The Avalanche are one of the best teams in the NHL, hands down. They are perennial Stanley Cup Favorites and my pick to win the Stanley Cup this year as well as the previous two years (despite the fact that I am a die hard Leafs fan). How can they not be? Their roster is absolutely stacked with legitimate generational offensive and blue line talent. On the night of October 5th, the Colorado Avalanche took on the Vegas Golden Knights at Ball Arena for their 4th game of the preseason.
