With the weekly grades specialist Erza on vacation I will do my best to depict the week that was as your guest evaluator. We saw the Colorado Avalanche go 2-1-0 in their last home stand before the start of a long road trip, which began with a disappointing loss to Florida but two strong showings against Boston and Vegas to put Colorado second in the Central Division with 57 points.
