggets.
Stan Kroenke owns both teams, of course, with his son, Josh, serving as president. The Kroenke portfolio also includes the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League, the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer, London-based Arsenal FC of the English Premier League, and the Los Angeles Rams. So this isn't a fight over entertainment dollars between separately owned teams.
