A lot of people want to tag the Avalanche as a not so physical team, which an argument can be made for that, but there is a difference between being a physical team and being the most physical team in the league. The Avs don't need to be that team. They aren't built that way. But having a more physical presence is something they needed to address. Did they?

Next, The Hockey Writers discuss three bold predictions for the Avalanche this season, one that is sure to get a discussion going. I throw my own bold prediction into the mix for this upcoming season and it's a good one.

Finally, all our thoughts are with Peter McNab. The color commentator for the Avs announced he was diagnosed with cancer, but he will battle through and continue to call games for the Avs this season. We are ALL pulling for you Peter.
