Colorado Misses Playoffs for the First Time in 13 Years
The Colorado Avanche is out of the playoffs for the first time since 1994, the team tried hard at the end to be in the playoffs but it was just not enough. They collected 30 of the 36 possible points in the last 18 games for the regular season.
The game started when the Avalanche dedicated a video tribute to Peter Forsberg, who is a forward for the Nashville Predators and who turn all the hopes down for the Avalanche by winning the game 4-2. “It's a tough feeling coming in here," said Forsberg, whose team clinched the fourth seed in the Western Conference and will host the San Jose Sharks in the first round of the playoffs. “You've got to be professional”.
Avalanche Captain Joe Sakic doesn’t care for the playoffs anymore now that his team is out of the competition. He says he ended up the season and that he is very tired and that he is not going to watch them because is very hard to just sit back and see.
Colorado had a lot of rookies this year, that’s the reason the captain Joe Sakic decided to sign up for one more year. “With the way the young kids played this season, I really believe we grew up as a team," said Sakic, who led the team in points (100), goals (36) and assists (64). "I'm very excited about what we have here."
"I think with a new team and new faces it took a little bit longer to gel," forward Ian Laperriere said. "It's the only thing I can point to. But to come back from that far like we did, I've never been a part of something like that."
No matter how Colorado's late-season charge is gone, the Avalanche will be spectators for the playoffs for the first time since the franchise moved from Quebec before the 1995-96 season.
