Avalanche left huffing the Jets’ afterburners, fall 6-1
Bruce Fedyck-USA TODAY SportsThe Colorado Avalanche likely won't be issuing apologies tonight, so I'll do so on their behalf: I am so sorry you had this abomination of a hockey game. No one deserves this—ever. It's cruel and unusual and in a perfect world, somebody would be held criminally responsible.
It appeared the Avalanche took the ice prior to the start of tonight’s game. I mean, I watched Burgundy & Blue jerseys skate around and practice hockey-like things before Winnipeg’s 7:15 EST puck drop. However, that appears to have been a cruel illusion—if the Avalanche showed up, the only way you could tell was from the four penalties they took.
