I had this idea all ready to go a week ago when the Avs played the Blues, and then they had to go and ruin it. But it fits so nicely with Colorado having their first season in the Central division. And then three first-period goals chase Crawford out of the Chicago net.
Oh and the headline for this post was stolen from SportsCenter:
Yes it was a big win. Lets look at the top ten records in the NHL at the moment (as always, calculated by points percentage):
1. Blues (1.55)
2. Avalanche (1.5)
3. Sharks (1.476)
4. Coyotes (1.476)
5. Blackhawks (1.455)
6. Kings (1.409)
7. Ducks (1.391)
8. Bruins (1.381)
9. Wild (1.364)
10. Lightning (1.333)
4 teams from Central
4 teams from Pacific
2 teams from Atlantic
That's not really the point. The point is that with the win the Avs move up and the Blackhawks move down. If the season ended today...the Blues would get the #1 seed in the Central, and Colorado would be hosting Chicago in the first round. Tasty.
