The start of the 2013 – 2014 season for the Colorado Avalanche will be one that marks a change. The severity of the change, however, might be the thing that determines Colorado’s success in future years as a franchise. This change has been set into motion by the firing of coach Joe Sacco who ...
The 2013 Colorado Avalanche season has mercifully come to an end. The season, as a whole, was definitely a disappointing one for the Avalanche, who had such high hopes at the start of the season.
