What a wild couple of days for the Colorado Avalanche.
Coming off a loss on Sunday where the Avs blew a two goal lead in Edmonton. It appeared the season was lost. Down four points with 18 games go to, the team needed one heck of a run to have a chance.
But meanwhile, the good news was that for the first time Since December, the team had its three top scorers back in Paul Statsny, Ryan Smyth and Joe Sakic.
And now the deals the last two days. First yesterday Peter Forsberg signs a deal with the Avalanche. Peter is probably the most dynamic player I have seen outside of Wayne Gretzky. Assuming he is healthy, he will add a new dimension coming back.
Of course, the last couple of games, it was obvious that defense was lacking. Jeff Finger and Brett Clarke have been injured and their have been lapses that cost them.
Now they bring back Adam Foote and picked up Selei from Florida. Much bigger and more physical, the toughness on this team just increased tremendously.
Big win tonight in OT against Calgary and Vancouver tomorrow night.
17 games to go!
