The Colorado Avalanche entered the holidays with a surprising 2-1 OT victory over the Chicago Blackhawks two days before Christmas. I wouldn’t go so far to call this a Christmas miracle, but it certainly felt like one.
It been tough being an Avs fan lately, and by lately, I mean since the mid-2000s. The 2001 Stanley Cup championships seems aeons away, as does the feeling that the Avs might ever have a chance at the Cup again.
The last decade has seen the once-proud Colorado Avalanche franchise win only two playoff series and miss the postseason six times.
