Colorado Avalanche Defenseman Erik Johnson’s Injury is the Final Straw

In case you missed, the Colorado Avalanche will now be missing their de facto No. 1 defenseman for 6-8 weeks because of a broken leg.

It happened on a blocked shot from the point. I immediately knew something was wrong by the way he was unable to shake it off, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that.

Talk about an absolute bust of a season folks. I planned on writing something today that would find that small glimmer of hope shimmering in some obscure area of the locker room.

But, with the news of EJ’s broken leg, I don’t really have anything positive to say.
