The Week That Was the Avs 2-17/2-23

This past week the Avalanche only had a handful of games, however there was plenty to talk about. In addition to the games there was a trade to talk about, the first with perhaps more on the way before Monday's trade deadline. This move brought about some very interesting quotes from the departed. As for where the team sits in the playoff picture they are only two points out of 8th place, having gone 2-1 this week, but also struggle to gain any ground as it seems every time a Western conference team takes the ice they get points win or lose. Only 4 points seperate 8th and 13th in the West right now, but Phoenix has given themselves a bit of breathing room being 5 points up in 7th and tied for the division lead.

The Week(s) That Was the Avs 2/3-2/16

Given real life got a bit in the way the previous week this recap will look back over two weeks, not just one. In those two weeks the Avalanche had 5 games and got 6 of the possible 10 points, having unlucky bounces take potential points away from them in both Vancouver games but having a goalie steal a point for them against St. Louis. The team would also finish this stretch a few points out of a playoff spot as new teams entered the race and 6th through 13th are only seperated by 8 points (as of this writing) with the 6th place team Chicago sliding (1-8-1 last 10) and Anaheim in 13th but charging up the ranks.

The Avalanche came out after the All-Star break and failed to take advantage of teams around them in the standings losing, losing both of their games themselves. Both losses came against division opponents dropping the Avalanche to 2-12 within their own division on the year and they now sit 3 points out of the playoffs seeing the Wild in that 8th spot.
