Will repeat... Avs are the most exciting mediocre team in the NHL.
Find the play of the Avs less than mediocre. Constant looking at pucks instead of moving their feet. Is why I gave up watching the games
They have been much better than mediocre, but I suggest you watch the games if you want to comment on their play.
For some reason, some people think that the Avs are contending for a cup this year, and that they are falling short if they don't.
The team clearly has massive holes in it, and not only are they not a contender, they aren't built to contend yet.
They aren't at that stage in their rebuild, and having the hottest line in over a decade may make it seem like this is a team ready for a deep playoff run. They aren't.
Is the future bright??? Absolutely. I wouldn't worry too much about the Avs losing some games here or there.
They are on the fast-track to being a successful franchise again.
They haven't been good in what?...13 years? 14 years? Their last rebuild FAILED completely and wasted 5 years. They went after veterans to fill the holes, and it was a disaster.
You're just going to have to be a little more patient and enjoy the individual successes on the team.
It's the Mack-Rants-Landy show this year as far as I'm concerned.
Hoping for a first round win, but that's about it.
