Right now the Colorado Avalanche have little chance of winning. At the halfway point in the season (41 games in), they have just 13 wins. Only five of those have come at home.
Now, we all know how hard it is for us fans to watch a losing team. Heck, a lot of fans aren’t even watching anymore. It’s just so frustrating.
However, I maintain that’s it’s so much harder for the players.
Acknowledged: Colorado Avalanche players, like all professional athletes, make really good money. Even the least-paid player makes six figures — I, for one, wouldn’t turn my nose up at Andreas Martinsen’s $640,000.
