Scott Takes: (In)consistency continues to crush Avs

I tweeted about it just last week. I caught a lot of flack when I aired my grievances about it on social media. It is something I stand by, and last night was further proof.

By “it,” I’m referring to the Avs’ (in)consistency issues.

I believe it was @0ffScottFree who I saw tweet about this team’s inconsistency a few nights ago.

It’s their Achilles heel. #GoAvsGo

It is something that fellow Avs pundit and local Denver journalist Steve Staeger reminded Twitter of last night, amid another brutal collapse by the Avalanche.

After going up 2-0 against the San Jose Sharks, a team that is among the league’s basement dwellers this season — one of the bottom-three teams in the NHL heading into Monday night’s game — the Avs fizzled in a blaze of glory, burning up in dramatic fashion while allowing six unanswered to San Jose to fall 6-2.

It’s something I talked about on a recent podcast with dear friends of CHN, @Eurolanche. It’s what Steve is referring to in the tweet above.
