Tell It Avs It Is - It's Bad, But It's Not Over - R2 - G4 - S4

Tell It Avs It Is Podcast: A Colorado Avalanche Podcast

The Avalanche lose Game 4 by a final of 5-1 to the Dallas Stars and are pushed to the brink of elimination going into Game 5. Val Nichushkin was placed into the player assistance program and suspended for six months right before the game, and we wish him nothing but health and peace from what's been a horrible battle. Devon Toews missed the game with an illness at the last moment, leaving the Avs without two important pieces on both sides of the puck. The game itself was awful, flat and lifeless with pure domination from the Stars which now leaves staring down elimination in Game 5. But until you lose four times, a series is not over, and this series is not over.
