The Colorado Avalanche are a non-functioning hockey team. I don’t know why. If I did, I could get a job with the team and at least get to watch all the games for free.
It’s depressing to catalog where the Avalanche find themselves. Their 11-19-1 record has them dead last in the NHL by four points. At -34 their goal differential is also worst in the league.
We all know the team should be better than that. We have young players with so much talent. We have a new coach with simple systems and a new adherence to advanced statistics and analytics.
