They were beautiful. What was the catalyst for the slide?

Dostal’s injury
Christmas. The Samuelis wanted the 1st overall of ~~next~~ this year’s draft so the team has promised to try and give it to them.
I feel like it may have been when they lost to the lowly Jackets.
They never looked the same to me since the nationally televised Colorado game.
The Avs sent us to the shadow realm when they beat us and played an UNO reverse card on our win streak because #29 is a weird hockey sorcerer who can do that
I don’t know the exact turning point but this team was never truly built to compete this year. As I’ve been saying, the actual star talent of this core is all 21 and under. The vets are mostly here for leadership qualities and plugging holes. It was a nice run but this was so predictable. ‘Young guys start fast and hot before the league adapts to them, the same time that the high mileage vets start sagging in play’. This team needs more development, experience, and a better supporting cast. It should come, but this year was never meant to be the opening of a Stanley Cup window.
