Remember when the Colorado Avalanche went 6-0 in the preseason last year? Everyone got excited about what Jared Bednar brought to the table and we thought the team would be competitive in the toughest division in the league.
Three months later, the team was in a tailspin and players started mailing it in. The Avs turned in the worst season in franchise history and the worst season of any team in the salary cap era. The preseason was nothing but a distant memory of nothingness.
That’s why Tuesday’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights is meaningless.
