It’s all fun and games until we reach the halfway point of the season, and teams and fans alike begin to worry about the postseason. The Colorado Avalanche began the season with a bang and then went back to their old ways. At some point, they were among the top teams of the Central Division and it was oh so beautiful – now they’re on the wildcard.
The so-called “playoff push” begins at different times for each team, depending on the standings (and for some, it won’t even happen). As much as I want to keep a positive attitude and repeat to myself that “hope dies last”, I think it would be good if the Colorado Avalanche began their “playoff push” now.
