November 11 seems like a long time ago. It’s been 129 days since then, but it might as well be a decade. 

It was on that Saturday night in November that the St. Louis Blues went to Denver and embarrassed the Colorado Avalanche, 8-2, at Ball Arena. A pair of both shorthanded and power-play goals for the Blues led to perhaps the ugliest loss of the season for the Avs.
