Here with my Avs update. 
Semyon Varlymov is seemingly carrying the Avalanche through games. He has to be one of the players of the month if he keeps it up. Only allowing one goal again tonight in a very tight game. The best thing about the Avs having a hot goaltender is obvious as this is what will give them a chance at the playoffs.
It will still be a fight to the end in all leagues as the East has no clear leader with both the Rangers and Penguins dominating. I still feel Pittsburgh will pull it off in the end.
The same could be said of the West, but I have a hard time seeing the Canucks beat out St. Louis for the top.
If the playoffs began today it would be Vancouver and Colorado which sounds fun as they are division rivals even if it is less than it used to be. Though the sisters have dominated the Avs most of the season and I could not see the Avs winning it.
Toronto is dropping big time, oh man it is a shame after such a strong start.
