The Avalanche were supposed to play in Finland in late 2020, but the pandemic nixed that. Today, the NHL announced a new schedule for international competition in Tampere, Finland this November, that will have the Avs play the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The games are slated for Nov. 4 and 5.

I’ve never been to Finland. I was supposed to in 2001, but Sept. 11 nixed that. I hope to be there for these games.

I still think Vegas will make the playoffs. Dallas is choking. The Golden Knights got a huge win last night in OT over Washington, and are just two points back of the Stars. My money is on Vegas to get that eighth spot. And, that would be the first-round matchup – Colorado and Vegas.
