They're gonna mess him up, should've left him in the AHL for the season unless he was doing really well and we were pushing for the playoffs rather than in free fall.

Yo-yo-ing these guys rarely works.

Last year at this point the Avs were 9 points behind the Blues. We all know how that ended. If Varlamov gets back to his average, there is no reason the Avs can’t pull back in to the race for both wild cards.

Last year not everybody had figured the Avs out. This year few teams have difficulties to defend against us.

The fact that they have scored the 10th most goals in the NHL says otherwise.

They are at 2.90G/GP over the last 10 games. 3.27 on the season. Down a bit.
And this despite scoring 13 goals in two games. On the other hand the team looked much better in the latest three games, so maybe they'll force their way into the playoffs again. I don't expect it, though. Not unless Bednar decides to coach the team he has and not the team he imagines.

Yah those 6/7 goal games skew the average.

If there ever was a year to sneak into the playoffs, this would be it. The bar is lower than its been for a long time in the Central / West.
