It was a successful year for the Colorado Eagles which ended in familiar fashion as they failed to advance out of the Pacific Division yet again. A tight best-of-five game series with the Abbotsford Canucks went all the way to Game 5 but a 6-0 shutout on home ice wasn’t the note the squad wanted to end on. The Eagles also experienced a scoring drought going 1/15 on the power play in the series with 10 total goals scored and getting shutout twice.
First, the positives as the Eagles set franchise records in their seven-year AHL history for most points (94) and wins (43) as they won their first Pacific Division title and earned a “first round” bye to avoid the play-in.
