Well, we're a couple of weeks into the 2008 preview and it looks like 2008 will not be a Happy Year for the Colorado Avalanche or their fans for that matter. They have played the scum of the league, Phoenix, Washington, NY Islanders and the only decent team they played the Detroit Red Wings. Of these games they have come crawling away with two points (of which they had to pull out in overtime against the Islanders).
Why has all this happened to the Av's? Well Grandpa Senior and Junior (aka Joe Sakic and Ryan Smyth) are nursing injuries. Could there be a silver lining in the cloud? Well given the combined age of 95 for these two players then it may be a good thing if they can get some rest and be ready for the playoffs. We all know that considering these guys will soon be able to apply for Candian Pension Plan benefits so they cannot go through the grinds of a full season.

If Jose Theodore can think about being a Montreal Canadien again and play well, then they might be able to slip into the 7th or 8th spot in the Western Conference - but that doesn't look realistic!
