The Colorado Avalanche face off against St. Louis twice this week, Sunday night in Denver and again Tuesday night in St. Louis.
St. Louis, currently seated sixth in the Western Conference, is looking at these two match-ups as a source for four easy points to help secure its post-season spot.
If the Blues caught any of Colorado's loss against Edmonton, these points desired by St. Louis are well within the team's reach.
Both Edmonton and Colorado went into Friday night's match-up, out of playoff range. Edmonton came out on the ice with more drive than its opponents. Edmonton ultimately snapped its six-game losing slump, Friday night, at the Pepsi Center.
During the game, P.A. Parenteau tried to fire up his team with a tying goal in the first period. No matter how hard the leading scorer worked, he couldn't muster up an momentum on the burnt-out Avalanche.
According to Rick Sadowski, of NHL.com, Friday's game all to well resembled the sloppy playing that has defined the 2013 season for the Colorado Avalanche.
If Colorado wants to make any impact during their end of the season, they need to stop as many playoff contenders as possible starting with St. Louis, Sunday night on home ice.
Sounds like the Avs are having a pretty weak season, I wonder why that is. Good blog though, I don't follow hockey as much as I used to but now I'm curious to see how the Avalanche did against the Blues.
