Colorado Avalanche 2017-18 Season Preview

Posted on September 27, 2017 by Paul

I don’t know why the Colorado Avalanche were a complete and utter dumpster fire last season, but they were. Perhaps it all started going down the mountain before the first snow fall. Head Coach, Patrick Roy, resigned a month before … Continue reading →

Calgary Flames 2017-18 Season Preview

Posted on September 21, 2017 by Paul
