Avalanche Crush Stars as No. 1 Western Seed Gets Close

EDMONTON, ALBERTA – If the Colorado Avalanche keeps playing like this, members of their 51-person traveling party who aren’t Canadian citizens already might want to consider applying for dual citizenship. If they do, they’re gonna be here a good while.

The Avs chewed up and spit out the Dallas Stars 4-0 on Wednesday afternoon before me and an approximate crowd of three or four others at Rogers Place. The Western Conference round-robin victory gives the Avs a 2-0-0 record so far and a big leg up on the first overall seed in the conference when the actual, real playoffs start on or about Aug. 11.
