Through seven games the Avalanche have yet to lose in regulation even after an overtime loss to Utah on the road, complete with very strange officiating and overturned goals, but they still have plenty to clean up with a lackluster powerplay. The Avs also finally dropped their Nordiques jerseys and they're just as beautiful as we could've hoped, but did they fumble the release with a lack of inventory?

The Avalanche are off to a great start to this season with a 3-0-1 record, miles ahead of their 0-4 start from last season. Wins over the Mammoth and Sabres might not have been perfect, but the high end stars like MacKinnon and Necas have helped lead them to wins while Scott Wedgewood dominates in goal. Even the shootout loss to the Stars saw the Avs dominate most of the game, even though the result wasn't what they wanted. What can still improved upon through four games?
