Since I'm expecting all L's, they'll probably win 1 or 2. Which ones? Throw a dart blindfolded
You know I wouldn't be surprised if we win three of the four, but the one which is an auto loss is Egghead on the Island.Since I'm expecting all L's, they'll probably win 1 or 2. Which ones? Throw a dart blindfolded
Their shooting percentage is down because they’re shooting more, specifically from lower percentage areas. They’re still scoring at basically the same rate as they were early on.Article focuses on lack of secondary scoring and finish rather than goaltending:
Free-falling Avalanche at risk of wasting early season success if they don't address depth - TheHockeyNews
While in seasons past it would have been safe to suggest that poor possession metrics led to offensive ineptitude, that’s not at all the case this season under Bednar. At 5-on-5, the Avalanche rank 11th in Corsi percentage (50.6), 11th in shot percentage (51.2), seventh in scoring chance percentage (52.6) and 17th in high-danger chance percentage (50.3). Limited to their past 26 games, too, Colorado’s underlying metrics are just as favorable, with ranks of eighth, ninth, fourth and 14th in the respective categories since Nov. 29. Despite the positive metrics, though, a lack of finish has tanked the Avalanche’s offensive output. Over their past 26 games, Colorado’s 5-on-5 shooting percentage is a league-worst 5.7 percent. They’re now among the 10-worst teams in the NHL in shooting percentage at 5-on-5, boasting a 7.7 percent rate on the season.

We will win! Just probably not this week, and probably not when we can still make the playoffs.
Wow Sharks have been getting worse goaltending but are 4th in the league.
