Great highlight of the Avs where the entire media take is annoyingly R-E-L-A-X...as if the future is always simply an extension of the past. Hard to relax at 57%.
The hole you dig early is far deeper that you appreciate (I remain curious as to when that early crystallization begins to get worrisome in sports), and a front office that does nothing to solve an obvious problem is in danger of inviting real locker room dissension. MacKinnon and Rantanen can get salty quick.
Annunen is at least better, they have injuries and reinforcements are coming, but if the net isn't solved and the calendar flips to December...there's real trouble in Denver.
Re the footnote on Fred A. and his (history of) injury, I can’t imagine that any team that has him on the payroll would be confident that he’d stand up through a season and expect him to be physically whole for 20+ straight games in the spring. It’s like bringing fine china at a kegger. Goaltender durability might be an interesting area of investigation (will land with Leafs fans). Some Gs no matter how protected by workload and maintenance time pull up at the most inconvenient times.
