Avs Closing In On Calgary

from Woody Paige of the Denver Post,
“We’re in a position that if we keep winning, we can be where we want to be,” Budaj said.
Let me translate for Budaj, who is from Slovakia.
The Avalanche has 80 points, Calgary 84. They are even at 72 games. They are even for the season at three games apiece. They play two more - April 3 in Calgary and on the last day of the season, April 8, in Denver.
The last is a makeup from Dec. 21, when one of the 50 snowstorms postponed the game. Wouldn’t it be odd if that game determines the playoff team. Very well could be.
If the Avalanche maintains pace with the slumping Flames in the teams’ other eight games and then wins those two close encounters, the Avs are in, the Flames out.
That’s what the Avalanche goalie was trying to say. You don’t have to translate that he is 26-15-5 in net and getting stronger.

Not Good! Two totally different teams right now. The Avs are playing with a lot of confidence. Calgary cannot find a way to win. Flames have 4 home and 6 road games remaining. If they can’t find a way to win on the road…..say goodbye to the playoffs!
