The Avalanche over the last month are having trouble getting any positive momentum going. Outside of the top guys and Blackwood, it's been kind of a mess, and emphasized after a shutout loss to Vancouver. Without trying to be overly negative, how good is this Avs team really? What should our expectations realistically be right now? Are they really still contenders, and if not, how can they get back there?
