The Avs continue their dominant stretch of hockey with what might be their weakest underlying game but the score is still just as pretty. https://youtu.be/1gBTGVm_UPo
The Avs managed to beat themselves once again as the final score suggests. Even with the ugliness in this game, the Avs had opportunities to win and once they tighten up it’s not hard to see them going on the warpath. https://youtu.be/CjgA4zhzJjY
The next preview of the 2021 season adds some heat with Rudo and Evan bringing their hot takes to the table for the Avs’ bottom six forwards. Will Pierre-Edouard Bellemare be replaced or re-sign?
