I'm more inclined to agree with you, but lets be honest for a second. Why are the Avs in a playoff spot? Biggest reason why is due to the fall of the Minnesota **** Wild. I think we can all agree here that Wild are a better and deeper team than us. Of course they have some key pieces they're missing that we do, #1 goaler and #1 centre. I agree with the notation that Avs have looked better for parts of the game, first they haven't been heavily relied on Varlamov compared to the super season. Second they have improved the squads depth and actually have usable players in correct positions. Those are improvements, but for one step forward, this team's inability to close off games makes them fall two steps back. 99.9% of the people here said that Avs are a playoff bubble team, they are what we all thought they are. But they're in a playoff spot due to how poor Minnesota and Nashville have been than Avs playing this superb brand of hockey. For the record I said in the podcast that I think Avs would be in a playoff spot, but more in terms of certain teams falling than the Avs becoming great. I think we're seeing this right now as well. This whole NHL season has been really funny, the parity is still very strong, but this year has been very top heavy. Great teams putting like 20 points more than the rest of the pack, where the pack decides who wants to lose it more will miss out IMO.
