The magic potion has worn off. The Avs are losing like it’s going out of style. They’ve lost five of their last six games, and have given away their lead in the Northwest Division.
But it’s the end of Thanksgiving break. I don’t want to talk about all the negatives. I don’t want to talk about [...]

With 4:39 left in the 3rd period, things were looking bleak for the Colorado Avalanche. The Philadelphia Flyers had just scored on the power play, and while the Avs were still holding on to a 5-4 lead, the situation was looking all too similar.

The Avalanche hit a bit of a speed bump against the Edmonton Oilers, losing their first game at home after giving up a procession of power play goals. Anderson had a season high goals against in the 5-3 pummeling.

Despite an uncertain and turbulent offseason, the Phoenix Coyotes have started the 2009-2010 season off strong. The Colorado Avalanche has come out of the gates even stronger. The Avs came out of Wednesday night’s game with a victory to stay undefeated at the Pepsi Center this year and extend their Western Conference lead.

The Colorado Avalanche picked the perfect costume for Halloween last weekend. They dressed up as the team everyone thought they’d be this season.
