Colorado Avalanche: Joe Sakic Sends Message to Core

It’s been a frustrating couple of seasons for the Colorado Avalanche and their fans. After Korenke Sports Entertainment replaced head coach Joe Sacco and general manager Greg Sherman with Avs legends Patrick Roy and Joe Sakic, fans became hopeful.

The Sakic and Roy duo delivered in their first season, leading the Avs to a division title in the league’s toughest division. The playoffs didn’t go our way, but the future looked bright.

It’s been downhill ever since. Back-to-back seasons that ended without the playoffs, crushing injuries, poor play, and questionable decisions plagued the team.
