Well here we are again. The department of player safety has done it again. A deliberate and vicious hit to an Avalanche player will go unpunished for the second time this season. At the same time they had no problem handing out a two game suspension to Cedric Paquette of the Montreal Canadiens for a boarding hit that was bad, but nowhere near the hit on Bowen Byram. Trying to figure the department out is as confusing as a riddle.

I also take a look at the Avs schedule for the month of November. The Avs only play 10 games during the month (6 home, 4 away) and they are all against teams from the middle of the standings down. The Avs should be the favorite in all of these matchups. The problem, they only play two division games (Stars, Preds) so making ground on the teams above them might prove difficult. Going 8-2 or 7-3 over the month is very achievable.

Finally, even though this is a hockey podcast, when someone of Von Miller's stature in the world of Colorado sports is traded away, I needed to take a moment to appreciate what he has meant to the Denver Broncos, and why this is the exact reason I could never be a GM in any sport.
