Just About Everyone Was Wrong About The Avs

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
We are at the midway point of the season, and I figured it was time to look back at the worst prediction I made in September by far: that the Colorado Avalanche would finish last in the Western Conference.
Of course, I wasn’t alone in the media to make that assertion; it was a widespread feeling. But it doesn’t get me off the hook. So, when Avs coach Joe Sacco gave me a call this week, he broke into a hearty laugh when I told him how much crow he’s making a lot of us hockey scribes eat these days.
It was the kind of laugh that makes you feel like Sacco is enjoying beating down the dire preseason predictions. Last place? Ha! Try 24-13-6 heading into Wednesday night’s home game against the New York Islanders, and battling for first place in the Northwest Division and third place in the West.
