I ka hopena o Nowemapa, aia ka Avalanche i nā pāʻani he 13 kahi i pāʻani ai lākou i kēlā me kēia lā no 25 mau lā.He hōʻoluʻolu a he kaumaha.ʻAʻole paʻa nā mahina mua ʻelua o ke kau.ʻO ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka papa kuhikuhi NHL maoli no ka manawa mua he pono.
Akā ua luhi kēia hana maʻamau, a ua ʻike ʻo Avs (18-11-2) i kona hopena.I loko o ia manawa, ua nalowale lākou ʻelima o kā lākou mau pāʻani ʻeono mua ma ka -14 ʻokoʻa pahuhopu a me nā ʻeha he nui.
A laila hoʻopololei lākou, lanakila ʻelima o nā pāʻani ʻeono e hiki mai ana.ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o Colorado.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka lā hoʻomaha, ua ninaninau au i kekahi mau mea pāʻani Avalanche e ʻike i ka mea a lākou e hoʻomanaʻo nui ai mai ko lākou wā kamaliʻi.ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha ka ʻike ʻana o ka hapa nui i nā mea hockey.A laila ʻo Mikko Rantanen.
1. Ua loaʻa hou iā Martin Kaut kahi manawa hou, akā ʻo ia ka hopena o ka hoʻomanawanui o ka hui i ka wā e hoʻokūkū ai.I ka wā i makemake ai ka Avalanche i ka hoʻololi hou ʻana i ka papa inoa ma ka lā 8 o Dekemaba, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻoneʻe i ka mea pāʻani ʻōpio i ka AHL me ka ʻole e hōʻole ʻia.Akā, ua haʻalele ka hoʻokolokolo - ma ka pilikia o ka nalowale ʻana me ka ʻole e hoʻihoʻi mai i kekahi.Hoʻouna ʻo ia i kahi leka maopopo loa.
"Ua ʻike mākou i kekahi mau hana maikaʻi loa mai iā ia ma kahi hapa liʻiliʻi o nā pāʻani," wahi a Jared Bednar i kēlā manawa.“… ʻO ka ʻokoʻa me kekahi o nā poʻe pāʻani ma ʻaneʻi a ma ʻaneʻi, ʻo ia… i ka wā e ʻike ai lākou i kēia pāʻani, he haʻahaʻa liʻiliʻi loa ia mai ia mea.E pāʻani lākou i kēlā me kēia pō.E lawe mai.(Ho'āʻo) pilikia paʻa.Pāʻani mālie.Pāʻani mālie.He pāʻani maikaʻi”.
Ua ʻae ka ʻaha i ka hōʻole, a ʻelua pule ma hope mai ua hoʻi ʻo ia i Denver.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Bednar ma muli o ka hakakā ma waena o Charles Hudon a me Jean-Luc Foudy."ʻAʻole kūpono ka hoʻololi mau o nā mea pāʻani," wahi āna."Akā ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke nānā i nā kāne e pāʻani maikaʻi loa i ka pāʻani hoʻokahi a laila hāʻule i lalo a ʻae wale."
2. I ka pule i hala aku nei, ua hōʻike ʻo Sportico e noʻonoʻo ana ka NHL e hoʻoponopono hou i ka papahana, e ʻike ai i nā "hoʻokūkū honua" e pāʻani pinepine ai kekahi i kekahi, ma mua o ke ʻano o kēia manawa o kēlā me kēia hui e pāʻani ana i kēlā me kēia kūlanakauhale i kēlā me kēia kau.ʻAʻole wau ma ʻaneʻi e kaʻana like i ka nonchalance like ʻole i makemake ʻole kekahi e ʻike.Makemake au e kuhikuhi he manaʻo lapuwale kēia no Avalanche.
ʻEkolu wale nō mau hui NHL ʻē aʻe i loko o 800 mau mile.ʻO Coyotes kahi kokoke loa.ʻO ke kahua mokulele ʻo Phoenix he 602 mile mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo Denver.He 628 makahiki o Las Vegas.He 772 makahiki o St. Louis.ʻAʻohe mea hoʻokūkū ʻāina ma ʻaneʻi.
3. Hōʻike ʻo Rantanen i kahi hoʻolālā hoihoi 3 ma 3 ma hope o ka pāʻani ʻehā o Aws i loko o ʻelua pule, e hoʻomanaʻo: “ʻOiaʻiʻo he mea nui ka huki mua ʻana.ʻo nā kekona 30 mua e paʻa wale i ka puck a ʻaʻole e hoʻololi.No ka mea, ʻo ka hahai ʻana i nā kānaka no 30 kekona e luhi ʻoe.A laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻololi i ka ʻāpana O a laila e loaʻa iā ʻoe nā kāne hou e kūʻē i ka poʻe i noho ma ka hau no 40 kekona.ʻO 3v3 ia.ʻIke wau he mea ʻoluʻolu ia i kekahi manawa, akā ke hoʻāʻo nei ʻoe e lanakila i ka pāʻani.
Evan Rodriguez: "I koʻu wā kamaliʻi, hoʻokomo wau i ka Roller Coaster Tycoon ma kaʻu kamepiula.ʻO kēia koʻu wā ʻōpiopio loa.Ua pāʻani au… he mea ia aʻu e hoʻomanaʻo mau ai mai koʻu wā kamaliʻi.
ʻO Alex Newhook: "He pane ʻino ia no ka mea he mea hockey wau, akā hoʻomanaʻo wau he lāʻau i kūpono loa iaʻu.paha koʻu koʻokoʻo hui mua.
Logan O'Connor: Uena Hockey.A he lāʻau hockey.Noʻu, ʻo ia ka helu ʻekahi ma ka papa inoa.
ʻO Mikko Rantanen: “He pahu pahu.ʻO kēlā me kēia Kalikimaka i koʻu wā kamaliʻi, kūʻai au i nā pahu pahu hou.A me nā pūkini… nā pūkini mānoanoa o koʻu kupunawahine.
