Avs Can’t Match Wings Skill

from Terry Frei of the Denver Post,
With the exception of Game 2 in Detroit, the Avs have competed, scrapped, persevered, been resilient and not embarrassed themselves. But the problem is, only in part because of their continuing injury problems, they’re just not anywhere near as good as the Red Wings.
That might be almost as galling to the Avalanche loyalists as the site of all those Red Wings jerseys in the Pepsi Center seats.
The latest unofficial count is that 324,000 former Michigan residents now live in Colorado; and sometimes it seems that 323,284 of them claim to have had been at every Red Wings game until they moved.
But that’s not the Red Wings’ fault.
Colorado has a tiered roster, finished out with grit.
The Wings have skill throughout, and that’s why they’re about to end the Avalanche season.
