The Avalanche's 2013 season is now turning into a broken record. Colorado is continuing to make rookie mistakes during the last month of the season: were missing passes, not taking advantage of our power plays, and our defense is just pathetic.
The broken record played loudly when the Avalanche took on the Coyotes in Phoenix, Saturday night.
Our defense's was just appalling. They left Avalanche goalie, Semyon Varlamov, to simply fend for himself. This lack of defense was clearly shown, when the Coyotes scored their first goal of the night, with Mikkel Boedker's wristshot in the first. Jon Hejda didn't even attempt to stop it, he just made one light swat at it and left it to Varly.
Along with our lack of defense, our offense wasn't much better. The whole night we looked slow. We were missing simple passing, and continuing to not take advantage of our power plays. Out of the four power play opportunities our team had, we didn't score on one. Power plays have been one of the major issues with our team this year. We are playing them like we don't have the man-advantage.
This broken record has placed the Avalanche at the bottom of the Western Conference. This team is even below the Florida Panthers, making us the worst team in the NHL.
