The Colorado Avalanche are receiving high praise for the start to their season across the NHL media landscape and rightfully so. The team has one regulation loss through the first 23 games this season and has been on a heater lately, drubbing the San Jose Sharks 6-0 most recently and shutting out their last three opponents.
Notable podcast Spittin’ Chiclets compared the team to the recent Boston Bruins squad that set a record for points in a season, heaping high praise on all assets of the team from Colorado.
Ryan Whitney, Chiclets host and veteran of 481 NHL games, spoke glowingly of the Avalanche, specifically MacKinnon, Makar and Necas.
