FUN FACT: In 5 games this season, the Avalanche with 7 goals total have yet to surpass the Wild with 8 goals total and the Wild have only played 2 games. The Avs are also sporting -10 in goal differential (17-7).
I suppose I shouldn't pile on. It can't be too much fun for them right now, even if it does put a big 'ole smile on my face.
Speaking of things that put a smile on my face, Tapes n Tapes! They are one of us! And they are your musical feature today!
