Adrian: Regarding the theme itself, I’m not a fan of ‘Built to Win’ as it just feels like a repeat of ‘All in,’ and whether I think that claim is valid remains to be seen.

John A. Babiak After concluding what some might consider a shocking and franchise-altering trade deadline, especially in concert with other moves made this season, we unpack where the Colorado Avalanche stand heading into the final 16 games of the regular season. Adrian: I liked the addition of Martin Necas more and more every day. We all felt the Avalanche special teams were getting stale with Mikko, Nate, and Cale so definitively positioned in their roles.

Evan: I still don’t love the trade even weeks later. Losing a key forward factor has hurt the Avalanche. I still believe Rantanen and the team could’ve come to an agreement, especially now knowing what the cap will be in the years to come.

Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images Alright, my bad everyone. I wrote last week about how folks thinking the Chicago loss was horrible should chill the heck out, and I definitely wasn’t thinking “heck.” I ended that piece by saying to save your anger for when the Colorado Avalanche deserves it. Well, a week later ... they deserve it. Get mad.

Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images I got a bone to pick with Avs fans and media right now and it might not be a popular take - Stop overreacting to losses! They happen! The Colorado Avalanche lost 3-1 to Chicago on Wednesday and it seemed like everyone’s take was apocalyptic. The Avs weren’t good enough! They didn’t work hard enough! The top line was lazy! The defense is terrible! NO. Stop. None of that is correct.
