Las Vegas - Gonna lace up my skates for the first time this season and take a little spin on the NHL ice. Looking at the Avalanche over the Blues in the second game of the back-to-back that most teams are playing in order to cut down on travel. Everyone is expecting big things from Colorado, which is why the Avs were listed as the favorite to win the Stanley Cup (7/1), the West Division (3/2), as well as topping the list for the most points (77.5). So, what happens? They go out and get crushed in their first game, AT HOME, 4-1, against St. Louis. Banking on a quick turnaround tonight and a small plate of revenge while singing 'Rocky Mountain High' to my boxer puppy!
