Update: How GM Chris MacFarland put the Avalanche in prime position for another Stanley Cup run
I think Cogs still does a pretty good job at times, in fact it's crazy how long his legs have held up but you are right Wood and LOC being out has hurt the PK considerably. It's not dangerous without them, and they are playing to not screw up which inevitably leads to a mental mistake.I commend him on his deadline moves for sure. Also, the low-risk/high-reward signing of Jo Drouin has paid off in spades. And yes, the acquisition of Johansen was a disaster but they moved on at exactly the right time.
The playoffs will determine this, but I believe the Avs tend to vacillate between filling their depth chart with too many defensive forwards and then too many grinders with scoring touch. We're in the latter part at this point. They never seem to be able to strike a good balance between the two. Colton continues to be a real problem in his own end of the ice, and the penalty kill is suffering horribly of late, possibly (someone on Twitter pointed this out to me) because their two forwards most adept at pressuring the points on the PK in Wood and LOC are gone, and the remaining forwards are too slow, which allows them to do whatever the hell they want high in the zone, and the goaltending/defense down low just isn't good enough to stop it.
Another disappointing season.So are we happy with Chris right now? I think we're happy with Chris.
