Two goals from Lehkonen feel pretty meaningless for the Colorado Avalanche as their mistakes are punished heavily causing the first regulation loss of the season. Not a lot went Colorado’s way as the Avs do more finding ways to lose than Boston does winning.

Anyone else getting the feeling we still need a 2C? Nelson looks like he doesn’t give a shit or just can’t keep up.
So, just where is Blackwood? He seems to be forever "close" but never actually ready. Perhaps the reason Bednar has played Wedgie for 9 games in a row is because he thought/thinks Blackwood would be playing well before now.
I know it's common in the NHL, but the blatant mendacity about injuries is ridiculous.
Cmack slammed the cup window shut when he let Kadri leave. Prove me wrong.
I think ragging on Wedgewood is uncalled for. He made some sensational saves today.
Wedgewood has been great, and he was great in todays game in spots…. But I don't understand why they didn't start Miner tonight after he showed that he can play against CAROLINA…. Boston doesn't have as much scoring talent and they still started Wedge. I get he got the night off thursday but IMO it was a mistake to start him over Miner today. Give Wedger one more game so he comes back rested and good against the Devils.
The “gigantic massive errors that end up in the back of your net” have been a problem for a few seasons now. No reason to think it’ll get “cleaned up” at this point. It’s part of the “fly the zone as soon as we get the puck” system the Avs run. Nobody supports the puck in the d zone and if there’s a turnover there’s nobody there to defend. Bednar has never shown any desire to change anything so you can just put 1-3 free goals on the board to the opposition almost every game. Another feature of the Avs system is that they just don’t value defending the dangerous parts of the ice and yet another feature is that they do the riskiest things possible at both blue lines. The coaches have no desire to fix any of this.
Imagine how frustrated Mackinnon is. He needs to do all the assists and goals, and he needs to do all the fights as well. Does any of the 2, 3 and 4 liners do any work? I thought they traded Mikko to become more deep. Deep Avs is not. Not in any sense. It's just a Mackinnon show.
A record of 5-1-4 avs fans are probably celebrating this but this is scary to me. This is them out of the playoffs in the 2nd round with their continued inability to win in OT/shootout.
