The Avalanche took it to the Canadiens on Friday, but with under five minutes remaining, the Avs did what they do best— give up a goal at the most inopportune moment.

The worst part?

I knew it was coming.

Literally seconds before the go-ahead goal was scored, I said "Colorado is notorious for giving up a late goal" and sure as hell, they make me look like a genius.

It’s so sad, but it is the story of the season for this squad.

Odds are ...

… today, they take on the Detroit Red Wings at a sold out Joe Louis Arena.

What are the odds that the Avalanche can again take down their nemesis?

The bookmakers have it at greater than 3-to-1 odds that the Avs will lose.

Ouch.

It's not often you see odds that high.

Can you blame them?

There's obviously no way to know the outcome of a game for certain, but how can anyone truly believe the Avs will beat the Wings today?
