Thoughts On Tonight's Big Game With Dallas

Why I'm optimistic on Avs' chances, plus my SuperBook Colorado 3 Best NHL Bets

I think the Avs have got this one. No way are they going to follow up Wednesday’s home loss to Minnesota with a follow-up defeat to the Dallas Stars.

The Avs are -160 favorites to beat the Stars at SuperBook Colorado, and, well, even though I don’t make actual picks on Avs games? Yeah, I think that looks like a bargain price right now.

I think the loss to Minny really ticked the boys off, and another reason why I like the Avs tonight: Jared Bednar called out some players as “passengers” after the loss (though he didn’t name names).

You think they’re going to want to be on the other end of any verbal wrath tonight - at least in terms of effort? I don’t think so either.
