"Suddenly, the 2016-17 last-place Avalanche is 4-1 and looking like a playoff contender."

Sorry Denver Post... get of your rah-rah homer advertising for the team and wait for reality to set in! Sure, we all hope for the best with the Avs, especially us die-hard fans. However, there's very little with this team that's cause for running up the playoff banner... yet!
