Because the best way to promote the upcoming hockey season is to not bother televising the preseason exhibition games, Avalanche fans were once again treated to the thrilling two-plus hours of watching dots rearrange themselves on NHL Gamecenter. Tonight the Burgundy & Blue dots beat the ugly, premature-Christmas-color dots 2-0, achieving their fourth win of the preseason.
After a scoreless first that saw a large disparity in shot attemps in favor of the Minnesota Wild, the Avalanche—still getting a good look at a lot of young players—finally kicked it into high gear and started putting up a fight in their opponent’s end of the ice.
