The Colorado Avalanche and the St. Louis Blues — a little like the Hatfields and rotten eggs. Sometimes, it seems like the two teams just don’t match up, and the results can be both ornery and stinky.
The St. Louis Blues are a big, physical, puck possession team. It often falls to the defense to try and sort them out. Considering the Avs only went 1-2-2 last season against the Blues, it feels as if the Avalanche defense did not sort them out.
That’s not entirely fair, and it’s not likely to be true anymore. The Avalanche definitely got bigger and meaner on the blue line.
