DATER: All's Still Well With Avs In Playoffs - Except For The Lousy Starts

Can't keep playing catch-up hockey all the time

Yeah, so that was an irritating night in Dallas for YOUR Colorado Avalanche. Another terrible start, a crushing hit to one of the best players from Jamie Benn, followed by another “can they really come back again” rally in the third period, only to end too little, too late.

The series, tied 1-1, moves to Denver now for Games 3 and 4 on Saturday and Monday.

Jared Bednar needs to thump it into his team’s skulls that falling behind 3-0 in playoff games is too hard of a way to play and win. It’s happened three times now in the Avs’ first seven postseason games, with one win and two losses.
